The BR 16/3 can be used on any hard floor surface, penetrating hard-to-clean floors due to increased contract pressure. Doing an excellent job on vinyl tile, the unit also excels on rubber, ceramic, paver brick, and other architectural or porous flooring surfaces that standard floor machines struggle to clean. Simply add the appropriate brush or pad to clean any hard surface, or add an optional carpet brush or squeegee to clean carpeted floors!
