floor polisher

Rotating wax applicator

A floor polisher is a machine that buffs and shines hard floor surfaces like wood, tile, or linoleum.

It typically has rotating pads or brushes underneath and is either pushed by hand or operated as a ride-on unit in commercial settings.

The term also refers to the person operating such a machine: The floor polisher comes every Thursday night after the office closes.
