Tronman 14 Report post Posted April 9, 2006 I had a hard time cleaning a ceramic tile with pits in it. It is a slightly rough ceramic tile. It is in a steel shipping and cutting plant. They track grease into the office area on a daily basis. I tried every type of brush on my circular floor machines but they only cleaned the high points of the tile. I tried out a Karacher Vario dual cylinder floor machine. One the first pass no one could believe it. The tile looked like brand new. All the grease from the pits was gone. I used a non-Butyl degreaser and the black bristle drums. It sold me. The machine cost me about $1800 with the two black drums. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher 102 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 Hello Ken, Do you have any pictures of the floor machine? What about names of your cleaner? I have had a couple of calls but not sure the best way to go about this. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Kiser 14 Report post Posted May 23, 2006 I am testing the vario right now myself, why did u use the black brushes?? The red brushes are uneven in length and makes it easier getting into the pits. But it is an awsome machine, I love the handle turning 360 and the way it collapses.

Tronman 14 Report post Posted August 15, 2006 The black bristles are much better at getting into the tiny holes and grooves. I have a set of the red brushes also and they do not work as well. I tried using them for striping floors but the Vario does not have the weight that a floor machine does. I am going to use my Vario tonight to scrub restroom floors in a machine shop. Here is a pic of one of my guys using the Vario right up next to the edge of the wall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The red brushes are for t&g, that is what I use any way with the weight on the front I don't use the water tank. The black or the grey one is for stripping and the other one is for concrete, if I remember correctly. Man I love mine!!! What are u cleaning the T&G with??
