Scrubber Pad Colors Decoded
Match the pad to the job to protect floors.

Lighter pads like white and red are for polishing and light cleaning.
Blue and green pads handle heavier scrubbing.
Brown and black pads are for stripping finish.
Using the wrong pad can damage floors, so train crews on the color system.
