Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements for interim reporting. In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 . The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. New Accounting Pronouncements – In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This ASU provides optional expedients to applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the reference rate reform, which affects the London Inter-bank Offered Rate, if certain criteria are met. The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are evaluating whether to apply any of the expedients and/or exceptions. Further details regarding the adoption of new accounting standards are discussed in Note 2. We documented the summary of significant accounting policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 . Other than the accounting policies noted above, there have been no material changes to our accounting policies since the filing of that report.

Accounting Changes and Error Corrections [Abstract]
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Text Block]	2. Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements Financial Instruments On January 1, 2020, we adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments and all related amendments . This ASU improves financial reporting by requiring more timely recording of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by financial institutions and other organizations. Under the new guidance, the ASU requires an organization to measure all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable supportable forecasts. We evaluated the impact of this amended guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and concluded that it is immaterial. We estimate an allowance for doubtful accounts using a loss rate method. We considered the following in determining the expected loss rate: (1) historical loss rate, (2) macroeconomic factors, and (3) creditworthiness of customers. The historical loss rate is calculated by taking the yearly write-off expense, net of collections, as a percentage of the annual average balance of trade receivables for each of the past three years. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts: December 31, 2019 balance $ 3.6 Charged to costs and expenses 0.3 Deductions (a) (0.3 ) March 31, 2020 balance $ 3.6 (a) Includes accounts determined to be uncollectible and charged against reserves.

Revenue Disaggregation of Revenue The following tables illustrate the disaggregation of revenue by geographic area, groups of similar products and services and sales channels for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 : Net Sales by geographic area Three Months Ended March 31 2020 2019 Americas $ 162.6 $ 160.8 Europe, Middle East and Africa 72.0 78.1 Asia Pacific 17.5 23.6 Total $ 252.1 $ 262.5 Net Sales are attributed to each geographic area based on the end user country and are net of intercompany sales. Net Sales by groups of similar products and services Three Months Ended March 31 2020 2019 Equipment $ 154.2 $ 163.0 Parts and Consumables 54.2 55.9 Specialty Surface Coatings 6.1 6.2 Service and Other 37.6 37.4 Total $ 252.1 $ 262.5 Prior year numbers have been updated to conform with current year presentation. Net Sales by sales channel Three Months Ended March 31 2020 2019 Sales Direct to Consumer $ 167.6 $ 172.5 Sales to Distributors 84.5 90.0 Total $ 252.1 $ 262.5 Contract Liabilities Sales Returns The right of return may exist explicitly or implicitly with our customers. When the right of return exists, we adjust the transaction price for the estimated effect of returns. We estimate the expected returns using the expected value method by assessing historical sales levels and the timing and magnitude of historical sales return levels as a percent of sales and projecting this experience into the future. Sales Incentives Our sales contracts may contain various customer incentives, such as volume-based rebates or other promotions. We reduce the transaction price for certain customer programs and incentive offerings that represent variable consideration. Sales incentives given to our customers are recorded using the most likely amount approach for estimating the amount of consideration to which the Company will be entitled. We forecast the most likely amount of the incentive to be paid at the time of sale, update this forecast quarterly, and adjust the transaction price accordingly to reflect the new amount of incentives expected to be earned by the customer. A majority of our customer incentives are settled within one year. We record our accruals for volume-based rebates and other promotions in Other Current Liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in our sales incentive accrual balance for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31 2020 2019 Beginning balance $ 13.7 $ 16.7 Additions to sales incentive accrual 5.4 6.5 Contract payments (8.2 ) (12.6 ) Foreign currency fluctuations (0.2 ) — Ending balance $ 10.7 $ 10.6 Deferred Revenue We sell separately priced prepaid contracts to our customers where we receive payment at the inception of the contract and defer recognition of the consideration received because we have to satisfy future performance obligations. Our deferred revenue balance is primarily attributed to prepaid maintenance contracts on our machines ranging from 12 months to 60 months . In circumstances where prepaid contracts are bundled with machines, we use an observable price to determine stand-alone selling price for separate performance obligations. The change in the deferred revenue balance for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was as follows: Three Months Ended March 31 2020 2019 Beginning balance $ 10.7 $ 8.5 Increase in deferred revenue representing our obligation to satisfy future performance obligations 2.7 3.8 Deferred revenue addition from the acquisition of Gaomei — 1.4 Decrease in deferred revenue for amounts recognized in Net Sales for satisfied performance obligations (2.5 ) (3.1 ) Foreign currency fluctuations (0.1 ) — Ending balance $ 10.8 $ 10.6 At March 31, 2020 , $6.9 million and $3.9 million of deferred revenue was reported in Other Current Liabilities and Other Liabilities, respectively, on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Of this, we expect to recognize the following approximate amounts in Net Sales in the following periods: Remaining 2020 $ 6.2 2021 2.3 2022 1.4 2023 0.6 2024 0.3 Thereafter — Total $ 10.8 At December 31, 2019 , $6.8 million and $3.9 million

