When choosing dif
fer
ent pads and br
ushes for the Orbiter
, ther
e
is no exact science to which pad or brush is most suitable on a
particular floor. Pads are good for scrubbing and polishing flat
sur
faces. Br
ushes work well for getting into r
ecesses in non-flat
surfaces, like tile, where the bristles can get into grout lines.
When you choose an accessory, remember - you want one
aggressive enough to do the job but gentle enough not to
damage the floor. Use common sense. For example, do not use a
black pad (aggr
essive) on a wood floor (soft floor). Start with
what is safe and move to mor
e aggr
essive, if needed.
The pads ar
e color coded depending on how aggressive they are
(except for the beige marble pad): White is the softest, followed
by red, green, brown and black being the most aggressive. Pads
are designed to be porous and open-weave (except the beige
pad) so that when it loosens dir
t it can pick it up. The dir
t goes
inside the pad (i.e. off the floor). All pads can be turned over and
the other side used befor
e cleaning and disposing. Pads may be
hosed off in some instances and re-used.
Brushes are also coded with black being the softest followed by
the union mix (tan) brush, the orange scrub brush, with the brown
grit brush being the most aggr
essive.
Note: Never store the Orbiter with a pad or brush mounted on it
because they can become deformed especially the brushes.
