Pads, discs, or cylindrical yes but what about rectangular orbital pads? Same as the round ones and colors are the same but rather than spinning to clean, the machine uses vibration to clean. A lot of machines can be purchased with a orbital configuration.
Thanks for the valuable information and updates. I have a LVT .. actually they are like hardwood planks in shape. I need information on the most suitable color pad for scrubbing dirt out of the LVT floor without harming it. Kindly educate.
I just picked up a barely used Bissell BGH-17E at an estate sale for $250. I have about 3000 sq. ft. of unglazed tile that I want to use this on to clean the grout and was wondering if you could recommend a brush that would be adequate at scrubbing the grout but not scratch the tiles. My plan is to apply my solution, scrub with the Bissell, vacuum up the residue, and then mop with plain water.
A nylon or poly brush would clean the grout, but make sure it's not a gritted brush (tynex), as that would scratch the tile. Give us a call at 1-888-550-0945 and we can help you out!
You can use a pad, however some of those rubberized floors are more textured than others. If there is significant texture, we recommend using a soft nylon brush.
Great video, thank you for sharing. I have large format resign(expoxy, terrazo type) flooring. With grout lines. Would the orbiter union mix brush be the best brush as to not scratch but give me a deep clean? Also cleaning product recommendations. I have an oreck orb 550mc
Any Poly or Nylon brush with thin bristles would do the trick! Neutral Cleaner would be our recommendation - Follow the manufacturer directions for dilution. If the chemical is too strong, you will end up with a haze on the shiny floor.
We have a vibrating orbital scrubber that uses pads at the hospital I work at. Some floors are vinyl and others are waxed tile. I've been using red on both for routine cleaning. Good choice? The black pads do well for stripping without chemicals on another more powerful stripping orbital scrubber we have.
Red pads are a great choice for either floor for routine cleaning. For stripping, have you tried a maroon prep pad for chemical free stripping on your orbital machine?
A regular prolene brush would be sufficient, but if you want to be extra careful with your floors, use a soft nylon brush. If you are looking for a particular brand, give us a call at 888-550-0945 and we can help you further!
I clean daycare there is stains and food on the floors, they have vct floors and I just want to go with the right product brush or pads? What would you recommend?
Depending on the type of epoxy flooring, we would recommend a softer pad, such as red or white. For concrete, a brush would be more effective than a pad. If you want to use a pad on concrete, the rougher the finish, the more aggressive the pad. Hope that helps!
A pad would would give better surface contact for linoleum- red would be standard, a green pad for deep scrubbing, black for stripping. Brushes come in similar coarseness- the benefits of brushes are that they last a lot longer than pads. Hope that helps!
I have an aircraft hangar with a grey color painted epoxy floor. We are using a Tennant T300 walk behind polisher (20" pad). We get tire tracks, oil drips and a bit of grease build up in spots around the hangar as we pull airplanes in and out. We also drive cars in the hangar as well. To date we have been using a light blue / pale blue pad and it seems to work well. I am curious how much different the light blue / pale blue pad is compared to the darker blue pad? Do you think the darker blue will scratch the grey painted floor? If you think the dark blue will be too abrasive do you think there is much different between the light blue pads on the market? I see various names for them like Sky Blue, pale blue etc.
Are you using a chemical to polish or scrub the floor with the light blue pad? For a painted epoxy floor, the chemical you use will have a bigger impact on the results than which color pad you are using. For just dry polishing, there wouldn't be much of a difference between the light blue and dark blue pads.
If I have a KENT orbital scrubber that has the lock plate with white tall brushes, can I scrub with that alone? Usually sit it on a red pad with a maroon scrubber underneath of it
I have a supplier telling us about a buffer pad that is yellow with brown on each side of the pads that clean and shine (3M Scotch brand), are these any good? has anyone used them?
We are not familiar with that specific 3M pad, but we have several other brands that we recommend depending on if you're using a low-speed or high-speed buffer. Give us a call at 804-798-4333 and we can figure out which pad would be best for your application!
How about getting high gloss on a gym floor when using a auto scrubber they use pink on the gym floor at the school I work on but at a previous job years ago worked cleaning when I worked cleaning a city building used red and green. But they want me using pink now but with a pink pad it not gonna get the black marks off the gym floors. I used a green pad before to get rid of black marks but after using the pink pads when cleaning the floors in the gym at the school pink doesn't give a high gloss after cleaning the gym floor. But that is the way the higher person than my manager told me to use a pink but it still doesn't come out great using a pink pad and it doesn't get a super high gloss on the gym floor.
Is it a wooden gym floor with a urethane coating? If so, routine scrubbing would be a red pad. Green would be more course and we wouldn't recommend it. Pink is usually used for high speed burnishing. The T3 only spins at about 200RPM, and it is used for routine scrubbing and light buffing. To get a high gloss we recommend a high speed burnisher with 1500 RPM.
Depending on the type of finish you're trying to take up, you may be able to use a more concentrated cleaning chemical and a green pad. If this isn't enough, you might look into using a stripper chemical with a black pad.
Celeste, Maroon pads, or 3M SPP Pads - they would do a good job on that type of substrate. They have an approx grit rating of around 280 to 320. I would use a 175RPM low speed buffer any diameter under 20" should work great and do the work without water or chemicals. Depending on the buildup on the floor, etc. You should get 100 - 150 square feet per side. I usually vacuum off the side I am using a few times before committing to flipping the pad just to get extra use out of it before it is spent. Then tack the floor clean with a tacking towel and mineral spirits when you have successfully de-glossed or satin-ed out the surface. Allow the floor to set for about 3 hours and then you can reapply the Tung/Teak Oil as desired. Now if you are planning on a different finish approach like water or oil based Polyurethane - you will have to re-sand the floor to bare wood first. Just FYI Good Luck.
Is it ok to use a polished pad I use the iron coat on the floor or use the a pink pad and how long does the iron coat or have to sit when it's wet or dry to me it does look right use a pink pad I went a polish pad I getting come confused with this new thing we have to have class on this new stuff
You can flip the pad if it's starting to get gunky. If the pads are getting too thin that the bristles of the pad driver are poking through, you risk damaging the floor. If you rinse the pads between uses, you can get more life out of them.
@@Caliberequipment A green pad was used for I don't know how long. Small raised areas look dull. I washed once with red and once with a dry white. I imagine it will take several passes with the white to bring it back? Thanks for the reply.
@@Caliberequipment Sorry, second question. If a green pad has dullen the floor. Should I dry burnish with a red once or twice, then go at it with the white? Appreciate the info. Thanks.
The green pad, because it's very aggressive, has permanently worn down the epoxy. You'll have limited results with the white pad- You might look into re coating the floor. Going forward, ditch the green pad- use red for general cleaning, white for polishing.
Sir, can you get hard lines out of wooden floors with this machine? I have to clean a store but my "boss" can't be bothered by explaining anything. I have no idea how to handle such a machine...
Are the hard lines scratches in the urethane coating? You might be able to remove some of the lighter scratches with a pad, otherwise it might be time for a sanding and recoat on the entire floor.
I'm a new small business owner and this was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much!
Thanks for the positive feedback!

