The Tennant CS16 — The Micro Scrubber That Gets Into the Spaces No Other Machine Can Reach
The Tennant CS16 is a battery-powered micro scrubber designed for the tight, awkward spaces that defeat every other floor cleaning machine — under changeroom benches, around toilet bases and shower fixtures, between gym equipment, in narrow corridors, and along skirting boards where a full-size walk-behind scrubber simply can't go. With a 350mm cleaning path, a low-profile design, and a fully adjustable handle that folds for storage, the CS16 scrubs floors that would otherwise get mopped — and does it properly, leaving them clean and dry rather than just wet and pushed around.
For sports clubs and community facilities, the CS16 fills the gap that every other machine in the cleaning kit leaves open. It's not a replacement for a walk-behind scrubber — it's the machine that handles everything the scrubber can't reach, and does it with proper scrubbing action, a 3-stage vacuum motor, and a parabolic squeegee that leaves floors dry and safe immediately after cleaning.
The Tennant CS16 micro scrubber — compact enough for tight spaces, powerful enough to replace the mop.

Sports Clubs with Changerooms and Bathroom AreasUnder benches, around toilet bases, between shower cubicles — these are the areas that get neglected because no standard scrubber fits. The CS16 gets in, scrubs properly, and leaves those surfaces clean rather than just wiped over with a mop that spreads bacteria around.
Facilities with Narrow Corridors and Tight Access AreasCorridors, storeroom entries, kitchen areas, and access passages that are too narrow for a standard walk-behind scrubber. The CS16's low-profile design and 350mm cleaning path navigate these spaces easily.
Clubs and Schools Replacing the Mop in Smaller SpacesA mop and bucket spreads dirty water across a surface and calls it clean. The CS16 scrubs with fresh solution and picks up the dirty water in a separate 16.5L recovery tank — an actual clean rather than a reorganisation of dirt.
Facilities That Already Have a Large Scrubber and Need the Tight-Space SolutionThe CS16 is not a replacement for a walk-behind or ride-on scrubber — it's the machine that handles every corner, bathroom, and tight space the larger machine can't reach. Together they cover the entire facility without gaps.
Smaller Venues and Clubrooms Without Space for a Full-Size MachineFor smaller clubs where a large walk-behind scrubber isn't practical or affordable, the CS16 delivers genuine scrubbing performance in a machine that stores in a cupboard and costs a fraction of the price.

Gets into spaces no other scrubber can reachAt 350mm wide with a low-profile body and adjustable handle, the CS16 fits under benches, around fixtures, into bathroom stalls, and through narrow access areas that every other floor scrubber has to skip. Those are the dirtiest, highest-bacteria areas in any sports facility.
Replaces the mop with a proper scrubThe CS16 scrubs with clean solution and recovers dirty water in a separate tank — leaving floors genuinely clean and dry. A mop and bucket doesn't come close to that standard, particularly in changerooms where bacteria and odour build up on floors over time.
Eco Mode — up to 70 minutes runtime, quieter operationStandard mode gives 60 minutes of runtime. Eco Mode extends that to 70 minutes and reduces noise — useful for cleaning during operating hours or in noise-sensitive environments without disrupting activity nearby.
No-tools brush change — fast, simple maintenanceThe CS16's no-touch brush change system requires no tools and no disassembly — brushes swap out quickly so maintenance doesn't become a job in itself. Simple enough for any volunteer or casual staff member to handle.
3-stage vacuum motor — floors left dry immediatelyThe parabolic squeegee tracks the movement of the machine for complete water recovery — including through turns. Floors are dry and safe for foot traffic as soon as the CS16 passes through.
Adjustable handle folds flat — stores anywhereThe fully adjustable handle accommodates operators of any height and folds down for compact storage in a cupboard or storeroom. For clubs with limited storage space, this matters — it doesn't need a dedicated equipment room.

Grant Funding — Could This Be Covered?

What makes the CS16 different from a standard walk-behind floor scrubber?
Size and access. The CS16 is a micro scrubber — at 350mm wide with a low-profile body it gets under benches, into bathroom stalls, around fixtures, and through narrow corridors that a standard walk-behind scrubber can't access. It's not designed to replace a larger machine — it's designed to cover the spaces a larger machine leaves behind.
Is the CS16 better than a mop and bucket?
Significantly. A mop and bucket uses dirty water that gets progressively dirtier with each pass, spreading bacteria across the floor rather than removing it. The CS16 scrubs with clean solution from a dedicated 15L tank and recovers dirty water into a separate 16.5L recovery tank — leaving floors genuinely clean and dry.
How long does the battery last?
60 minutes in standard mode, 70 minutes in Eco Mode. For most changeroom and tight-space cleans that's sufficient for a full session. A lithium-ion battery option is also available for faster recharge times if needed.
Do I need the CS16 if I already have a walk-behind scrubber?
Yes — if your facility has changerooms, bathrooms, or tight access areas. A walk-behind scrubber handles open floors efficiently, but it physically cannot reach the areas the CS16 is built for. Together they cover the entire facility. Without the CS16, those tight spaces either get mopped or don't get properly cleaned at all.
Can volunteers and casual staff operate it?
Yes. The CS16 has simple controls and a no-tools brush change system. It operates like a walk-behind vacuum with a scrubbing function — straightforward enough for anyone to use confidently from the first session. Club Captain also provides a free volunteer quick-start guide with every purchase.
Where does it store when not in use?
The adjustable handle folds flat making the CS16 compact enough to store in a cupboard or small storeroom. It doesn't need a dedicated equipment room or large storage space.
Can schools use a purchase order?
Yes. We accept school purchase orders and provide itemised quotes formatted for principal or business manager approval. Request a Quote →

Complete Your Facility Clean
The CS16 handles your changerooms, bathrooms, and tight access areas. For wet spills and liquid cleanup in those same spaces, pair it with the Tennant V-WD-62 Wet and Dry Vacuum. If your facility also has larger open floors — gyms, halls, or courts — the Tennant T260 Walk-Behind Floor Scrubber covers those efficiently.
