3M 7000042730 Blue Cleaner Pad 5300 14 Inches

Product Description

The 3M 7000042730 is a 14-inch blue cleaner pad designed for heavy-duty floor scrubbing and surface preparation ahead of recoating operations. Part of the 3M 5300 series, this pad removes embedded dirt, spills, and scuffs from hard floor surfaces, leaving a clean substrate that is ready to accept a fresh coat of finish. It is rated for low-speed rotary and automatic scrubbing machines operating between 175 and 600 RPM. The pad weighs 2.2 pounds and is sold by the case. Facility maintenance technicians and janitorial professionals are the primary installers and users of this pad type.

This pad is suited for routine heavy-duty maintenance cleaning on resilient hard floor surfaces such as vinyl composition tile, terrazzo, and similar floor types found in commercial and institutional settings. It works in both spray cleaning and foam scrubbing applications, giving crews flexibility depending on the soil load and cleaning method required. It is particularly effective in pre-recoating workflows where a clean, residue-free surface is required before applying floor finish.
