3M 7000042729 Blue Cleaner Pad 5300 12 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7000042729 is a 12-inch blue cleaner pad designed for heavy-duty floor scrubbing and surface preparation ahead of recoating operations. The pad removes embedded dirt, spills, and scuffs from hard floor surfaces, leaving a clean substrate ready for finish application. It operates on standard low-speed rotary or automatic floor machines running between 175 and 600 RPM. Sold as a case, this pad is a routine consumable for floor care technicians, janitorial contractors, and facilities maintenance crews managing high-traffic hard floor surfaces.

This pad is suited for commercial and institutional floor maintenance programs where periodic recoating of resilient hard floors is standard practice. It works in heavy-duty spray cleaning and foam scrubbing applications in addition to straight scrubbing passes prior to recoat. Typical installation environments include schools, healthcare facilities, retail spaces, and other commercial settings with waxed or finished hard floors that require periodic stripping preparation or interim cleaning between full strip cycles.
