New twist on floor care

Twister pads are an environmentally
friendly floor cleaning system that is
being distributed globally by the
Nilfisk group in co-operation with
HTC Sweden.

The Twister pads are impregnated
with microscopic diamonds and
mechanically treat and maintain
floors using just water. No cleaning
agents, chemicals or periodic
maintenance is required. A range of
pads is now available to suit all Nilfisk
scrubber dryers. The density and
hardness of the diamond content
relate to the level of abrasion and
gloss finish. Suitable floors include
Terrazzo, marble, limestone, ceramic,
polished concrete, epoxy and vinyl.

In one example, the Twister pads
have been used to treat a 15 year old
tennis court with marked deterioration.

Severe marks had been left by
heavy use of chemicals and a
replacement was planned with an
expected spend of £120,000.

A Nilfisk BR755 Ecoflex Scrubber
Dryer was used with 14″ yellow and
green Twister pads. After only four
passes and no application of chemical
the surface was left shiny and pristine,
as can be seen in the before and after
photos above.
