How to Choose the Right 3M Floor Pad from ICS Clean

When it comes to cleaning tasks, you know that the right floor pad can make all the difference. However, with a wide variety of 3M floor pads available, it can be hard to know which one is best for your particular job. To help you find the best pad, here are a few things to consider when making your decision:

Task Type:

The type of cleaning task required is important – whether it’s stripping, buffing or burnishing. 3M floor pads are designed for specific tasks, so make sure to find one that is designed for what you need.

Pad Material:

The type of pad material matters too – natural fiber pads can be used for light-duty cleaning and polishing, while synthetic and non-woven products are ideal for heavier tasks like scrubbing and stripping. The harder the job, the tougher the material should be.

Floor Surface:

The type of floor surface is also an important factor: different floors require different types of pads to get the job done properly. Hard surfaces need an open webbed pad to ensure any dirt and debris is removed quickly; softer surfaces may need a softer pad to prevent damage during cleaning.
