Scrubbing Pads:
Scrubbing pads are one of the most effective ways to clean floors and are designed to remove tough stains and dirt from hard surfaces at low speeds between 175 – 600 RPM. They are typically made from a tough abrasive material, such as nylon or polyester, and come in a range of colours to denote their level of abrasiveness. Black scrubbing pads are the most aggressive and are used for stripping floors, while white pads are the least abrasive and have a polishing effect. Scrubbing pads are typically used with a floor machine to remove dirt and grime from hard surfaces or on a buffer to polish a floor like tile, and stone. Scrubbing pads provide a fresh new surface for finishing. Polishing Pads:
Polishing pads are used to bring out the shine in hard surfaces like marble, terrazzo, and concrete. They are made from a softer material than scrubbing pads and are typically used with a floor machine or buffer and are used at a low speed. Burnishing Pads:
Burnishing pads are used to remove scuffs and marks and help repair finishes and improve the quality of gloss. They are typically made from a soft, synthetic material and are used with a high-speed burnisher to create a high-gloss shine. Burnishing pads are ideal for use in high-traffic areas. Stripping Pads:
Stripping pads are used to remove wax, dirt, and other build-up from hard surfaces like vinyl, linoleum, and sealed concrete. They are typically made from a rough, synthetic material and are used with a floor machine or buffer. Black pads are the most aggressive and are used for heavy-duty stripping, while blue pads are less abrasive and are used for light stripping. Stripping pads are used at a low speed between 175 – 600 RPM. Microfibre Pads:
Microfibre pads are a versatile type of floor cleaning pad that can be used for a variety of cleaning tasks. They are typically made from a blend of synthetic fibres and are designed to trap and hold dirt, dust, and other particles. Microfiber pads can be used wet or dry and are ideal for cleaning hard surfaces like tile, hardwood, and laminate. They are also great for dusting and polishing. Floor Pad Guide:
