Low Speed Buffers

Low speed buffers are typically used to clean, scrub or strip floors.  When used with softer pads like white pads along with spray buff, they can be used to restore some gloss to a floor finish on a viny composition tile.  However, this is not common as there are now high speed burnisher available that make this task easier.  Low speed buffers also go by other names such as swing machines, side-to-side machines and standard floor machines to name a few.  When used with soft brushes or red floor pads they can be used to clean a floor with a pH nuetral or an all purpose cleaner.  When used with stiffer brushes or blue or green floor pads, they can be used along with an all purpose floor cleaner to top scrub or deep scrub a floor that may or may not have floor finish applied to it.  When used with heavy duty stripping brushes or black, aggressive floor pads along with a commercial grade floor finish stripper low speed floor machines can be used to completely strip floor finish from a vinyl composition tile or stone floor.
