20 SQUEEGEE SELECTION GUIDE The GeneSys™ Mid-Size Scrubber comes standard with Linatex ® squeegee blade material. This has been proven to be a very versatile, high performance material across multiple flooring types. As an option, sold separately, the GeneSys™ can be equipped with Primothane ® urethane squeegee blades. Both blades utilize the patented Airoflex ® design that increases vacuum performance by up to 40%. The Airoflex design features the Airoflex valves along the squeegee blade edge, which flex open when on smooth floors and close on porous or grouted tile floors to increase vacuum performance. NOTE: If cleaning and recovering petroleum or organic based oils, choose Primothane ® regardless of floor surface.
