Description
Top Italian quality modular sponge floats system, recommended for floor cleansing after grouting jobs.
The base module supports an aluminium handle – available separately – allowing contractors to operate while standing, and is reusable countless times.
Beneath the base module replaceable sponge floats are installed, available either with beige or high absorbtion sponges, both recommended for concrete-based grouts cleansing. The base module’s steel structure makes it virtually impervious to the pressure usually applied from above, making it much more resistant and long lasting compared to cheaper plastic alternatives.

About cleansing concrete-based grouts…
Concrete-based grouts
Concrete-base grout – the most commonly used one for joint grouting – is soluble in cold water. The classic procedure to remove its residues from tiles after grouting consists in rubbing tiles with a sponge, repeatedly rinsing it in clear water.
Absorbtion and quality
On even raw material quality category conditions, the difference between a beige (sometime called “havana”, “soft” or “tilers”) sponge and a high-absorbtion (or “sweepex”, or “white”) sponge stays in its hydrophilia, that is, in the material’s capability to absorb water. The higher the sponge absorbtion index, the easier and faster will water rinsing operations be.
Rinsing and squeezing systems
The task of repeatedly rinsing and squeezing floor floats during operations is greatly facilitated by mechanincal tools designed on-purpose, such as the lever-based mechanism on Ghelfi F.051 washboy kit, or the pedal-based mechanisms included on Ghelfi F.044/C and F.053 “FENOMEN” washboy kits.
