Abstract
An improved low pressure low speed concrete polishing apparatus and method of cleaning and polishing a floor is used with a conventional rotary flooring machine. A polishing pad has interchangeable polymer strips that are slideably received within the housing of the pad. The polymer strips have an abrasive material embedded therein which collectively work to polish the floor while cleaning the floor during normal low speed floor cleaning conditions.

1-20. (canceled)
A method of polishing a floor using a floor cleaning machine comprising:
- operating the floor cleaning machine during low speed and low pressure conditions and rotating a first abrasive brush;
- and
- operating the flooring cleaning machine during low speed and low pressure conditions and rotating a second abrasive brush,
- wherein said brushes are progressively changed so as to provide a smoother floor finish.
A method of polishing a floor with a low pressure floor cleaning machine, comprising:
- rotating a first abrasive brush against a floor at a speed between approximately 150-200 revolutions per minute and at a pressure of between 125-200 pounds per square inch;
- and
- rotating a second abrasive brush against a floor at a speed between approximately 150-200 revolutions per minute and at a pressure of between 125-200 pounds per square inch,
- wherein the grit size of the second abrasive brush is finer than the grit size of the first abrasive brush.
A method of manufacturing an abrasive brush for use with a floor polishing machine, comprising:
- extruding a strip of material, the strip of material having a mounting portion and a distal end, the mounting portion having a geometric shape that permits the strip to be secured to said floor polishing machine;
- and
- applying an abrasive coating with a first grit size to the distal end of the strip,
- whereby said distal end of said strip is operable to engage a floor in a circular pattern as the floor polishing machine operates.
