When choosing different pads and brushes for
the Orbiter, there is no exact science to which
pad or brush is most suitable on a particular
floor. Pads are good for scrubbing and polishing
flat surfaces. Brushes work well for getting into
recesses 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. It is really common sense. For
example, do not use a black pad (aggressive) on
a wood floor (soft floor). Start with what is
safe and move to more aggressive if needed.
The pads are 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 dirt it can
pick it up. The dirt goes inside the pad (i.e.
off the floor. All pads can be turned over and
the other side used before cleaning or disposing.
Pads may be hosed off in some instances and re-used.
Brushes are also color 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 aggressive.
Never store the Orbiter with a pad or brush mounted
on it because they can become deformed, especially
the brushes.
