| Our sport facility is 92,000 square feet and we are looking for a cost-effective and time efficient way to clean our hardwood floors (playing surface). Currently, we manually clean them, but we are looking for a machine to reduce cleaning time at a great price.

Any machine that will save thousands of man-hours each year will be purchased at a “great price” even if it costs thousands of dollars. Mopping 92,000 sq. ft. of flooring will take 15 man-hours. A 34” autoscrubber will do the same area in about 3 hours.
Use those numbers to determine the annual time expenditure for each operation and compare the savings. That is what you have each year to apply to the cost of the machine. How many years of saving will it take to pay for the machine? After that it is all money in the bank.
Talk to your janitorial supplier about your needs. Also, a few minutes searching the Internet will show you some of what is available for your application, be it sweeping, scrubbing, or buffing.
