The Mercury Cleanmaster TS-17 is a dual-speed 17-inch floor machine built for crews that need one machine to both scrub and polish. A flip of the speed switch takes it from 175 RPM for aggressive scrubbing and shampooing to 300 RPM for spray buffing and high-shine polishing, so a single unit covers daily floor maintenance across schools, hospitals, retail, and office buildings.
Operators get the durability of an all-metal chassis paired with polished, reinforced aprons that wipe clean and resist denting, while a safety-enhanced interlock switch and non-conductive dual triggers on the handle keep both hands in control and reduce shock risk. The extra chassis weight translates directly into more brush-to-floor pressure, so the machine cuts through built-up finish and ground-in soil in fewer passes. A B/92-style clutch plate makes swapping between a scrub brush, a pad driver, and a shampoo brush a quick job, and the fully adjustable 48-inch handle suits operators of different heights. For a maintenance crew that has to scrub Monday and burnish Friday, having both jobs in one rugged machine simplifies the equipment closet and lowers the total cost of keeping floors looking new.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the 175 and 300 RPM settings?
175 RPM is the scrubbing and shampooing speed where you want torque and brush agitation, while 300 RPM is the buffing and polishing speed for bringing up a shine. A switch on the side of the motor toggles between them.
What size brush or pad should I use?
Use a brush about 2 inches smaller than the apron size and a pad with pad driver about 1 inch smaller than the apron. On a 17-inch machine that means a 15-inch brush and a 16-inch pad driver.
Why a DC-rectified motor?
The precision-balanced 1.5 HP DC-rectified motor on a heavy 66-frame eliminates the brownouts, low-voltage drops, and startup-torque problems common with lighter machines, which means more consistent performance on long jobs.
Can it run on a standard outlet?
Yes. The TS-17 includes a 50-foot 14/3-gauge power cord and runs on a standard 120V circuit, so no special hookup is required.