Thank you!
would you suggest to use white pad with Oreck floor scrubber on epoxy covered floors?
Thanks for the valuable information and updates. I have a LVT .. actually they are like hardwood planks in shape. I need information on the most suitable color pad for scrubbing dirt out of the LVT floor without harming it. Kindly educate.
For LVT, we recommend a red pad along with a neutral cleaner for general use.
Thank you so very very much for your video 🙂.
You're very welcome!

What about diamond cutter when using the iron coat on floor if then I know I am getting confused on some thing
Great video! Just wondering, what would you use to clean Rubber Flooring? The one used at Fitness Centers/Gyms. A cleaning pad or a brush?
You can use a pad, however some of those rubberized floors are more textured than others. If there is significant texture, we recommend using a soft nylon brush.

I clean daycare there is stains and food on the floors, they have vct floors and I just want to go with the right product brush or pads? What would you recommend?
We would recommend a red pad- It's coarse enough to pick up stains but soft enough not to damage the vct flooring.
Is the a special pad i can use for epoxy flooring that wont damage it? And concrete
Depending on the type of epoxy flooring, we would recommend a softer pad, such as red or white. For concrete, a brush would be more effective than a pad. If you want to use a pad on concrete, the rougher the finish, the more aggressive the pad. Hope that helps!
What would you recommend for an apple stores flooring? It's like a concrete of some sort
We'd recommend a red pad for polished concrete- it's strong enough to remove scuffing without dulling the floor.
What brush or pad would you use for heavy duty linoleum like hospitals or schools have?
A pad would would give better surface contact for linoleum- red would be standard, a green pad for deep scrubbing, black for stripping. Brushes come in similar coarseness- the benefits of brushes are that they last a lot longer than pads. Hope that helps!

I am not the best on floor I am ok doing the old way I don't know what to do to make the boss happy need more time

It's recommended to use a pad holder instead of a brush - You'll get better down pressure.

For commercial floors, we recommend a pad. For concrete, a brush.
👍
What pad or brush would you use to clean drywall mud off concrete for lvp install?
A black pad or any kind of stiff poly brush should work - Use lots of water!
What would you just to get wax build up off of hardwood floors?
Depending on the type of finish you're trying to take up, you may be able to use a more concentrated cleaning chemical and a green pad. If this isn't enough, you might look into using a stripper chemical with a black pad.
What pad should I use before I recoat a tung oiled wood floor?
Celeste, Maroon pads, or 3M SPP Pads - they would do a good job on that type of substrate. They have an approx grit rating of around 280 to 320.

Unfortunately, we are not familiar with iron coat or diamond cutter- Sorry!
Ok sorry
how often you replace the pads?I mean are reusable?
You can flip the pad if it's starting to get gunky. If the pads are getting too thin that the bristles of the pad driver are poking through, you risk damaging the floor. If you rinse the pads between uses, you can get more life out of them.
Airplane hanger is epoxy. Auto cleaner is 180 rpm. Which pad is best? Wash with green. Dry polish with a red?
For cleaning - Red is the standard. For dry polishing you might try a dry white pad.

Red pad to clean polished concrete ??
A red pad for polished concrete would work great!
