Floor Maintenance Pads for Floor Stripping, Buffing & Polishing

ABOUT FLOOR MAINTENANCE PADS

Virginia Abrasives offers two types of floor maintenance pads: Steel Wool and Non-Woven. Floor maintenance pads do a variety of jobs, depending upon the materials used in the pad.

Steel Wool pads are used when refinishing hardwood floors but should not be used with a water-based finish unless all particles are meticulously removed before the finish is applied.
Non-woven pads can include synthetic or natural fibers, or a combination of both, and may or may not have abrasive grains, depending upon the pad. They are used on both wood and concrete floors for scrubbing, buffing, stripping or polishing.

A third type of pad, Diamond Polishing Pads, contain industrial diamonds and are used with a variable speed grinder to achieve a glass-like finish on granite, marble, sandstone and limestone surfaces.

OUR UNIQUE CONSTRUCTION

Our non-woven floor maintenance pads are made with a unique process that involves the highest quality post-consumer recycled PET fiber, primarily from plastic water bottles and jugs. This, combined with the proprietary resin binders, produces the Best Eco-Friendly pad lines in the industry without added cost to you.

Floor Maintenance Pads incorporate a variety of abrasive materials, ranging from synthetic to aluminum oxide to silicon carbide.
Some of the buffing pads use very fine soft materials to increase the friction on the surface, providing very mild abrasion.
White pads have no abrasive. They rely on fine fibers on the surface to generate heat to burnish the finish.
