If you are in charge of the janitorial staff at your local school, then you may be looking at buying a new floor buffing machine. Buffed floors have many benefits. They give the floor a clean and shiny appearance, they protect it from scratches and dings, and they reduce the appearance of scrapes and other types of flaws. While you may already understand that buffing is important, you may have no idea about how to purchase the right floor buffer.
