Key Benefits of the i-mop XL
Advanced Cleaning Technology
The i-mop XL's dual counter-rotating brush system sets a new standard in floor cleaning efficiency. These brushes work in tandem to deliver a deep, thorough clean that surpasses traditional mopping methods. The system's design ensures consistent contact with the floor surface, reaching areas that conventional cleaning equipment might miss.
Precision Edge Cleaning
One of the most remarkable features of the i-mop XL is its ability to clean right up to edges and under obstacles. This eliminates the need for additional manual scrubbing in hard-to-reach areas, saving time and ensuring consistent cleaning results throughout the facility.
Eco-Friendly Operation
The i-mop XL demonstrates environmental consciousness through its efficient use of water and cleaning chemicals. The system's precise control over resource usage not only reduces waste but also promotes faster drying times, minimising slip hazards and allowing for immediate foot traffic in cleaned areas.
Innovative i-dose® System
The integrated i-dose® system represents a significant advancement in cleaning solution management. Using concentrated cleaning pods, this system eliminates guesswork and waste in detergent application. The pod-based approach ensures consistent cleaning solution strength while minimizing environmental impact through reduced packaging and transport requirements.
Hygiene-Focused Design
The i-mop XL features antibacterial tanks that achieve a bacterial reduction rate of ≥99.99%. This exceptional hygiene standard not only protects operators but also helps eliminate unpleasant odors that can develop in cleaning equipment. The antibacterial properties ensure that the machine itself doesn't become a source of contamination.
Ergonomic Operation
Understanding the physical demands of cleaning operations, the i-mop XL incorporates several ergonomic features. The drive and park support system allows operators to maneuver the machine with minimal effort. The ability to park the machine without lifting the deck reduces physical strain and prevents potential workplace injuries.
We’ve put together an article on how floor scrubbers work for some more information, you can take a look at that here .
Intended Use of the i-mop XL
The i-mop XL is specifically designed for scrubbing floors. It works best with water-based scrubbing detergents, and you’ll find that it’s versatile for different cleaning needs. The cap for the solution tank and lockers for the brushes are color-coded in HACCP-approved colors (blue, green, red, yellow, and orange), which is handy when you need to use different cleaning solutions for different areas.
For example, you might use one color set for a kitchen area and another for a dining area to prevent cross contamination. It’s essential to make sure that the solution tank and brush are always the same color to avoid cross-contamination.

Non-Recommended Use of the i-mop XL
While the i-mop XL is designed to tackle many floor cleaning tasks, there are a few important things to keep in mind to ensure your safety and maintain the machine’s warranty:
- Never use the i-mop XL near flammable materials like gasoline or oil, or on floors with dangerous chemicals or vapors.
- Stick to water-based cleaning solutions and avoid using flammable or corrosive detergents
- Make sure the water temperature doesn’t exceed 113°F (45°C) as anything hotter could damage the tank.
- Avoid using cleaning solutions that are too acidic or alkaline, with a pH level below 3 or above 11.
- Never use the i-mop XL over electrical outlets to prevent the risk of electrical shock.
- And importantly, never carry passengers on top of the i-mop XL or use it as a step-ladder.
- Always store the i-mop XL in a dry, sheltered space to protect its electronic components from the elements.
- Only use parts supplied by the manufacturer for maintenance.
Lifespan and Maintenance
The i-mop XL is built to last. It demonstrates exceptional durability with a operational lifespan of at least 7 years. With proper maintenance and care, users can expect to extend the machine's service life beyond 10 years, making it a long-term investment in your facility's cleaning infrastructure. This industry-leading longevity reflects the i-mop XL's build quality and reliability, ensuring a strong return on investment.
The lifespan of the i-mop XL's brushes and squeegee blades depends largely on the surfaces being cleaned, with rougher surfaces naturally causing more wear. Regular inspection of these components is key to maintaining optimal cleaning performance. To ensure long-term reliability and safety, we recommend having your i-mop XL serviced by an authorized i-team partner every 500 operational hours. This professional maintenance schedule helps preserve the machine's efficiency and extends its service life.
