These environmentally preferable pads require only neutral cleaner or water to effectively deep scrub and remove most floor finishes, leaving a clean surface ready for refinishing. Use to prepare wood, vinyl tile, sheet vinyl, marble, terrazzo and concrete floors for finish applications. The cleaning process is easy. Because there is no slippery residue from strippers, no stripper contact with skin and clothing, and no stripper cleanup, the Scotch-Brite Surface Preparation Pad helps enhance safety and productivity.
