What Is Agar Scrub ‘N’ Shine?
Agar Scrub ‘N’ Shine is a powerful detergent for polished floors with a useful 2-in-1 action: it cleans the floor and replenishes the surface with hard-wearing polish at the same time. It is designed for use with UHS (ultra-high-speed) buffers as well as standard 440-1000rpm machines.
Key Benefits of Agar Scrub ‘N’ Shine
- 2-in-1 product that cleans and polishes in one step
- Increases the gloss of floors and removes scratches
- Regular use prolongs the life of the polish film and maintains a glossy surface
- Designed for UHS buffers as well as 440-1000rpm machines
- Cuts costs by stretching out the interval between strip-backs
- Low foaming
- Helps stop black marks, dirt pick-up and powdering
How Does Agar Scrub ‘N’ Shine Work?
Agar Scrub ‘N’ Shine washes the floor clean and simultaneously applies floor polish in one step. The polish applied helps replenish the floor’s coating of polish, which is gradually worn away by foot traffic. The floor is then buffed and quickly yields a super-glossy shine, with a film that is very glossy and has excellent depth. It is diluted with water before use and applied using one of three methods:
| Method | Dilution |
| Autoscrubbing | Dilute Scrub ‘N’ Shine at 1:80 to 1:100 with water |
| Damp-mopping | Dilute Scrub ‘N’ Shine at 1:40 to 1:80 with water |
| Spray-buff | 1:15 to 1:50 with water |
For autoscrub or damp-mop application, do not rinse after cleaning ‑ allow to dry, then buff.
What Surfaces Can Agar Scrub ‘N’ Shine Be Used On?
Any polished floor, from timber and vinyl to terrazzo, ceramic and quarry tiles, gains from a treatment with Agar Scrub ‘N’ Shine.
