20" White Cleaning Pad x 1
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.
FAQs – 20″ White Cleaning Pad
-
What is the 20″ White Cleaning Pad used for?
The white pad is the least abrasive floor pad, primarily used for dry buffing and polishing to produce a high shine on already clean floors. It’s the final step in floor maintenance. -
Which machines can I use this pad with?
It is compatible with 20″ rotary floor machines, floor buffers and scrubber dryers that take 20″ pads. -
Should I use this pad wet or dry?
This pad is typically used dry for burnishing or polishing. Some operators also use very light mist to help enhance floor gloss, but it’s not designed for heavy wet scrubbing. -
Will this pad clean heavy dirt or stains?
No — because it’s the gentlest pad, it won’t remove heavy dirt or deep soil. It’s best used after cleaning with more abrasive pads. -
What floors is it best suited for?
Ideal for sealed and polished hard floors where you want to maintain or boost shine after deeper cleaning has been done. -
Can it damage my floor finish?
Because it’s very mild in abrasiveness, it’s safe for most finished and sealed floors when used as intended for polishing. -
At what machine speed should I use this pad?
White polishing pads work best at medium to high speeds to achieve a glossy finish without lingering too long in one spot. -
Can I use both sides of the pad?
Yes — like most floor pads, this white pad can usually be used on both sides to extend its useful life. -
How should I care for the pad after use?
After use, rinse with clean water to remove dust and light residues, squeeze out excess water (if used with spray), and let the pad dry flat before storing. -
When should I replace the pad?
Replace it when the fibres become worn, compressed, or no longer produce a polished shine, even after cleaning or flipping.
