Sanding & Finishing with a Topfloor Oscillating Orbital Floor Cleaner…
The oscillating floor cleaning method allows professional cleaners to treat wooden floors with controlled and consistent movement. The balance and even pad pressure provided by our floor sanding and polishing machines help reduce the risk of uneven results when cleaning, sanding and finishing suitable wooden floors. Always use the Dust Control Vacuum together with the Splash and Dust Guard to work without creating dust into the atmosphere to protect people from inhaling the dust.
Cleaning
In general, using the oscillating floor cleaning method requires less water than other methods. That is certainly an advantage for wooden floors, since they are often sensitive to moisture. Depending on how dirty the floor is, use either the Soft Micropad or the Hard Micropad to clean the floor. Moisten the pad until it is damp. Use the pad to clean approximately 40 m2/47.9yd2 and then turn it over. After use, the pads can be washed (make sure not to use a softening agent).
Sanding
Sanding wooden floors is a specialist task that requires stable movement and consistent pressure. For one-off renovation work or short-term flooring projects, businesses can hire a heavy-duty floor polisher designed to support sanding, surface preparation and finishing applications.
Finishing
After sanding, the machine can be used to distribute and rub in various oils and waxes. A big advantage of the Topfloor Oscillating machines is that they cause less splashing. It is also possible to use the Diamond pads to mechanically seal the wood.
