Advantages of outdoor floor brushes
The rotating brushes for cleaning outdoor floors offer a number of advantages. We have collected the main ones below:
- Cleaning efficiency: The rotating brushes are designed for deep cleaning. Roller or disc brushes rotating at high speed ensure even and thorough cleaning by removing even the most stubborn dirt.
- Versatility: The different types of brushes, both battery and electric, allow you to choose the model that best suits your needs. The battery brushes offer freedom of movement and are ideal for spaces without access to electrical outlets. Electric brushes, on the other hand, provide constant power, ideal for long and intensive cleaning.
- User-friendliness: The self-propelled push drive and low weight ranging from 3 to 45 kg make these brushes easy to manoeuvre and use. The fixed or foldable/detachable handle also facilitates storage and transport.
- Time saving: The brush width of 19 to 30 cm allows you to cover a large area with each stroke, significantly reducing the time required for cleaning compared to traditional methods.
- Life and maintenance: These devices are built to last. The rotary brushes are made of durable materials that guarantee a long service life. In addition, maintenance is simple with easy replacement of brushes when needed.
Compared to traditional methods such as using brooms or pressure washers, rotary brushes for cleaning external floors offer greater efficiency and less energy. Brooms require considerable physical effort and time to achieve comparable results, while pressure washers consume significant amounts of water and can damage sensitive surfaces. Rotary brushes are therefore a practical, environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to keep your external surfaces clean and in perfect condition.

FAQ
1. Is it necessary to connect the rotary outdoor floor brush to water?
Yes, connecting the rotating brush to water is often necessary for optimal results. Rotary brushes for outdoor floors are designed to remove mud and encrusted debris from surfaces. The use of water increases cleaning effectiveness due to several factors:
- Combined action: The rotating brush in combination with water can more effectively remove dirt, especially encrusted dirt. Water softens impurities and makes them easy to remove.
- Dust reduction: Water helps reduce dust raised during cleaning, making the environment healthier.
- Lubrication: The water lubricates the surface, reducing friction and improving brush gliding, preventing damage to delicate surfaces.
- Efficiency Pressurised water such as that supplied by a hose connected to the brush can penetrate crevices and hard-to-reach corners, ensuring even cleaning.
Some models of rotary brushes have a quick coupling for the water hose, facilitating use and installation.
2. How do I clean the external floors of courtyards terraces and uneven surfaces?
