Scuff pads (super pads / normal pads) are robust pads made from hard-wearing materials such as nylon or polyester. They are mostly used to remove stubborn dirt, dried stains and grime from robust floor coverings such as tiles, concrete or stone. Scrubbing pads have a rough surface that helps to loosen and remove dirt – however, similar to brushes, the fibers of scrubbing pads are too coarse and therefore do not get into the smallest recesses. They therefore do not provide good cleaning results.

Polishing pads are softer and made from materials such as microfiber or cotton. They are used to polish glossy surfaces and leave a smooth, clean shine on floor coverings such as linoleum, vinyl or sealed wood. Polishing pads also help to minimize fine scratches and bring the floor to a high gloss. However, due to their nature, they usually do not manage to clean the broth thoroughly down to the depths.

Melamine pads, also known as sponge pads or magic eraser pads, are made of melamine foam. They are particularly effective at removing stubborn stains, discoloration and soiling from various surfaces, including delicate floor coverings. Melamine pads are able to penetrate and efficiently remove dirt particles without the need for chemical cleaning agents.

This type of pad is usually attached to drive plates that are attached to the machines. Drive plate pads are available in various degrees of hardness and offer versatile cleaning options for different floor coverings.
The hardness grades are differentiated by color. White, red, blue, green and black. The darker the pad, the more aggressive the cleaning. They are mostly used for general cleaning and can be used for lighter soiling.

Diamond pads are special pads with diamond particles. They are mainly used for grinding and polishing natural stone floors such as marble or granite. Diamond pads can sand surfaces smoothly and produce a high-gloss finish.

These pads are made of microfiber material and offer effective and gentle cleaning for various floor coverings. They can absorb dust, dirt and moisture efficiently without damaging the surfaces. Microfiber pads therefore have a good cleaning result at first, but they quickly become clogged with dirt and lose their good cleaning effect.

The PolyPlusPad® is a pad with high mechanical cleaning performance and long service life on various mineral and resilient floor coverings, such as porcelain stoneware, natural stone, textured tiles, vinyl, linoleum, rubber studded floor coverings, etc.
The fine polyester fibers have a high mechanical cleaning effect and remove dirt from the surface. The dirt does not adhere to the fibers, remains in the dirt liquor and can therefore be vacuumed up with the scrubber dryer. There is no “soiling” of the fiber as with a pure microfiber pad.

Melamine pads are the standard for the best mechanical cleaning performance on the market.

The big challenge: the battery capacity of many cleaning machines is relatively small. This means that you can only cover a limited area with melamine pads before the battery runs out. The new melamine pad from haid-tec extends the battery life of the cleaning machine by creating less friction on the floor thanks to a unique material mixture and still offering a great cleaning result

• Energy savings due to less friction on the floor
• Improved water flow through new material mixture
• High quality recycled product
• Work economically
