ETC of Henderson Inc.‘s floor buffing pads and floor scrubber pads offer long-lasting shine and consistent performance you can rely on. Each floor pad made by ETC is designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards, and our ongoing commitment to innovation makes them the most efficient floor pads on the market today.
Keeping your floors in pristine conditions requires using various types of floor cleaning machines and pads, and facility managers are faced with more options than ever before. Selecting the right floor pads for the job is imperative, and we are happy to help guide you to the right choice for your needs.
Stripping floor pads are used to remove sealer, contaminants and finishes from the surfaces of your floors. Use these at the start of your maintenance program, when scrubbing won’t deliver the results you want.
Floor scrubber pads will clean the surface layers of finish to maintain the look desired and are also used to repair a worn finish. We offer a range of floor scrubber pads that can remove multiple layers of finish prior to recoating, including pads designed for wet scrubbing, deep scrubbing, spray cleaning and light cleaning.
Floor buffing pads are ideal for removing black heel marks and scuffs while enhancing the appearance of your floors. Whether you are looking for a soft luster or a “wet shine” look, we have floor buffing pads that can get the job done.
Burnishing floor pads repair floor finishes while improving gloss and image clarity on the surface of the floor. We offer a number of burnishing pads that produce highly responsive finishes and can be used under electric, battery or propane machines.
ETC manufactures premium floor pads that are designed to the high end of specifications. With a minimum thickness of one inch, our floor pads lower your costs, boost labor efficiency and create a uniform gloss while reducing vibration. They are longer lasting than the competition. ETC’s unique fiber blending and dipped coatings ensure uniform binders while boosting resilience and service life.
Choosing the right floor pads is essential for the most efficient buffing, burnishing, stripping and scrubbing procedures. Since 1978, we have helped facility and custodial managers choose the best floor pads for their needs, and we are committed to offering quality products, competitive pricing, prompt service and the highest level of customer satisfaction. Our floor pads enhance the labor dollar and work faster and longer to deliver cleaner, shinier floors than any other pad.
