What attatchments do I need to...

Clean tile and grout, strip and wax VCT, & clean carpet with a Cimex and what is the price tag for the accessories? Just trying to get a ball park figure for next quarters planning. Thanks in advance. I have the assortment of tools needed with my current equipment, just looking to up grade.

The appropriate brushes for the Cimex as far as Tile and grout.
But still a grout brush, hand held and the blue kind that goes onto a pole.
...

and I would still want to have a rotary for the VCT,, even though I use the Cimex to strip too. Its a combo of both tools that makes me more comfie in that floor sector.

and of course,, both gray and beige FP pads for carpet cleaning. I have never used the brushes YET for carpets. pads are better IMO>

Just a FEW of the Cimex attachments

1) The standard beige FiberPlus pads are ideal for all types of carpet. They're well suited for scrubbing carpets with the correct degree of agitation. And they enable you to disperse the detergent evenly thereby using less detergent than brushes.

2) The Gray FiberPlus Max pads are about 20% more aggressive, but they don't last quite as long as the standard FiberPlus. They can also be used for light cleaning of hard flooring such as VCT.

3) The Lightning stripping pads are amazing for stripping VCT floors with the Cimex. It's a mean stripping combo!

4) The soft 4807 brushes are extremely soft and are ideal for wool rugs.

5) The 4805 brushes are firm and are a good brush for tile and grout.

6) There are also 4803 brushes made of polypropylene bristles that are a little stiffer than the 4805 brushes.

7) There's also a Nylo Grit stripping brush for aggressive scrubbing of concrete and floor stripping.

8) Then we move up to the steel wire brush designed for light scarifying, and the removal of rubber carpet backing, grease, oil, wax, dried paint, ice, etc.

This is just a partial list. There are many options available for the Cimex machines.
