They worked on a perfectly flat floor with no dips, humps, imperfections. Most retail location tile floors do not have a perfectly flat floor. results were blotchy. Plus, in grocery stores, there are always spills/stains, tons of edges and corners to clean too.
They did work in small exam rooms and such.
I also had problems with low/high spots with them. At first I would just make a second pass, kind of spot clean, after it was dry. Then I started using the thin, super strip black pads between the maroon pad and machine. Took care of the problems with low spots. I've also found good and bad as far as quality in the product/manufacturer.
Corners and edges still require cans of the stripper spray from my experience. I do it first just to get it out of the way.
I never use Ecolab products. I learned my lesson.
