How to Choose the Right Floor Pad

Floor Pads are color coded for several reasons:

  • Easy Identification: Color-coding floor pads simplifies the process of identifying the appropriate floor pad for a particular cleaning task. Instead of reading labels or descriptions, cleaners can quickly recognize the floor pad they need based on the floor pads color.
  • Prevention of Cross-Contamination: Using different colors of floor pads for different purposes helps prevent cross-contamination between different areas or types of surfaces while cleaning your floors. For example, a floor pad used to clean and scrub a restroom floor may not be suitable for use when cleaning in a food preparation area. Color-coding reduces the risk of using the wrong floor pad in the wrong environment.
  • Clear Segmentation of Functions: Each floor pad color corresponds to a specific level of abrasiveness or cleaning function, making it easier for cleaners to select the right floor pad for the job. This segmentation ensures that the appropriate level of cleaning power is applied without damaging the floor surface.
  • Training and Standardization: Color-coded floor pad systems facilitate training for cleaning staff. By associating specific floor pad colors with certain floor cleaning tasks, training becomes more intuitive, and new staff members can quickly learn which floor pads to use in different situations. Standardization across facilities or cleaning companies is also easier to achieve with a consistent color-coding floor pad system.
  • Efficiency and Productivity: With color-coded floor pads, cleaners can work more efficiently. They spend less time searching for the right floor pad and can switch between tasks more quickly, leading to increased productivity.

White Floor Pads - Polishing

White or natural floor pads are the least abrasive floor pads and are often used for polishing or light cleaning on delicate floors and surfaces. They are suitable for floor buffing and maintaining the shine on finished floors.
