    plasplugs made a small one, someone gave me theirs as it was sitting in their garage doing nothing

    I used it a few times but being small the water needed changing too much , better off with a bucket and sponge

    A good investment really, it can leave a really good finish and quite quickly too with a half decent washboy let alone a good one.

    the quality of the rollers primarily. You can put plenty of pressure on them without them buckling or sticking

    If its a small floor probably better off with a sponge. Depends on what you call a small floor, for some of the guys on here a small floor is 30 mts.
