Descriptions of Brush Fill Material for Scrubbing

There two types of scrubbing brushes: Cylindrical and Disk. All scrubbing brushes have a full-fill bristle pattern and are trimmed to a short length. These features provide excellent coverage of the floor surface with the appropriate stiffness for effective scrubbing.

Nylon is used for gentle scrubbing in light soil conditions, and is the typical choice for decorative type floors.

Poly works best for general scrubbing in medium soil conditions. Poly is often used on concrete or coated floors in industrial facilities. Poly is the most common choice
for overall general purpose scrubbing

Abrasive Bristle is recommended for scrubbing in very heavy conditions with impacted or built-up soil. Abrasive bristle brushes are chosen to scrub very rough surfaces including asphalt or rough concrete.

Stiff Poly
Similar to Poly but with a heavier-gauge bristle that makes it slightly more aggressive.

Non-scuff Poly
Lighter-gauge poly for lighter duty scrubbing conditions and finished floors.

Nylon
Nylon softens when wet, so it is used for gentle scrubbing, mopping or polishing of decorative floors. Will not scratch tile, terrazzo, or coated surfaces.

Abrasive Bristle
Moisture-resistant nylon filament impregnated with silicon carbide grit. Very effective for grinding away heavy buildups and stripping floor finish.

Super Abrasive
Similar to standard Abrasive, but with larger-diameter filament and heavier grit for additional aggressiveness.

Union Mix
Most gentle brush fill for light scrubbing or buffing of decorative type floors.
