    what do you do with gray cimex pads ....

    We use the gray pads on the grease pit restaurant we clean.. the whole place is like 3,000 SF and it takes 2 sets of pads, flipping them every so often to clean the place.. they get a lot of fiber ball on the surface.. do you cut them off, keep going with the pads.. It seem like they loose some cleaning power with a lot of the build up on the pads.

    this place takes right at 3 gals of DS mixed double strength with butt HOT restaurant water, plus we pre-spray with punch mixed double at heavy usage rates.. and it a struggle to get it looking good..

    was going to try some hot knife the next time to see if that might do a better job in some of the worse areas near the kitchen..

    so my question is the pad build up.. what do you do ..

    Carl I just flip them over for the next use. Then after that I just throw them out. Makes sense to me because we make so much money using the Cimex that it's ok to dispose of them after 2 big jobs.

    carl, don't be afraid to use chemical or pads, those are cheap if you work that into your bill. I'll only flip the pads once before throwing them away. If you find that the pads are getting dirty too quickly then flip or exchange for a new set.

    Rinse them, flip them, toss them in the trash.
    you can also use brushes or 3M Blue pads.
    Sounds like that account needs a good HWE flush out next time.
    HWE + air movers + Encap every once in a while.
