For commercial facilities it can be very beneficial to get a sweeper. Sweepers handle indoor and outdoor cleaning and are often more effective than vacuums, leaf blowers, or the traditional dustpan method. But what type of sweeper is right. One of the major drawbacks of an upright sweeper is that it has a smaller capacity and smaller cleaning path. This means multiple passes in the same areas and more frequent stops to empty the bin and start over. However, this also means it easier to use the sweeper in more compact spaces. For a business that has tight corners, low furniture, or complex room geometry, an upright sweeper might provide the maneuverability you need. But if you are trying to clean a larger facility that has a lot of open rooms, a bigger walk-behind sweeper is going to be the more effective option.
