Choosing The Right Brushes & Pads

Floor Surface Type: Match pad specifications to your flooring material. Stone, PVC, and linoleum require different compositions compared to sealed or waxed parquet. Using incorrect pads can damage delicate finishes or prove ineffective on harder surfaces.

Pad Hardness Grade: Soft pads suit delicate surfaces like waxed wood, whilst medium-hard options handle most commercial hard floors effectively. Hard pads are reserved for heavy-duty scrubbing on resilient surfaces.

Machine Compatibility: Verify pad diameter matches your floor polisher specifications. Kärcher FP floor polishers typically require 330mm pads with compatible attachment mechanisms. Always check manufacturer recommendations.

Task Requirements: Standard polishing pads deliver general cleaning and light buffing, whilst specialised pads are formulated for specific outcomes like deep cleaning or high-gloss finishing on premium surfaces.

Brand Quality: Professional brands like Kärcher engineer pads with consistent quality control and optimised material composition. Genuine manufacturer pads from MyToolShed.co.uk ensure warranty compliance and reliable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replace floor polishing pads?

Replacement frequency depends on usage intensity. Commercial environments with daily use typically require pad replacement every 1-3 months, whilst occasional domestic use may extend pad life to 6-12 months. Replace pads when they show visible wear, reduced cleaning effectiveness, or material degradation.

Can I use the same pad on different floor types?

Using floor-specific pads is strongly recommended to avoid surface damage and achieve optimal results. Pads designed for hard surfaces like stone may scratch delicate sealed parquet, whilst pads for waxed floors won't effectively clean PVC or linoleum. Invest in appropriate pads for each floor type.

Are Kärcher pads compatible with other floor polisher brands?

Whilst some universal sizing exists, optimal performance and warranty compliance require using manufacturer-specified accessories. Kärcher pads are engineered specifically for Kärcher floor polishers, ensuring correct diameter, attachment mechanism, and material composition for best results.
