The HT8 is a 10-inch hand-held trowel with a heavy-duty velcro face that turns any 10-inch hook-and-loop microfiber pad into a precise hand-scrubbing tool. Custodians and housekeepers use it for the cleaning that frames and poles cannot do well: spot-scrubbing scuffs on painted walls, wiping down desks and counters, detailing restroom partitions, and working tile or grout where you want body weight behind the pad.
Built for
Wall washing is the headline use. Load a damp wall-wash pad, work top to bottom, and peel the pad off for a fresh one when it loads up - no wringing sponges, no drips down your arm. Schools and offices use the HT8 on whiteboard ledges, lockers, and doors; healthcare housekeeping likes that pads can be laundered and color-coded by area. Painters reach for it with a dry pad to knock sanding dust off drywall between coats. It is also the natural partner for scrubber pads such as the green SM10GRE or blue SM10BLU when a melamine sponge is too soft and a scrub brush too harsh.
The design details earn their keep. The handle is raised about an inch and a half off the trowel face with a 4-inch grip, so your hand clears the surface and your push translates straight into the pad. One edge of the trowel is sharpened enough to scrape gum, labels, and dried spills without pulling out a separate putty knife.

Frequently asked questions
Which pads work with the HT8?
Any 10 inch velcro-backed (hook-and-loop) microfiber pad - wall-wash pads, premium wet pads, and scrubber pads such as the SM10GRE green and SM10BLU blue scrubber mops.
Can I use it wet and dry?
Yes. Use a damp pad with your usual cleaner for walls, counters, and tile; use a dry pad for dusting and for picking up sanding dust between paint coats.
How is this different from a wall-wash frame on a pole?
Same pads, different leverage. The pole frame covers large wall areas fast; the HT8 gives you hand-level control and pressure for spot work, edges, and detail scrubbing.
How long do the pads last?
Quality microfiber pads survive hundreds of launderings. Wash them with other microfiber, skip fabric softener and bleach, and they will outlast disposable wipes many times over.
