Cheers Kev
Just interested in feedback that's all, they seem popular with certain individuals. I get the impression they are the rug doctor of the hard floor world.

i know about 20 people who have got one and they say nothing but good things about it, Seen some great before and after photos and had chats with genuine guys who are regularly earning £400 + per day so makes the cost of the machine irrelevant . But then its right for there business model.
 If you are after a quick and cheap way to add hard floor cleaning to your existing  business then  its a great purchase, and if it brings in the revenue that hard floor cleaning can (and does do) then you can expand and progress from there.
Plus ive seen first hand the back up from Martin and Alex and its up there with the best of em.

They look to do a decent job but then you could do a decent job with a rotary and pad and grout brush.
And I've got them already.

For deep cleaning hard floor surfaces whether its with the TileMaster or a rotary if used in combination with compressed melamine floor pads anyone can achieve brilliant results. Another benefit of using compressed melamine floor pads is that you don't need to use harsh and aggressive cleaning chemicals to remove ingrained soils. Its also good to see more and more suppliers are now promoting melamine floor pads because of the superior results which will be achieved. Tadgh

Yes i would agree with that Derek 400 a day is very achievable for deep cleaning hard floors, and its a market that is wide open for anyone to tap into.

Hi Shaun, yes micro-cleaning mop/floor pads used in combination with any type oscillating machine will give more effective results than traditional type mop/floor pads or scrubbing brushes especially when deep cleaning hard floors, micro-cleaning/melamine pads have been one of the best advancements for deep cleaning hard surfaces in our industry over the last 10 years, one of the problems many encounter with melamine pads is that they don't last very long but today many suppliers are promoting compressed melamine pads which are far more durable in use.

So were the pads I bought off you and trialled normal or compressed? Because they wore out in under 4M2
What is the difference in price between them?
How many M2 do you get out of each?

Hi Kevin, the density of the standard melamine floor pads we used to promote was 8.2 kgs per CBM.
The compressed melamine floor pads we now promote have a density of 12.3 kgs per CBM.
We carry these compressed melamine floor pads in 16" diameter, as they are far more durable and depending on type of floor surface you need to deep clean usage should be anywhere from 20 up to 80M2, if they are being used with a scrubber dryer for regular maintenance cleaning in supermarkets for example they can last for 100s of square meters.
i have emailed you pricing. Tadgh

  Hi Steve, melamine floor pads can be used in combination with any type slow speed rotary, they are also very effective on any type oscillating machine, the reason so many suppliers are now promoting them again they are far more effective in results especially for deep cleaning hard floors than standard type fiber pads or brushes. When you see companies like 3M having their distributors putting a big push on them you gotta ask yourself why.  Tadgh
