SCRUB BRUSHES

NOTE: All original equipment brushes are equipped with “Perform Alert♥”. This feature will tell the operator when it is time to replace the scrub brushes. “Perform Alert♥” brushes have pre-trimmed bright yellow tufts to indicate the length of a worn out brush. When the tufts in the scrub brush wear to a length equal to the yellow tufts, the scrub brushes should be replaced.

There are five different types of brushes available to cover applications from cleaning heavily soiled floors to polishing. A pad driver is also available to take advantage of the many cleaning pads on the market and further add to the flexibility of the machine.

Please refer to the following to assist in selecting the proper brush or pad for the work at hand.

UNCOATED FLOORS

Aggressive Grit is a nylon fiber impregnated with silicone carbide grit. It grinds away stain, soil, and removes surface material.

Mild Grit is a less aggressive silicone carbide grit suitable for cleaning medium soil conditions. Advantages are faster ground speed than nylon bristles on light solid applications.

Nylon is a general-purpose scrub brush with stiff bristles. Polypropylene works well for maintaining concrete, wood and tile floors.

MAINTENANCE

FINISHED FLOORS

Nylon Polish is the softest brush. It will gently clean finished tile or terrazzo floors without removing floor finish or floor material. Used for washing highly polished or burnished floors.

Nylon bristles are used in a variety of applications on coated or uncoated surfaces.

White Pads (Polishing) are used for dry polishing to achieve a high-gloss appearance, or surface washing on highly polished or burnished floors.

Red Pads (Buffing) are used for light-duty scrubbing. When used with a mild detergent they will provide surface cleaning without removing the finish.

Blue Pads (Scrubbing) are used for heavy-duty scrubbing and light stripping. The blue pads remove less finish than brown stripping pads, yet will remove black marks, stains and dirt.

Brown Pads (Stripping) are used for easy and complete removal of old floor waxes/finishes. They will quickly remove ground in dirt, black heel marks, and spills. When used with the proper stripper, this pad leaves the floor clean and ready for finishing.

The scrub brushes should be checked before each days work for wire, string, wear and damage. The scrub brushes should be replaced if brush bristles are missing or if yellow Perform Alert ♥ indicates minimum brush length.
