Minuteman - Heavy Nylon Brush - 180 Grit A/S - Grey (Item #7951-05)

Key Benefits

The Minuteman Heavy Nylon Brush with 180-grit is specifically engineered for high-performance floor maintenance in demanding commercial and industrial environments. The grey nylon bristles are embedded with 180-grit abrasive particles, allowing the brush to aggressively remove old floor finishes, stubborn dirt, and embedded grime. Its heavy-duty construction ensures durability and long-lasting performance, making it ideal for repeated use in industrial settings.

This brush is perfect for facilities that require deep cleaning or periodic stripping of floors to maintain professional standards. The combination of nylon flexibility and abrasive grit ensures powerful cleaning while maintaining control and consistency during operation. It allows maintenance teams to work efficiently, reducing cleaning time and achieving superior results.

Why It Matters

In industrial and high-traffic commercial environments, standard brushes often fail to remove tough soils and old finish layers. Heavy-duty nylon brushes like the 180-grit Minuteman model are designed to address these challenges. By providing strong scrubbing action with precise control, this brush restores floor surfaces to a clean, even state, reducing the need for repeated passes and improving overall workflow.

Using the correct brush for stripping and deep cleaning is essential to protect floor surfaces and maximize the life of your floor care equipment. This brush allows operators to remove old coatings safely, preparing floors for re-coating or refinishing, and ensuring a professional, streak-free finish.
