Concrete and Asphalt
Applications
Removing Oil and Dirt
Greaselock ® Absorbent Powder effectively and safely cleans
concrete and asphalt without solvents. Greaselock
application is a natural mineral that absorbs and captures
oil and dirt so it can be safely discarded or rinsed away.
Equipment and Material Required:
• Orbiter ® Multi-Floor Machine
• Black Drive Pad Holder
• Greaselock ® Absorbent Powder
• Brown Strip Pad
• Orange Scrub Brush
Procedure:
To clean oil, dirt, mold and mildew from smooth concrete,
use the Greaselock Absorbent Powder and the brown strip
®
pad. To clean rough or uneven concrete or asphalt, use
Greaselock ® Absorbent Powder and the orange scrub
brush.
1. For fresh stains or spills that have not dried, use the
Greaselock ® Absorbent Powder as a dry powder. For
dry stains, add a little water during mixing or
scrubbing stage.
2. Liberally apply Greaselock
or area to clean, completely covering it. Allow five to
ten minutes to absorb for fresh stains, overnight for
dried stains.
3. Use the Orbiter ® Multi-Floor Machine and brown strip
pad or orange scrub brush to agitate the powder on
the floor. Mop or hose off floor if necessary.
See Greaselock ® Absorbent Powder packaging for
complete instructions.

Accessories

Oreck offers a full line of accessories to give you the tools
you need for the job!
Depending on the unit purchased, some of the accessories
below may be included with your Orbiter
Machine. All of these accessories are available at one of
our over 450 Oreck retail Stores or on our website,
www.oreck.com.
When choosing different pads and brushes for the
Orbiter , there is no exact science to selecting an
®
accessory for a particular floor. Bonnets are good for
surface cleaning most floor types. Pads are good for
scrubbing and polishing flat surfaces. Brushes work well
for getting into recesses in non-flat surfaces, like tile, where
the bristles can get into grout lines. When you choose an
accessory, remember you want one aggressive enough to
do the job but gentle enough not to damage the floor. Use
common sense. For example, do not use a brown strip
pad (aggressive) on a wood floor (soft floor). Start with
what is safe and move to a more aggressive accessory, if
needed.

Pads

Pads are designed to be porous and
open-weave (except the beige pad) so
that when it loosens dirt it can pick it
up. The dirt goes inside the pad (i.e. off
the floor). All pads can be turned over
and the other side used before cleaning
or disposing. Pads may be hosed off in
some instances and re-used.
The pads are color coded depending on how aggressive
they are (except for the beige marble pad): White is the
softest, followed by blue medium aggressive, and brown
being the most aggressive.
White Polish Pad
(least aggressive)
• Apply paste wax.
• Clean and polish wood (coated & uncoated),linoleum,
and laminate.
• Cleans all surfaces except stone.
