How To Eliminate Odors From An Auto Scrubber Tank: 9 Steps

Auto scrubbers are valuable in speeding up the process of cleaning the floors in your building.

Unfortunately, while using a floor scrubber, you may have noticed a bad odor coming from the machine. When this happens, it may be difficult to know exactly what’s causing it or how to fix it.

In most cases, malodors are coming from the recovery tank.

Foul odors in your auto scrubber tank are a sign that something may be wrong or your machine may need cleaning.

您可以在每次使用后避免自动地板洗涤器中的气味。

常规机器维护不仅减少了气味和模具或霉菌的可能性，而且有助于让您的机器保持在延长寿命的峰值操作条件下。

在本文和视频中，我们将讨论如何在汽车洗涤器恢复罐中避免污垢，以及如果您注意到它们，如何摆脱气味。

什么导致自动洗涤罐气味？

汽车洗涤器坦克气味可以由各种各样的东西引起。汽车洗涤器罐可能闻到的最常见原因是维护不当。

There are many parts of an automatic floor scrubber, so when you notice an odor, it could be difficult to identify where it’s coming from.

自动洗涤器恢复罐通常是臭味的最大原因。

Equipped with two tanks, a clean solution tank and a recovery tank, auto scrubbers are able to clean floors in just one pass.

The clean solution tank is filled with cleaning chemicals that are deposited onto the floor. The recovery tank collects slurry, which is a combination of water, solution, and soils, as the auto scrubber cleans the floor.

This slurry contains dirt, bacteria, and other contaminants that can lead to mold and mildew growth if not removed from the tank.

If you do not fully empty your recovery tank before storing your machine, this slurry will develop into a sludge-like buildup.

Once this mixture dries, it can harden, making it difficult for your staff to clean the tank. If this happens, odor-causing bacteria can grow and lead to unpleasant smells coming from your automatic floor scrubber.

Recovery tanks MUST be rinsed and dried after every use to确保除去所有土壤和污染物。

当您的自动洗涤器没有排出时，使用后冲洗并干燥，恢复罐中的细菌会有更高的机会。

The presence of bacteria leads to the growth of mold and mildew that ultimately causes odors.

回收罐应盖住盖子，打开允许气流。Airflow to your recovery tank after rinsing lets any remaining moisture dry up completely between uses, greatly reducing the risk of foul smells.

In the event that your floor scrubber’s recovery tank develops a foul odor, you’ll need to thoroughly clean your auto scrubber tank.

这包括清空，冲洗，清洁和彻底干燥罐。

有时你会注意到液体或其他颗粒被留下。通常，这是因为使用后坦克未彻底清空或清洁。

这种液体或残留物堆积是可能导致气味的原因。

If you see liquid or other contaminants, you’ll need to empty the recovery tank.

Depending on the type of machine you have, there may be a drain that can be used to empty your machine into a mop bucket, sink, or floor drain.

第二步:清洗恢复

坦克完全耗尽后，您需要用清水冲洗罐。

为此，请使用软管冲洗罐中的任何污垢和碎屑。排出任何用于冲洗污染物的水的罐。

Now, that you have emptied and rinsed the tank, you can begin the odor removal process. It’s important that the recovery tank has been emptied and rinsed thoroughly before using an odor digester.

Odor digesters are a bio-enzymatic cleaning product.Bio-enzymatic odor digesters通过生产消化“坏”细菌的酶来渗透和去除恶臭。

您需要的气味蒸煮量取决于您的自动洗涤器罐的大小。由于您在恢复罐中使用水稀释了气味蒸煮器，因此您应该务必在适量的产品中混合。

Make sure to check the label for dilution instructions.

步骤5：让混合物静置1-2小时

应该允许蒸气蒸煮器坐1-2小时。这种停留时间允许细菌分解并消除罐中的气味细菌。

With proper care, you can avoid having to deep clean your auto scrubber often. Rinsing and drying your floor scrubber’s recovery tank only adds 5 minutes to your and your staff’s daily maintenance routine, reducing the frequency your staff will need to clean the tank (to remove odors).

Step 6: Fully Drain The Recovery Tank

This will allow you to make sure that the odor has been fully eliminated from the tank.

第7步：彻底冲洗任何过量产品

To rinse your auto scrubber recovery tank after using an odor digester, you should use a hose.

This will allow you to rinse off every part of the recovery tank, including the debris tray.

Step 8: Let Fully Dry

完全允许您的坦克干燥可降低引起气味细菌，霉菌和霉菌生长的风险。

Step 9: Leave Tank Lid Open

Recovery Tank 完成此过程后，将坦克盖开启最大，并持续的气流。

完成以下每个步骤后，如果正常完成，在自动洗涤器罐中仍然没有剩余气味。

If you notice there is still a remaining odor, the odor may not be coming from the recovery tank of your floor scrubber. You could check your clean solution tank which could have old chemical and water in the tank. Drain and rinse this tank before using.

最后的想法

Auto scrubber tank odors are most commonly caused because your machine is not being maintained correctly.

Your auto scrubber recovery tank should be properly emptied, rinsed, dried and stored with the lid open between uses. This ensures that your auto scrubber doesn’t grow bacteria or mold that could cause the presence of malodors.

冲洗康复罐确保坦克中没有剩余的污垢。允许您的自动洗涤器回收罐在用途之间干燥，从而降低了导致气味细菌生长的可能性。

为了摆脱康复罐中的气味，你应该使用气味蒸煮器。气味消化器分解了导致恶臭在坦克中的细菌中的细菌，以便您可以去除气味。
