Grit Brush vs Pad comparison chart

Rotary Grit brushes by Malish are designed to deliver a deeper level of clean on all types of hard floor surfaces, especially those with grout lines and uneven textures. Unlike traditional floor pads, these innovative grit brushes feature silicone carbide-impregnated nylon filaments, ensuring self-replenishment as the brush wears. With an exceptional lifespan that surpasses traditional floor pads by up to 200 to 1, grit brushes are the ultimate solution for achieving pristine floors. For every pad color and application, there’s a rotary grit brush solution.

Unparalleled Performance: Why Choose Rotary Grit Brushes?

Superior Versatility: Rotary grit brushes effortlessly perform on uneven floors, surpassing the limitations of pads. These grit brushes excel in cleaning grout lines, an area that pads can’t reach. The easy color-coded system corresponds to the color pad it replaces.

Cost-Effective Solution: Unlike pads, grit brushes minimize change-outs, saving valuable time and labor expense. No more constantly flipping pads, washing them out, or replacing them as brushes eliminate the need for such inconvenience since they’re self-cleaning. Not to mention that many users forget to flip their pads and toss them out, thus escalating product costs. A single grit brush can outlast up to 200 pads, significantly reducing landfill waste, labor resources, and product costs by an average of 54%.

Unmatched Hygiene: Grit brushes deliver superior cleaning results, digging deep into grout lines and uneven surfaces, agitating chemicals, and breaking up and removing built-up dirt and germs. While traditional floor pads allow dirt and germs to nest in the pad, grit brushes are self-cleaning so no need to touch dirty floor pads and wash them out by hand. Traditional floor pads clog up and redeposit dirt, debris, and germs onto the floor. Grit brushes are not only superior compared to the cleaning power of traditional floor pads, but they also require less maintenance, keeping floors looking their best.
