406mm Super Pad – 22mm Thick RED (pack of 5) | Oiled Floor Maintenance & Cleaning Pad

Menzer Red Floor Pad 406mm — Medium Hardness Italian Polyester Floor Machine Pad

The red pad occupies the most versatile position in the Menzer normal pad range. Medium hardness and non-abrasive, it sits between the soft polishing and application pads at one end and the hard cleaning pads at the other — providing enough mechanical action for effective cleaning and maintenance work without the aggression that risks cutting or scratching sensitive floor surfaces.

That balance makes the red pad the go-to choice across a wide range of professional floor care applications — from routine oiled floor maintenance through to deep cleaning on limestone, marble, and other sensitive stone surfaces where the green or black pad would be too aggressive.

Understanding where the red sits in the range helps select the right pad for every stage of the job.

Construction and Quality

Menzer floor pads are manufactured in Italy from high-density polyester fibre. The density of the pad construction determines how consistently the pad performs across its full face during a machine pass.

For a medium hardness pad like the red, high-density construction ensures consistent contact pressure across the full pad face throughout the pass — important for both cleaning applications where even chemistry distribution matters, and maintenance applications where uneven pressure produces patchy results on oiled or lacquered surfaces.

The Italian manufacture reflects Menzer’s positioning as a professional-grade tool supplier — the same manufacturing standards that apply to their abrasives extend across the entire pad range.

Primary Applications

Oiled floor maintenance The red pad is the standard choice for routine maintenance of oiled wood floors on a single-disc machine. Used with Arboritec maintenance products it provides the mechanical action needed to work the product evenly into the floor surface and lift surface soiling without cutting the oil film beneath.

Suitable for use with:

• Arboritec Oil Refresher — periodic maintenance of oiled wood floors to restore protection and appearance
• Arboritec Cleaner Concentrate — pH neutral daily cleaning concentrate for oiled and lacquered wood floors

Light to moderate cleaning on stone and hard floors For stone, tile, marble, limestone, and hard floor surfaces with light to moderate soiling the red pad provides effective mechanical action alongside neutral or alkaline cleaning chemistry. The non-abrasive character means it cleans effectively without scratching polished or honed stone surfaces.

Suitable for use with:

• Faber Algafloor — pH neutral daily cleaner for stone, porcelain, and ceramic
• Faber Neugel — pH neutral daily cleaning detergent for natural stone

Deep cleaning on sensitive surfaces The red pad’s most important application is deep cleaning on surfaces where a harder pad would risk damage. On sensitive calcareous stones — limestone, marble, travertine — the green or black pad carries a real risk of surface scratching even when used with cleaning chemistry. The red pad provides sufficient mechanical action to work concentrated alkaline cleaners effectively into the surface without the scratch risk of a harder pad.

For deep cleaning of heavily soiled limestone, marble, or sensitive stone where a full alkaline clean is needed:

• Faber 30 — concentrated alkaline deep cleaner for stone and tile
• Faber CottoSolv — super-concentrated alkaline wax, resin, and organic soiling remover

The combination of red pad mechanical action and correct Faber alkaline chemistry delivers effective deep cleaning results on sensitive surfaces that harder pads and stronger chemistry combinations could permanently damage.

Lacquered wood floor maintenance The red pad is appropriate for maintenance cleaning of lacquered wood floors where a degree of mechanical action is needed beyond what a soft pad provides — floors with heavier soiling, scuff marks, or surface dulling that routine mopping has not resolved. Non-abrasive at medium hardness, it cleans the lacquer surface without cutting into or dulling the finish.

Used with Arboritec Cleaner Concentrate diluted correctly the red pad restores the appearance of a lacquered floor between full maintenance cycles without the risk of finish damage that a harder pad would carry.

Pad Specification

Choosing the Right Pad

If a softer approach is needed — polishing, oil application, or buffing — step down to the Menzer White Floor Pad for polishing or the Menzer Beige Floor Pad for oiling and waxing.

If more mechanical action is needed — heavier soiling on non-sensitive surfaces, or carrying sanding mesh — step up to the Menzer Green Floor Pad for hard slightly abrasive cleaning or the Menzer Black Normal Pad for maximum aggression.
