Drop the mop and experience a revolutionary approach to small-space floor cleaning with the Tennant CS5 Micro-Scrubber. This innovative 21st century scrubber eliminates the challenges and limitations of traditional mop-and-bucket cleaning, delivering genuinely clean, dry floors in spaces where mechanised cleaning was never possible before.
Where mopping pushes around dirty water and leaves floors slick and hazardous, the CS5's separate solution and recovery tanks deliver fresh cleaning solution for scrubbing whilst effectively recovering used water. The result? Cleaner floors that dry immediately, reducing slip-and-fall risks whilst achieving the sanitary results that mopping simply cannot match. At just 20kg with exceptional manoeuvrability, the CS5 brings professional floor scrubbing to restrooms, small offices, retail back rooms, treatment areas, and confined spaces throughout your facility.
The ultra-compact 280mm cleaning path fits where larger equipment cannot, whilst the lightweight lithium-ion battery provides up to 75 minutes of runtime without cords limiting your reach. The innovative two-squeegee design cleans effectively in both forward and reverse motions, and the movable handle operates under obstacles and adapts for transport and storage. This is floor care reimagined for the modern facility.
Superior Performance That Transforms Small-Space Cleaning
The CS5 represents Tennant's solution to one of commercial cleaning's most persistent challenges: how to bring effective, sanitary floor scrubbing to the tight spaces, small rooms, and confined areas that comprise significant portions of most facilities. The result is a micro-scrubber that delivers professional results whilst being lighter, more manoeuvrable, and easier to use than any floor scrubber you've experienced before.
Maintain Health & Safety
Protecting the health and safety of staff and visitors extends beyond just clean floors—it encompasses slip-and-fall prevention, ergonomic equipment design, and genuinely sanitary cleaning practices. The CS5 excels across all these critical dimensions.
Get better control over dirt and germs by eliminating the dirty mop water problem that undermines traditional floor cleaning. Mopping spreads contaminated water across floors, redistributing bacteria and soil rather than removing them. The CS5's separate 5-litre solution and recovery tanks ensure you're always scrubbing with clean water whilst capturing dirty water for proper disposal. This fundamental improvement delivers genuinely sanitary cleaning rather than the illusion of cleanliness.
Reduce slip-and-fall risk dramatically with effective water recovery that leaves floors immediately dry and safe for foot traffic. Traditional mopping leaves floors wet and hazardous for extended periods—creating liability exposure and forcing disruptive closures whilst floors dry. The CS5's efficient squeegee system recovers water thoroughly, allowing immediate return to service whilst virtually eliminating the slip hazards that mopping creates.
Improve ergonomics, employee health, and job satisfaction with motorised brush agitation that eliminates the physical strain of traditional mopping. Repetitive mopping motions cause back strain, shoulder injuries, and cumulative trauma that affects employee wellbeing and creates workers' compensation costs. The CS5's mechanised scrubbing puts the work on the machine rather than the operator, dramatically reducing physical strain whilst improving cleaning effectiveness. Staff appreciate equipment that makes their jobs easier and less physically demanding.
The whisper-quiet operation at just 63 dBA makes the CS5 one of the quietest floor scrubbers available—suitable for daytime cleaning in occupied spaces without disrupting normal operations. Clean during business hours, between appointments, or whenever needed without the noise that drives customers away or interferes with work, patient care, or classroom instruction.
Easy Operation & Maintenance
Equipment that's complicated to operate or maintain sits idle instead of cleaning floors. The CS5's thoughtful design ensures maximum productive uptime with minimal hassle or complexity.
Maximise machine uptime with a simple yet effective design that allows easy maintenance. The straightforward construction uses proven components and accessible design that simplifies both routine care and any necessary service. Removable solution and recovery tanks lift out for thorough cleaning and filling, preventing the bacterial growth and odours that develop in traditional scrubber tanks with restricted access.
Plug in and charge the CS5 at your convenience with its advanced lithium-ion battery technology. Unlike older battery types, lithium-ion batteries charge quickly, don't develop memory effects, and maintain performance throughout their service life. The off-board charger means you don't need to position the entire machine near outlets—simply remove the lightweight battery for charging whilst using a spare battery for continuous operation. Standard batteries provide up to 50 minutes runtime, whilst the optional high-capacity battery extends operation to 75 minutes.
Easily clean hard-to-reach areas with the innovative two-squeegee design that recovers water effectively in both forward and backward motions. Traditional scrubbers require turning around in tight spaces or accepting incomplete water recovery when backing up. The CS5 cleans with equal effectiveness regardless of direction, dramatically improving productivity in confined areas whilst ensuring thorough water recovery that leaves floors dry and safe.
Get more options for transport and storage with the CS5's adjustable, foldable handle. The handle adjusts for operator comfort during cleaning, folds down to just 399mm height for convenient storage or transport in vehicles, and pivots to allow cleaning under tables, fixtures, and obstacles that other scrubbers cannot reach. This versatility makes the CS5 practical for facilities with limited storage space or multi-site operations requiring equipment transport.
Enhance Facility Image
The cleanliness of your floors directly impacts how visitors perceive your facility and organisation. Switching from mop-and-bucket methods to the CS5 delivers visible improvements that create positive impressions.
Get better results with clean water from the separate solution tank. Fresh cleaning solution dissolves and suspends soil effectively, whilst immediate recovery captures contaminated water before it can dry and leave residues. The consistent results look and feel cleaner than mopping, with uniform appearance rather than the streaks and residue that characterise mopped floors.
Clean grout lines between tiles effectively with the scrubbing action of mechanised equipment. Mopping can't generate the mechanical agitation needed to remove embedded soil from textured surfaces and grout lines. The CS5's disc brush spinning at up to 160 RPM with adjustable down pressure to 12kg provides the mechanical action that removes stubborn soil and restores the appearance of tile and grout.
Improve cleanliness whilst using fewer chemicals and less water than traditional mop-and-bucket cleaning. The mechanised scrubbing provides superior soil removal with lower chemical concentrations, reducing costs and environmental impact. The controlled water application and immediate recovery prevent overwetting and the water waste common with mopping. Your floors are cleaner using fewer resources—a sustainability improvement that also reduces operational costs.
The professional appearance of genuinely clean, immediately dry floors tells visitors and staff that you maintain high standards. The visible difference between mopped and mechanically scrubbed floors reinforces your commitment to cleanliness and professionalism.
