3M 5300 Blue 17 Inch Floor Pads, 5 Per Carton, 5 Per Case

The 3M 5300 Cleaner Pad is built for heavy duty scrubbing on hard floor surfaces, removing dirt, spills, and scuffs so the floor is clean and ready for recoating. Its non-woven nylon and polyester fiber construction holds up under aggressive use without gouging or damaging the finish underneath. Whether you are spray cleaning, foam scrubbing, or tackling stubborn stains that lighter pads cannot touch, this pad delivers consistent results across large floor areas. The 17 inch diameter fits standard rotary floor machines commonly used in commercial and institutional settings. Each carton contains five pads, giving maintenance teams enough supply to work through multiple cleaning cycles before reordering.

Uses

These pads are used for heavy duty scrubbing to strip away ground in dirt, dried spills, and scuff marks before recoating a floor surface. They also perform well in heavy duty spray cleaning and foam scrubbing routines where a more aggressive action is needed to lift residue from tile, concrete, or finished hard floors. Facilities rely on them for periodic deep cleaning cycles that go beyond what a daily polishing or buffing pad can achieve.

Who Would Benefit

Janitorial teams and building maintenance crews who maintain large hard floor areas will get the most from these pads. Schools, hospitals, warehouses, retail stores, and office buildings that run rotary floor machines as part of their cleaning program are natural users. Contract cleaning companies that service multiple facilities can standardize on the 17 inch size and keep cartons on hand for consistent deep cleaning results across client sites.

Applications

Use the 5300 pad on VCT, sealed concrete, terrazzo, and other hard floor surfaces that can tolerate aggressive scrubbing. It is well suited for pre-recoat preparation where the existing finish needs to be cleaned down to a sound surface before applying new finish coats. The pad also handles foam scrubbing of restaurant kitchens and industrial work areas where grease and heavy soil build up over time.

Preparation and Use

Mount the pad on a 17 inch rotary floor machine with the appropriate driver pad or pad holder. Apply your chosen cleaning solution, then operate the machine in overlapping passes across the floor surface. For spray cleaning, apply the solution and scrub; for foam scrubbing, work the foam into the surface and follow with a rinse or extraction step. Inspect the pad periodically and flip or replace it when the fibers become compacted or worn. After use, rinse the pad clean and let it dry before storing.
