What are pads & pad drivers?

A pad on a floor scrubber is a replaceable, disc-shaped cleaning attachment that makes direct contact with the floor to perform tasks such as scrubbing, buffing, or polishing. In contrast, a pad driver is the component that securely holds the pad in place, allowing it to rotate and effectively clean the floor. Essentially, the pad driver serves as the connection between the cleaning pad and the machine.

Key Differences Between Pads and Pad Drivers:

Function:

Pads vary in texture and abrasiveness based on the cleaning task, whether it's scrubbing tough dirt, polishing, or stripping old floor finishes.

Attachment:

The pad driver features a gripping surface (often with Velcro-like material) to keep the pad securely attached to the scrubber during operation.

Types of Pads:

Pads come in different colors to indicate their purpose—for example, blue for general scrubbing, white for polishing, and black for stripping.

For this Product - A red buffing pad is slightly more abrasive and designed for general cleaning tasks, such as removing light scuffs and stains. In contrast, a white buffing pad is the softest option, primarily used for polishing and achieving a high-gloss finish on floors. Among all pad colors, white is the least aggressive.