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Management Actions	4. Management Actions Restructuring Actions In March 2020, we implemented a restructuring action in an effort to streamline our operating model in Japan. The pre-tax charge of $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2020 consisted of severance and was included in Selling and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We expect to incur up to $2 million of costs related to this restructuring. The charge impacted our Asia Pacific (APAC) operating segment. We estimate the savings will offset the pre-tax charge approximately one year from the date of the action. During 2019, we implemented a restructuring action to further our integration efforts related to the IPC Group. The pre-tax charge of $4.8 million consisting of severance was included, with $0.3 million in Cost of Sales and $4.5 million in Selling and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The charge impacted our Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) as well as our Americas operating segments. We expect no further charges related to this restructuring action. We estimate the savings have offset the pre-tax charges incurred to date. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability balances is as follows: Severance and Related Costs December 31, 2018 balance $ 2.2 2019 charges and utilization: New charges 6.1 Cash payments (2.5 ) Adjustments to accrual (1.3 ) December 31, 2019 balance $ 4.5 2020 charges and utilization: New charges 0.8 Cash payments (0.9 ) March 31, 2020 balance $ 4.4 Other Actions In 2019, we made the decision to discontinue certain product lines. During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded an additional $1.7 million

Acquisitions	5. Acquisition On January 4, 2019, we completed the acquisition of Hefei Gaomei Cleaning Machines Co., Ltd. and Anhui Rongen Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd. (collectively "Gaomei") , privately held designers and manufacturers of commercial cleaning solutions based in China. The financial results for Gaomei have been included in the consolidated financial results since the date of closing. The following table summarizes the fair value measurements of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition: ASSETS Current Assets $ 8.5 Intangible Assets Subject to Amortization: Trade Name 1.8 Customer Lists 13.9 Other Assets 1.3 Total Identifiable Assets Acquired 25.5 LIABILITIES Current Liabilities (8.0 ) Long-Term Liabilities (6.0 ) Total Identifiable Liabilities Assumed (14.0 ) Goodwill 15.6 Total Purchase Price $ 27.1 The fair value measurements were final as of December 31, 2019. The total purchase price includes the following: • $11.3 million was paid during the first quarter of 2019 upon close of the transaction; • $11.3 million which was paid in the fourth quarter of 2019; • $4.7 million which represents the estimated fair value of contingent consideration at the acquisition date. In April 2020, the earnout agreement was modified. The final payment is based on a fixed payment plus variable payments contingent on achieving certain levels of gross profit and achieving integration milestones. Consideration of $1.4 million to $3.1 million will be paid in March 2021 if the targets are met. As of March 31, 2020, the contingent consideration had a fair value of $2.1 million based on a probability-weighted analysis of achieving targets; and • $(0.2) million which represents a working capital purchase price adjustment. None of the goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The expected lives of the acquired amortizable intangible assets range from 10 years to 15 years

Product Warranties Disclosures [Abstract]
Warranty	9. Warranty We record a liability for warranty claims at the time of sale. The amount of the liability is based on the trend in the historical ratio of claims to sales, the historical length of time between the sale and resulting warranty claim, new product introductions and other factors. Warranty terms on machines generally range from one to four years . However, the majority of our claims are paid out within the first six to nine months following a sale. The majority of the liability for estimated warranty claims represents amounts to be paid out in the near term for qualified warranty issues, with immaterial amounts reserved to be paid for older equipment warranty issues. The changes in warranty reserves for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows: Three Months Ended March 31 2020 2019 Beginning balance $ 12.7 $ 13.1 Additions charged to expense 2.4 2.5 Foreign currency fluctuations (0.2 ) — Claims paid (3.1 ) (3.0 ) Ending balance $ 11.8 $ 12.6

