Many people ask me what pads should I use for what situation. So I thought I would do a nice simple break down on what color pads should be used for what. The information is based on a 3M reference chart.
Cleaning
White - Summer cleaning
Red - Winter cleaning, heavier traffic floors
Buffing
White - Low speed under 300
Tan - 300 RPM and up
Burnishing - In order of aggressiveness
Pink Eraser - Black mark removal made easy
Natural Blend - Includes Hog's hair, Buckaroo, Jackeroo, Gorilla and Porko
Tan Burnish - Good for gloss and long life of finish
Light Blend - Includes Jackaroo Lite, Gorilla Lite, and Porko Elite
Blue Ice - My personal favorite, Restores gloss and designed for floors that are burnished daily
Scrubbing
Blue - Dark blue for light coat removal or repair of heavy scratching i.e.Under chairs
Green - To remove a little more
Stripping
High Pro - Aggressive pad, rinse easy great for any heavy build up floor
Black stripping - Standard black pad
Brown - Nice aggressive pad to remove fewer coats on the floor. Falls nicely between a black and green pad.
I hope this quick basic breakdown will help you to choose the right pad next time you have to buy pads.
