Pad Life and Coverage Calculator

A handful of pads. The pad cost is now a line in the bid rather than a rounding error, so record the area the last pad actually cleaned against this figure.

The pad count follows the pad life entered, and pad life is a measured figure for one machine, one floor and one pass. Stripping, gritty soil and a heavy wet pick-up all shorten it, while a clean floor and light scrubbing extend it. This is a planning figure for the values entered, not a measured result. Coverage rates, product yields and application rates are properties of a specific product, applicator and substrate, and the label or data sheet for the product you are using always takes precedence over the default here. Cost covers the chemical only, at the price entered. It excludes labour, equipment, applicators, consumables, freight, storage, waste disposal and any over-pour that the allowance does not capture.
