Americo Porko Plus Ultra High Speed Burnishing Floor Pad - High Gloss

In this review the Americo Porko Plus Ultra High Speed Burnishing Floor Pad is evaluated for janitorial pros and facilities managers who need a reliable pad to polish finishes to a high gloss. The bottom line: this 19in pad is built to deliver fast, repeatable burnishing on medium to hard finishes and is ideal for machines up to 3000 rpm. The reviewer found it particularly useful where regular burnishing schedules are in place and where durability and green materials matter.

Key Features

• 19in diameter: Sized for common commercial burnishers so coverage is efficient and compatible with many 19in floor machines.
• Ultra high speed burnishing: Designed to polish floor finish to a high gloss at machine speeds up to 3000 rpm for quick, noticeable results.
• Medium to hard finishes: Optimized for harder finishes so it maintains gloss without overly abrading common commercial finishes.
• Dual-sided design: Can be used on both sides to extend pad life and reduce changeovers on the job.
• Recycled fiber construction: Made of 100% recycled polyester and natural fibers with water based resins, providing a greener option for maintenance teams.
• Made in the USA: Domestic manufacture supports consistent quality and supply for professional cleaning operations.

Who It's For

Facility maintenance crews, commercial cleaning contractors, and schools or hospitals with regular high-speed maintenance routines will benefit most from this burnishing pad. Its construction and compatibility with machines up to 3000 rpm make it a practical choice when the goal is routine high-gloss upkeep rather than restoration work.

Those who need a pad for soft or restorative finishes, or who run burnishers at substantially lower speeds, should consider other pad types intended for low-speed buffing or stripping. This pad is not a stripping pad and is best used strictly for burnishing and polishing tasks.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Durable recycled fiber composition that holds up under high-speed burnishing.
• Dual-sided use extends service life and reduces consumable costs.

• Proudly made in the USA, supporting domestic quality control and supply.

Cons

• Not intended for soft finishes or for restorative stripping tasks, limiting versatility to burnishing/polishing.
