    Default Powered Scrubber

    i've got a geometric floor that needs a good scrubing. i've got some Aquamix HD tile and grout cleaner which with some elbow grease is making in roads on the tiles, but its a 8mtr hallway. Is there an attachment i can use on fein/angle grinder etc to make it easier?

    we use a floor buffer with 15inch pads seems to do the trick in most cases, you can hire them from most hire shops

    The Fein will be too slow and the angle grinder spins too fast. As Dave says a Variable speed grinder polisher is needed. I have had one of these for a while now and comes in useful for this type of work. VARIABLE SPEED CAR BOAT PAINT SANDER POLISHER gt on eBay (end time 27-Mar-11 2228 BST)