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block]	10. Derivatives Hedge Accounting and Hedging Programs We recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets and measure them at fair value. Gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value are accounted for depending on the use of the derivative and whether it is designated and qualifies for hedge accounting. We evaluate hedge effectiveness on our hedges that are designated and qualify for hedge accounting at the inception of the hedge prospectively, as well as retrospectively, and record any ineffective portion of the hedging instruments along with the time value of purchased contracts in the same line item of the income statement as the item being hedged on our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. In prior years, ineffective portions of hedging instruments and time value of purchased contracts were recorded in Net Foreign Currency Transaction Losses on our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Our hedging policy establishes maximum limits for each counterparty to mitigate any concentration of risk. Balance Sheet Hedging Hedges of Foreign Currency Assets and Liabilities We hedge our net recognized foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities with foreign exchange forward contracts to reduce the risk that the value of these assets and liabilities will be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates. These contracts hedge assets and liabilities that are denominated in foreign currencies and are carried at fair value as either assets or liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in the fair value recorded to Net Foreign Currency Transaction Losses in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. These contracts do not subject us to material balance sheet risk due to exchange rate movements because gains and losses on these derivatives are intended to offset gains and losses on the assets and liabilities being hedged. At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , the notional amounts of foreign currency forward exchange contracts outstanding not designated as hedging instruments were $46.4 million and $41.9 million , respectively. Cash Flow Hedging Hedges of Forecasted Foreign Currency Transactions In countries outside the U.S., we transact business in U.S. dollars and in various other currencies. We may use foreign exchange option contracts or forward contracts to hedge certain cash flow exposures resulting from changes in these foreign currency exchange rates. These foreign exchange contracts, carried at fair value, have maturities of up to one year . We enter into these foreign exchange contracts to hedge a portion of our forecasted foreign currency denominated revenue in the normal course of business, and accordingly, they are not speculative in nature. The notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges were $3.2 million as of March 31, 2020 and $3.0 million as of December 31, 2019 . The notional amounts of outstanding foreign currency option contracts designated as cash flow hedges were $8.9 million and $9.8 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 , respectively. Foreign Currency Derivatives We use foreign currency exchange rate derivatives to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in exchange rates for anticipated intercompany cash transactions between Tennant Company and its subsidiaries. We entered into Euro to U.S. dollar foreign exchange cross-currency swaps for all of the anticipated cash flows associated with an intercompany loan from a wholly-owned European subsidiary. We enter into these foreign exchange cross-currency swaps to hedge the foreign currency denominated cash flows associated with this intercompany loan, and accordingly, they are not speculative in nature. These cross-currency swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. The hedged cash flows as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 included €165.0 million and €166.8 million of total notional values, respectively. As of March 31, 2020 , the aggregate scheduled interest payments over the course of the loan and related swaps amounted to €15.0 million . The scheduled maturity and principal payment of the loan and related swaps of €150.0 million are due in April 2022. There were no new cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges as of March 31, 2020 . The fair value of derivative instruments on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 was as follows: Derivative Assets Derivative Liabilities Balance Sheet Location March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Balance Sheet Location March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments: Foreign currency option contracts Other Current Assets $ 0.4 $ — Other Current Liabilities $ — $ — Foreign currency option contracts Other Assets — — Other Liabilities — — Foreign currency forward contracts Other Current Assets 2.6 2.5 Other Current Liabilities — — Foreign currency forward contracts Other Assets — — Other Liabilities 5.8 12.6 Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments: Foreign currency forward contracts Other Current Assets 2.4 0.6 Other Current Liabilities 0.1 0.3 Foreign currency forward contracts Other Assets $ — $ — Other Liabilities $ — $ — As of March 31, 2020 , we anticipate reclassifying approximately $2.9 million of gains from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss to net earnings during the next 12 months.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements	3 Months Ended
	Mar. 31, 2020
Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	11. Fair Value Measurements Estimates of fair value for financial assets and financial liabilities are based on the framework established in the accounting guidance for fair value measurements. The framework defines fair value, provides guidance for measuring fair value and requires certain disclosures. The framework discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow) and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). The framework utilizes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The following is a brief description of those three levels: • Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions. Our population of assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements at March 31, 2020 is as follows: Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Foreign currency forward exchange contracts $ 8.1 $ — $ 8.1 $ — Foreign currency options contracts 0.3 — 0.3 — Total Assets $ 8.4 $ — $ 8.4 $ — Liabilities: Foreign currency forward exchange contracts $ 8.9 $ — $ 8.9 $ — Contingent consideration 2.1 — — 2.1 Total Liabilities $ 11.0 $ — $ 8.9 $ 2.1 Our population of assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements at December 31, 2019 is as follows: Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets: Foreign currency forward exchange contracts $ 6.4 $ — $ 6.4 $ — Total Assets $ 6.4 $ — $ 6.4 $ — Liabilities: Foreign currency forward exchange contracts $ 16.2 $ — $ 16.2 $ — Contingent consideration $ 2.1 — — 2.1 Total Liabilities $ 18.3 $ — $ 16.2 $ 2.1 Our foreign currency forward exchange and option contracts are valued using observable Level 2 market expectations at the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. Further details regarding our foreign currency forward exchange and option contracts are discussed in Note 10. Contingent consideration is valued using a probability-weighted analysis of projected gross profit and integration milestones. Actual results may differ significantly from those used in the estimate above, which may affect future payments. Changes in future payments will be reflected in future operating results as they occur. The carrying amounts reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, Other Current Assets, Accounts Payable and Other Current Liabilities approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair value and carrying value of total debt, including current portion, were $457.4 million and $ 463.6 million , respectively, as of March 31, 2020.The fair value and carrying value of total debt, including current portion, were $357.2 million and $338.8 million , respectively, as of December 31, 2019. The fair value was calculated based on the borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and remaining maturities, which is a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. From time to time, we measure certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, including evaluation of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, as part of a business acquisition. These assets are measured and recognized at amounts equal to the fair value determined as of the date of acquisition. Fair value valuations are based on the information available as of the acquisition date and the expectations and assumptions that have been deemed reasonable by us. There are inherent uncertainties and management judgment required in these determinations. The fair value measurements of assets and liabilities assumed as part of a business acquisition are based on valuations involving significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3, in the fair value hierarchy. These assets are also subject to periodic impairment testing by comparing the respective carrying value of each asset to the estimated fair value of the reporting unit or asset group in which they reside. In the event we determine these assets to be impaired, we would recognize an impairment loss equal to the amount by which the carrying value of the reporting unit, impairment asset or asset group exceeds its estimated fair value. These periodic impairment tests utilize company-specific assumptions involving unobservable inputs, or Level 3, in the fair value hierarchy.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes We and our subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of numerous state and foreign jurisdictions. We are generally no longer subject to U.S. federal tax examinations for taxable years before 2016 and, with limited exceptions, state and foreign income tax examinations for taxable years before 2015. We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in Income Tax Expense. In addition to the liability of $7.5 million for unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2020 , there was approximately $0.7 million for accrued interest and penalties. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate as of March 31, 2020 was $7.4 million . To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued will be revised and reflected as an adjustment of the Income Tax Expense. We are currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2016 and 2017 tax years. Although the outcome of this matter cannot currently be determined, we believe adequate provision has been made for any potential unfavorable financial statement impact. Although the final outcome of these examinations cannot be currently determined, we believe that we have adequate reserves with respect to these examinations.

Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation – The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) requirements for interim reporting. In our opinion, the Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations. These statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 . The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
New Accounting Pronouncements	New Accounting Pronouncements – In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). This ASU provides optional expedients to applying generally accepted accounting principles to certain contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by the reference rate reform, which affects the London Inter-bank Offered Rate, if certain criteria are met. The amendments are effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are evaluating whether to apply any of the expedients and/or exceptions. Further details regarding the adoption of new accounting standards are discussed in Note 2.
