Are you using surface preparation pads when you restore hard surface flooring? If not, you are spending more money, using more chemistry and expending more labor hours than you need to. This is an important methodology issue that affects both floor maintenance department efficiency and floor care results.
Scotch-Brite™ Surface Prep Pads are engineered as environmentally preferable products. Hillyard maroon pads are designed to do a very similar job.
What is the Approach?
Surface preparation pads, particularly when used with a super-efficient orbital floor machine such as the
Advance Adfinity X20R "REV" scrubber, cuts out two major expenses in floor restoration. First, a great deal of material is removed that does not have to be dissolved and stripped by chemical means. Second, this removal is very fast comparatively. So the process is better for the environment, better for your people, and uses significantly less labor. If there is chemical stripping left to do, it is far less than the job would require otherwise.
Surface preparation pad use is part of a labor-reducing and environmentally conscious facility management program.
• Reduce the need for chemical strippers
• Are used with a simple, neutral cleaner or even water
• Help to reduce labor hours and material costs when stripping floors
• Effectively remove floor finish, leaving a clean surface ready for recoating
