Removing stubborn dirt, protective treatment or changes in the surface from floor coverings using the sanding equipment and the LS single-brush machine. Suitable for smooth, water-resistant floor coverings. Note: This will usually also remove any coating material.

01

Preparatory work

  • Select suitable products to match the surface to be cleaned (type / square metres) and the type of soiling.

  • Mount the water tank on the machine.

  • Fill the water tank with water.

  • Reverse or replace the sanding equipment when it gets dirty; continue with step 2 of the main task until the entire area is sanded.

  • Use a wet vacuum cleaner or scrubber-dryer to remove the dirty water.
