Steel Wool Pads

Steel Wool Floor Pads

Keep your floors looking their best with our professional-grade steel wool floor pads, designed for polishing, cleaning, and maintaining a wide variety of hard floor surfaces. At Express Cleaning Supplies, we supply premium quality floor care products trusted by cleaning professionals across the UK. Our steel wool pads are an essential part of a complete floor maintenance system, offering superior performance for deep cleaning, buffing, and restoring shine.

Professional-Quality Steel Wool Pads

Our steel wool floor pads are made from high-grade fibres that ensure even abrasion, consistent results, and long-lasting durability. These pads are suitable for use with rotary floor machines, single-disc machines, or floor polishers running at low to medium speeds. Designed to meet the demands of both commercial and industrial cleaning environments, steel wool pads offer unbeatable results on a variety of surfaces including wooden floors, marble, terrazzo, vinyl, linoleum, and stone.

Versatile Floor Cleaning and Polishing

Steel wool pads are highly versatile, making them ideal for polishing and maintaining hard floors as well as for specific tasks such as cleaning between coats of floor seal or removing tough scuff marks. When used with appropriate cleaning solutions or wax, these pads can restore floor surfaces to a bright, smooth finish. They are also effective for dry polishing, scrubbing, or removing old floor finish before reapplying a new coating.

Range of Grades for Every Application

At Express Cleaning Supplies, we understand that no two floors are the same. That is why we offer floor pads in a variety of grades, from ultra-fine to coarse, so you can select the right option for your cleaning and maintenance tasks.

• Extra Fine Grade (0000): Best suited for polishing delicate surfaces, removing light scuff marks, and achieving a mirror-like finish on wooden, marble, or metal surfaces.
• Fine Grade (00 to 0): Ideal for general purpose cleaning, between-coat rubbing, or light refinishing. Helps maintain a smooth appearance without scratching.
• Medium Grade (1 to 2): Used for surface preparation or removing moderate soil and wax build-up. Suitable for restoring dull or worn floors that require attention.
• Coarse Grade (3 to 4): Designed for heavy-duty cleaning, stripping, or floor preparation before applying new seal or finish.

Each grade ensures dependable performance when paired with the right cleaning process, helping operators maintain high standards of cleanliness and presentation.

Suitable for a Range of Floor Types

These pads are perfect for use on multiple hard floor surfaces commonly found in commercial premises, schools, hospitals, hotels, and busy public areas. Whether you need to clean natural stone, maintain wood floors, or polish vinyl tiles, our steel wool pads deliver consistent results every time.

Wood and parquet floors benefit from the natural abrasiveness of steel wool, as it smooths the surface between coatings and leaves floors ready for sealing or polishing. On marble or terrazzo, fine-grade pads bring out a high gloss without damaging the natural finish. For floors with heavy coatings or wax build-up, coarser grades help remove unwanted residue efficiently.

High Performance for Professional Cleaning

The performance of a steel wool pad depends on the quality of its construction. Our steel wool floor pads are manufactured using resilient fibres that resist tearing, clogging, and shredding, ensuring a longer service life compared to inferior products. They remain effective even after repeated use, maintaining their cutting power and polishing ability.

When attached to rotary floor machines, these pads distribute pressure evenly for consistent cleaning across the entire floor surface. This helps reduce operator effort and achieves superior results faster. Many professional cleaners choose steel wool pads for tasks where conventional synthetic pads cannot deliver the same level of precision and finish.

How to Use Steel Wool Floor Pads

For best results, use the pad grade appropriate to the condition of the floor. Ensure the floor surface is free from loose debris and dust before operating the machine. When using chemical cleaners, wax, or polishing solutions, always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and test on a small area first.

Attach the steel wool pad securely beneath the drive board of your floor machine. Operate at the recommended speed, ensuring steady movement to prevent uneven polishing. Replace pads when they become worn, loaded with residue, or no longer provide the desired finish. Always wear protective gloves when handling used pads.

After use, dispose of worn pads responsibly, keeping metal particles away from electrical equipment and areas where they could cause surface staining.
