We have a commercial account with a large condo complex (cleaning hallways mainly). Once a year we clean their entry tiled areas, 3 per building on 5 buildings. Results in about 15 different setup and teardowns to reach each one. The areas are not heavily soiled.

Looking for some input from guys on what pads or brushes to use on a cimex and what chems to look at using. If this is possible it would make this a much more simple task. Thanks!

Sorry I didn't see this post previous. We do VLM on tile. It's actually required for jobs in the shops in casinos.

Use a 175 with the blue bristles along with Viper Venom. Rinse w water in a pump sprayer and some sort of ph n product. Wetvac it up and done. Bring a grout scrubber with you just incase. If grout lines are bad we also bring in a CRB with red or black bristles and that will take care of that.

We also mop at the end so there is no streaking with a fiber mop and CHS all purpose cleaner. I know a wet vac sounds ghetto but it's easy to load. We also bring this if we don't have to go upstairs. Power flite can suck!

Thanks Will, I think a procedure like you've described will be a bit more efficient for the job we have coming up. Perfect timing on the post, we go to do the job this Wednesday.
