Flex Scrub® is available in four different bristle options, each designed for specific cleaning tasks. These bristled pads, available in sizes ranging from 13″ to 20″, are color-coded to match the traditional floor pads they replace, making ordering simple and hassle-free:

  • Red Flex Scrub® (500-grit): Ideal for everyday use, this pad maintains floor cleanliness and keeps surfaces looking clean with regular maintenance.
  • Blue Flex Scrub® (180-grit): Perfect for light scrubbing, it removes light dirt, scuff marks, and surface residue without damaging the floor.
  • Green Flex Scrub® (120-grit): Designed for heavy-duty cleaning, this pad tackles dried-on residue, saturated grout lines, and layers of built-up dirt.
  • Black Flex Scrub® (80-grit): The most aggressive option, this pad strips floors down to the base level, making it ideal for deep cleaning and surface preparation.

By choosing the appropriate grit and matching the color to the floor pad it replaces, you can ensure the right level of cleaning and care for your specific flooring needs while simplifying your ordering process.

How to Use Flex Scrub®

Step 1: Choose Your Floor Machine

Flex Scrub® is compatible with all standard floor buffers and auto-scrubbers. Available in various sizes, you can easily match it to your equipment. This versatility eliminates the need for other pads for floor buffers, providing a comprehensive, all-in-one solution.

Step 2: Attach the Bristled Pad

Attaching Flex Scrub® is simple. Just align it with your pad driver, ensuring an even bristle distribution for maximum cleaning power, and attach the centering device. With Flex Scrub®, there’s no need to keep multiple types of scrubbing floor pads on hand.

Step 3: Start Cleaning

Flex Scrub® is designed to work with neutral cleaners, cutting down on chemical usage. The bristles do the hard work, scrubbing deeper into grout lines and uneven surfaces to lift dirt and debris that standard scrubbing floor pads often leave behind.

Step 4: Storage

After use, remove the Flex Scrub® from the machine. Check the bristles and rinse the tool if needed. Place it on a rack or shelf to dry. Avoid leaving it on the machine, and don’t place heavy objects on top of the bristled floor pad, as this can cause the bristles to bend over time, reducing its effectiveness.

  • Concrete and Terrazzo: Delivers deep cleaning and effective stripping, removing dirt and old floor finishes without damaging the surface.
  • Vinyl and Tile: Ideal for everyday maintenance, offering a superior clean compared to disposable scrubbing floor pads.
  • Grouted Floors: The bristles penetrate grout lines, removing built-up dirt that traditional pads for floor buffers might miss.
