Brown Standard Floor Pad
The Brown Standard Floor Pad is intended for demanding scrubbing and preparation tasks. It offers an abrasive grade for suitable hard floors where ingrained soil or worn finish must be removed before further treatment.
Scrubbing and Floor Preparation
Use the pad for an approved wet or dry scrubbing process, with an appropriate stripper where specified. Assess the coating and floor first, then recover the loosened material and prepare the surface for the planned finish.
Match the Pad to the Machine
Choose the diameter specified for your machine and drive board. This standard-pad range is rated for machines operating up to 600rpm; the machine and floor instructions may require a lower speed. Check the floor finish and test a small area before wider use.
Care After Use
Remove the pad from the machine, rinse away soil with clean water and hang it to dry. Both sides may be used while they remain clean and serviceable. Replace a pad that is worn, damaged or unable to maintain even contact.

How to Use and Care for the Brown Pad

- Clear loose debris, then isolate the machine as instructed before fitting a clean pad to its drive board.
- Test a discreet area and follow the chemical and machine instructions. Recover loosened soil and coating residue before preparing the surface for its next treatment.
- Rinse the pad with clean water and brush away residue using the centre push-out piece as directed by Robert Scott. Hang it to dry and inspect before reuse.
FAQs
What is the brown pad used for?
Robert Scott identifies brown for aggressive wet or dry scrubbing, including approved processes with strippers. It prepares suitable floors for new emulsion polish, so choose it only where that preparation is intended and the surface can tolerate it.
Which size should I order?
Select the diameter approved for your machine and drive board. Astral lists options from 6 to 24 inches; check the selected size before ordering rather than inferring the pad size from the machine’s brush diameter.
What machine speed is suitable?
The Robert Scott standard range is rated for machines up to 600rpm. Follow any lower limit required by the machine, floor or stripping process, and check the operating instructions before selecting a speed.
Is it suitable for every floor finish?
No. Brown is an aggressive grade that can remove or affect coatings. Check the flooring and finish instructions, confirm what must be removed and test a discreet area before treating the full floor.
Can both sides be used?
Robert Scott specifies that both sides can be used. Inspect the next side before turning the pad over, and remove grit or accumulated coating residue so the pad remains clean and serviceable.
How should I clean the pad?
Rinse with clean water and brush away residue using the centre push-out piece according to Robert Scott’s guidance. Hang to dry before storage and replace the pad if wear or damage prevents even contact.
For wet stripping, compare the black stripping pad. The green floor pad provides an intermediate cleaning grade.
