These maroon Eco-Prep pads are designed to let you strip your floor with or without water. On average it takes 3 to 5 passes depending on the coats of wax to strip down a floor to the bare tile. (Please Note: Even though these pads will do a great job in stripping the top layers of wax off, they will never remove 100% of the old wax off of the floor when used dry. To accomplish this, you'll need to perform a wet chemical strip.) You'll be most effective when using these pads as a dry stripping pad, but you can use them wet as well. We recommend using our black rectangular pads for wet stripping, as they tend to perform the best in wet strip situations.
When you are using these Eco-Prep pads in dry environment, you don't have to maintain a mop bucket or wet/dry vacuum next to you picking up the slurry as you work. Not only do you improve your efficiency, but you also improve your total cost to redo a floor, as no stripping chemicals are needed.
Each case that you purchase comes with 10 pads that are ⅜" thick. All rectangular pads like this one, can be found in our floor pads department, and are intended to be used with one of our dry stripping floor machines.
Very Important: This ⅜" pad MUST be used with the red spacer pad you see pictured to the left here. If you attach the ⅜" pad alone to the underside of your machine it will damage your floor. The pad driver has many small pins that hold a pad on - without enough padding those pins will score your flooring.

This video introduces you to the concept of dry stripping a floor.
They seem to cut the old wax off the floor better than power flite redwood prep pads, I'll order more

Great Results!
As described, this orbital scrubber with these prep pads will not remove all of the wax but the do indeed remove several layers and I would highly recommend this pad for scrubbing and recoating.
