18" White Cleaning Pad

See below for a guide to which buffing pads you may need for the job

Black

The standard stripping pad, for heavy duty wet stripping of emulsion polish.

You can't effectively use any other colour for stripping (Expect the Emerald, above) and you must use this wet. If you use this pad dry you will damage floors.

Use with slow speed Scrubbing Machine. 100-200 rpm. (You cannot effectively strip polish with a high speed machine)

Green

Green is the colour for wet scrubbing/cleaning. It can be used to "knock-back" polish before re-coating.

Perfect for deep cleaning, however you mustn't use this dry. Don't use on polished floors, unless you want to remove polish. That said, green is no good for stripping polish, it's not aggressive enough for that.

Ideal for use on a Scrubber Dryer for cleaning a heavily soiled or hard to clean floor

Use with slow speed Scrubbing Machine or Scrubber Dryer. 100-200 rpm.

Blue

Often overlooked, when floor cleaning pads are talked about. Half way between Green and Red it is a Polishing and cleaning pad. A very useful pad.

Perfect for spray cleaning a polished floor with heavy scuff marks. Ideal for school corridors. Also can be used for scrubbing/cleaning delicate floors where you might be nervous of using Green.

Use with slow or high speed Cleaning Machine or Scrubber Dryer 100-400 rpm.

Red

Red is best know as a spray cleaning pad. It polishes and cleans at the same time.

It's a mild floor cleaning pad. Often recommended for use by flooring manufacturers on a Scrubber Dryer as there is no risk of it damaging the floor or coating.

Not aggressive enough for scrubbing.

Use with slow or high speed Cleaning Machine or Scrubber Dryer. 100-500 rpm.

Tan

A mild polishing pad. Generally would be used dry for dry burnishing.

Very mild, won't damage even the softest of dressings. Used for waxed wood floor with a high speed machine. (Not many waxed floor left now)

Use with high speed Buffing Machine. 350-500 rpm.

White

The mildest floor pad. For dry burnishing or buffing of soft floor dressing.

Will burnish a polished floor to a high shine. Only use on a clean floor, this is polishing only. Can be used on a Ultra-High-Speed burnisher as long as you keep moving (Will over-heat the floor if you stay in one spot too long)

Use with high speed Scrubbing Machine. 350-500 rpm.
