Why Renting a Floor Scrubber Might Be Smarter Than Buying for Your Next Project.

Thinking about buying a floor scrubber for your next big cleaning job? 🧼 Before you commit to the investment, it might be worth asking: Should I rent instead?


At Wisconsin Scrub & Sweep, we offer flexible floor scrubber rentals in Wisconsin for exactly this reason. In many cases, renting a scrubber or sweeper is not only more affordable but also more convenient and efficient, particularly for short-term jobs or seasonal deep cleaning tasks.


Let’s break down when renting a floor scrubber is the smarter move—and how to make the most of your rental.


1. Lower Upfront Cost.


Buying a new industrial floor scrubber can cost $5,000 to $35,000+ depending on the size and features. That’s a significant capital expense, especially if you only need the machine for a short-term job or seasonal deep cleaning.


With a rental, you get professional-grade equipment for a fraction of the cost—and without tying up your budget.


💡 Perfect for:


  • Construction cleanup.
  • One-time commercial deep cleans.
  • Special events or seasonal turnover.


2. No Maintenance Worries.


When you rent from Wisconsin Scrub & Sweep, you get a fully serviced, ready-to-run machine—every time.


No need to worry about:


  • Battery replacement.
  • Squeegee blade wear.
  • Vacuum motor issues.
  • Unexpected downtime.


We handle all the maintenance, so you can focus on the job at hand. If something does go wrong, our team will replace or repair the machine quickly.


3. Flexibility to Scale.


Maybe you’re managing a project that requires extra cleaning support for a month or two. Or you’re preparing a space for an inspection or turnover. Renting gives you the flexibility to scale your equipment up (or down) as needed—without long-term commitments.


We offer daily, weekly, and monthly rental options for:



💪 Whether you're cleaning a 5,000 sq. ft. store or a 100,000 sq. ft. warehouse, we’ve got the right machine ready.


4. Try Before You Buy.


Not sure whether a Factory Cat or Kodiak scrubber is right for you?


Renting gives you the chance to test a machine in your own facility before making a big investment. You’ll get hands-on experience with:


  • Maneuverability.
  • Cleaning power.
  • Water recovery.
  • Battery runtime.


👉 If you love it, we can apply part of your rental cost toward a future purchase. Ask us how!


5. Ideal for Seasonal and Temporary Needs.


Some facilities don’t need a scrubber year-round. Seasonal businesses, schools, or warehouses prepping for peak season can benefit big-time from a rental.


You’ll keep your facility clean only when you need to—without paying for a machine to sit idle the rest of the year.


6. Access the Newest Equipment.


At Wisconsin Scrub & Sweep, we update our rental inventory regularly with top-rated machines from Factory Cat and Kodiak, giving you access to powerful, efficient scrubbers without the high purchase cost.
