Every government building is cleaned by someone, and that work runs on commercial equipment: ride-on and walk-behind floor scrubbers, buffers and polishers, carpet extractors, wet/dry vacuums, cleaning trolleys, and bulk consumable stock. When a custodial contract ends or a building closes, that equipment is auctioned, often lightly used and always built for daily commercial duty. It is a standing supply line for cleaning contractors and facilities managers. Browse current listings below.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What janitorial equipment is sold at government auctions?
- Floor care dominates: walk-behind and ride-on scrubbers, buffers and polishers, burnishers, and carpet extractors. Also wet/dry and backpack vacuums, cleaning trolleys and mop systems, waste receptacles, hand dryers, and pallet lots of consumables such as paper goods and sanitiser.
- Is used commercial floor equipment reliable?
- Commercial scrubbers and buffers are built to be rebuilt, and parts are widely available for the major brands, so a used machine with a known model number is a reasonable buy. The two things that decide value are battery condition on cordless scrubbers, which is often the single most expensive component, and whether the brushes and pads are included.
- Who buys surplus janitorial equipment?
- Mostly cleaning contractors, small facilities operators, schools and churches buying outside a procurement cycle, and resellers. A machine that costs several thousand new regularly clears at a small fraction of that, which is what makes the category work for small operators.
