hard floor cleaning machines
« on: August 06, 2013, 10:00:17 am »
Been doing a vinyl floor which has an inprinted textured kind of finish to it - bit of a pain to clean- managed it with a slow speed rotary but wondered what else you could do this floor with or tiles generally - I guess a truvox rotorwash - what else is out there?
What could use on carpets as well? Bit of a blank area for me as I have only really used slow speed rotary's for agitation and hard floors not got into the CRB type stuff

Hi Graeme, Microcleaning mop pads or microcleaning floor pads for slow speed scrubbing machines, will always give the best results results for deep cleaning vinyl or hard floors, these amazing pads are far more effective than cylindrical brush floor machines.

What sort of pad? This floor has a ripple over it and there are others areas - do you have a sample pack?

Approximately how many m2 would you expect from one of these pads?

In some circumstances yes but Microfibre gets torn to shreds on rough riven surfaces so in that instance Brushes are better.  Additionally pads don't clean recessed grout joints or unfilled travertine where brushes of the right texture do

Hi Kevin, I don't know where you are coming from about using microfiber pads for cleaning riven type floors, as I did not mention anything about using microfiber pads, I did recommend using microcleaning pads which are about 40 times more effective than microfiber for deep cleaning of hard floors, and are even more effective than cylindrical type brush machines, I can say this from experience as I have sold many cylindrical type brush machines over the years, and again from having over 30 years experience in cleaning hard floors there is nothing that will come near the power of microcleaning technology for deep cleaning hard floors.

Hi Jamie, there are many types available when you are using microcleaning pad technology for deep cleaning hard floors, microcleaning pads are sacrificial in use and only recommended for deep cleaning hard floors so its hard to say how many square meters you can clean as it depends which type of pad you are using and how rough the floor surface is.
