Businesses That Can Benefit from a Vacmaster® Wet/Dry Vac

When you think of a wet/dry vac, the first industries that might come to mind are woodworking shops or contractor work sites. It’s true, they are an essential tool for cleaning up sawdust, debris, and heavy-duty messes. But their use stretches far beyond just sawdust and drywall scraps. Businesses in a variety of industries—from pet grooming to restaurants—can unlock their full potential with the right wet/dry vac.

Here are five types of businesses that could benefit from a shop vacuum to boost efficiency, cleanliness, and professionalism.

1. Pet Grooming Services

Anyone who’s worked in pet grooming knows just how messy the job can get. Between piles of fur, water overspray from rinsing, and the occasional muddy paw print, keeping the space clean can be a challenge. That’s where a wet/dry shop vac shines.

• Why It Works: Wet/dry vacs can handle both fur (including tangled clumps left behind by scissors or clippers) and liquid messes simultaneously. Use it to clean up spilled shampoo, water, and even pet hair from tough-to-reach spaces.
• Bonus Use: Our 8-gallon* 3-in-1 wet/dry/upholstery shampoo vacuum includes 15 accessories perfect for cleaning carpets and upholstery, so you can easily clean pet grooming tables and any seating in your waiting area.

2. Laundromats

Laundromats do more than just clean clothes. They’re also constantly exposed to spilled detergents, overflowing washing machines, and lint buildup that can create dusty, slippery, or hazardous conditions.

• Why it works: Wet/dry vacs are the perfect solution for tackling detergent puddles, eliminating lint in hard-to-reach corners, and unclogging blocked drains.
• Bonus Use: Our 14-gallon* Beast Series™ wet/dry vacuum is the ultimate solution for conquering any liquid mess with ease and efficiency. Equipped with a large drain port, this shop vac allows for quick and effortless emptying so you can get back to what matters most. In addition, maneuverability is a breeze thanks to the padded push handle, designed for comfort and ease of use when navigating large spaces.

3. Restaurants

Restaurant owners know that spills and messes are just part of the daily hustle. From spilled drinks in the front-of-house to kitchen grease and food debris in the back, maintaining cleanliness is critical for both customer satisfaction and health code compliance.

• Why it Works: Wet/dry vacs can handle everything from sticky liquid mishaps to dry crumbs that settle beneath tables and counters. They’re also excellent for cleaning kitchen areas, where regular vacuums may not withstand grease or food debris.
• Bonus Use: Our 12-gallon* Beast Series™ wet/dry vacuum is perfect for tackling larger kitchen and table messes. From broken glass to spilled meals, it’s designed to handle tough cleanup jobs with ease, keeping your workspace safe and hygienic. With 30% more suction^, its high-performance motor effortlessly manages refrigerator malfunctions or flooding incidents, ensuring a quick and efficient recovery.

4. Bed and Breakfasts

Ensuring a clean, welcoming environment is key to a successful B&B. From keeping room carpeting fresh to cleaning up drink spills in shared spaces, maintaining a spotless venue often requires a bit more muscle than a standard vacuum provides.

• Why it Works: A wet/dry vac can clean both damp areas, like bathroom surfaces, and dry messes, like carpeting in the guest rooms. Plus, it’s portable enough to easily move room to room.
• Bonus Use: Our 10-gallon* wet/dry vacuum with a detachable blower can be used for outdoor cleaning, such as removing leaves or debris from porches or patios, creating a charming first impression for guests. Our wet/dry vacs are designed to easily convert into blowers, adding convenience and versatility to your cleaning routine.

5. Fitness Centers and Spas

Fitness centers and spas may not immediately come to mind when you think of wet/dry vacs, but these equipment-heavy businesses can greatly benefit from their versatility. With surfaces ranging from tile to rubber mats and conditions that create constant moisture, cleaning can be a daunting task.

• Why it Works: Tackling heavier duty messes like flooded areas or large debris cleanup is a breeze with a high-capacity wet/dry vac. From managing unexpected water leaks in facility basements to removing construction dust during gym renovations, these machines are equipped to handle even the toughest cleaning challenges with ease.
• Bonus Use: Our 12-gallon* wet/dry vacuum helps make cleaning wet locker rooms or draining clogged tubs in spa facilities quicker and more efficient.
