BRUSH AND PAD INFORMATION
For best results, use the appropriate brush or pad
for the cleaning application. Listed below are
brushes and pads and the applications for which
each is best suited.
NOTE: The amount and type of soilage play an
important role in determining the type of brush or
pad to use. Contact a Tennant representative for
specific recommendations.
Nylon brush (Cylindrical and Disk)* − Softer
nylon bristles are recommended for scrubbing
coated floors. Cleans without scuffing.
Heavy Duty Polypropylene brush (Disk) −
Heavy duty polypropylene bristles provide a more
aggressive cleaning performance and can more
easily lift compacted dirt, debris, and sand while
offering excellent scrubbing performance.
Polypropylene brush (Cylindrical and Disk)* −
General purpose polypropylene bristles lift lightly
compacted dirt without scuffing high-gloss coated
floors.
Super AB brush (Cylindrical and Disk)* −
Nylon fiber with an abrasive grit to remove stains
and compacted dirt. Aggressive action on any
surface. Performs well on buildup, grease, or tire
marks.
* This brush is also available for the side brush.
Stripping pad (Brown)− For stripping of floor
finish to prepare the floor for recoating.
Scrubbing pad (Blue) − For medium to
heavy−duty scrubbing. Removes dirt, spills, and
scuffs.
Buffing pad (Red) − For light duty scrubbing
without removing floor finish.
Polishing pad (White) − For maintaining highly
polished or burnished floors.
High productivity stripping pad (Black) − For
aggressive stripping of heavy finishes or sealers,
or for very heavy duty scrubbing. This pad can
only be used with the grip pad driver, not the
tufted pad driver.
Surface preparation pad (Maroon) − For very
aggressive chemical free removal of floor finish to
prepare the floor for re−coating
Grip pad driver − The grip−face backing allows
pads to be fully used and holds pads in place
without penetrating the pad. The spring−activated
centering device works with all Tennant pads and
allows for fast, easy pad replacement.
Tufted pad driver − Standard pad driver has
short bristles, or “tufts,” on the back to hold the
pad in place. This driver works with all Tennant
pads except the black high productivity pad.
