I work as a guard at a school. If you're dealing with flat floors and want to tone down the use of a stripper instead of a great cleaning product, this pad will make you very happy and make your job a whole lot easier. When you combine it with a squeegee... it's an excellent product that does an excellent job of removing even the most stubborn stains that form in classrooms from lead, school chairs on wheels, markers, etc. I'm a fan.
