The Intelligent Design X-Scrub Pro is a battery micro floor scrubber built for the floors a full-size walk-behind cannot get to: restrooms, kitchen lines, entryways, elevator lobbies, aisles between fixed equipment. At 53 pounds with an 18-inch cleaning path, one person moves it in and out of a service elevator and scrubs a restroom in the time it takes to fill a mop bucket.
The argument for a machine like this is not speed on open floor. It is that mopping small, high-traffic, textured floors does not work. A mop pushes soil into grout and leaves the floor wet. The X-Scrub Pro scrubs with 55 pounds of brush pressure and picks the water back up behind a 19-inch squeegee, so the floor is clean and walkable rather than clean-looking and slick.
Built for
- Restrooms and locker rooms, where textured tile and grout hold soil a mop cannot lift
- Commercial kitchen and food-service floors with safety texture and grease
- Entryways, vestibules and elevator lobbies that see the day's grit first
- Retail and convenience store aisles too narrow for a 26-inch walk-behind
- Schools, clinics and offices where a quiet, cord-free machine can run during occupied hours
Two floating brushes, and why that matters on real floors
The X-Scrub Pro runs two brushes on individual floating platforms that adjust independently to whatever the floor is doing. Quarry tile in a kitchen is not flat. Twenty-year-old sealed concrete is not flat. A single rigid disc bridges the low spots and walks past them; two floating heads drop into them. Combined with 55 pounds of brush pressure and 0 to 370 rpm brush speed, that is what gets soil out of a grout line rather than polishing the tile around it.
The magnetic hub is the other detail crews notice. Brushes and pads change by hand, without tools and without turning the machine over, so an operator will actually switch to a pad for a finished floor instead of scrubbing everything with the brushes that happen to be mounted.

Frequently asked questions
How much floor can one battery charge actually cover?
Intelligent Design rates the 10.4 AH pack at about 60 minutes of working time and the machine at roughly 20,000 square feet per hour of productivity. In practice that is a shift's worth of restroom, kitchen and entry work, not a full warehouse; run time falls when brush pressure is fighting heavy soil.
Why two brushes instead of one disc?
Two counter-rotating brushes on individual floating platforms follow an uneven floor independently. A single rigid disc bridges dips and low grout lines and skips them. On quarry tile, safety-textured kitchen floor and worn concrete the twin floating design is what keeps all 55 pounds of brush pressure on the surface.
Can it run pads instead of brushes?
Yes. The magnetic hub lets you pull a brush and set a pad driver in place without tools, which is the difference between changing over between rooms and not bothering. The machine ships with black medium brushes.
Is 18 inches wide enough to be worth it over a mop?
For the spaces this machine is aimed at, yes. An 18-inch path with 55 pounds of brush pressure and a 19-inch squeegee leaves a floor that is scrubbed and picked up dry, where a mop redistributes soil and leaves a wet floor behind. The point of a micro-scrubber is reaching places a rider or a 26-inch walk-behind cannot.
What comes in the box?
Battery, charger, black medium brushes and the external charger adaptor. Part number 130000004.
