Pads work better than brushes for scrubbing VCT. Brushes work great on ceramic tile and grout, and they do an adequate job on carpet, but they're not so hot on VCT. I'd love to sell you a Sprint, but it's not gonna work as well as a machine with a pad on a VCT floor.

can you recomend a small auto scrubber...I currently use a 17" floor machine and a wet vac...any normal size auto scrubber would be too big in these small offices

Tom,

The Sprint could work if you're in a really tight area. I actually don't know of any other auto-scrubber that would be as small and compact. Like I said, pads will scrub better, but if the size is that tight, the Sprint may just be a reasonable option. After all, the Sprint scrubs like crazy. I just prefer pads over brushes for VCT.

If A 17 inch auto scrubber will not do
then get the Sprint.
I have used it on VCT floors in my Kitchen and in one car dealer just to have fun.

It worked well and stuff came out great.

North American puts out a 17" autoscrubber that will fit into the trunk of your car. I have heard excellent reviews about it. There is an electric model or one with gel battery. Go to www.nacecare.com and look for the TT3450
