Product Information
Full details
This 3M 15-inch black stripping floor pad is designed for professional floor maintenance, ideal for users of rotary floor stripping machines operating at high speeds (1000-3000rpm). Its key benefit is efficiently removing layers of wax polish and old finishes through wet scrubbing, leaving floors clean and hygienic, while its moderate softness ensures a quality finish across all floor types. A minor caveat is that it is specifically designed for stripping and may require a different pad for routine cleaning or polishing.

Troubleshooting
Pad not effectively removing finish
Ensure the floor stripping machine is operating within the 1000-3000 RPM range. Check if the floor finish is too old or has built up excessively, which might require multiple passes or a different chemical stripper. Verify the pad is securely attached and not worn out.
Uneven stripping results
Ensure the pad is evenly attached to the machine and that the machine is operated with consistent pressure and overlapping passes. Check for debris trapped within the pad that could cause uneven contact.
Excessive water or solution usage
Adjust the flow rate of the stripping solution on your machine. Ensure the pad is not overly saturated, as this can lead to excessive mess and longer drying times. The pad is designed for wet scrubbing, but manage liquid levels appropriately.
Pad wears out too quickly
Verify you are using the correct pad for the task. If stripping extremely difficult finishes or on abrasive floors, the pad's lifespan may be reduced. Ensure the machine is not being forced, allowing the pad and machine to do the work.
