Janitor can use the floor buffer to clean the floor pretty easily, but the buffer is more often then not a nuisicane that's likely to get them assualted.
Give it a buff off button so that when you're riding it around you're not wasting water or causing people to hate you.
Namely because the floor buffer is more often than not a reason to beat up the janitor, because space cleaner spray bottles cause less violence.

It would be nice, though you can just drag it around when you don't want to wet floors for now.

I'm okay with dragging, but speaking as a frequent Janitor I can't even begin to describe how much more helpful it would be to just toggle the buffer on and off while riding it. It's not very fun to always climb on and off when you want to clean, especially when every crewman and their mother is trying to steal the buffer from you. A toggle kinda like the flashlight would be amazing.

Smart gameplay thing a off switch would allow for.
Lights on the buffer:
flashing caution Lights on means: Walk you idiots, Janitor is cleaning.
flashing caution lights off means: Buffer's spray is off, don't assault the janitor on sight.
Also on that note for cool game-play suggestions, a "fuel" lodge on the UI that shows how much of a chemical is left in the tank before the buffer is emptied when clicked on might be neat.
Make being a janitor easier when the janitor is being careful not to be a jerk, or at least alert the crew that janitor is being psychotic.
As a thing for traitor janitor/nasty crewmen, screw driver + wirecutters/multitool would allow them to short the lights and hide the fact that the sprayer is on, or disable the sprayer or buffer entirely for sabotage, e.g cut all the wires so janitor can't drive and then screw it back on.

If the buffer does get some buttons, it would be nice if you could load up the floor signs and have a button to deploy them.

We need a UI button just like you have for sirens for segways to turn the buffing feature on or off. It would also be great if there was a better indicator of when the tank was full or empty, I find trying to fill it a guessing game.
