We looked at the floor and had to take a picture due to this been a really challenging but not impossible job on this old Terrazzo floor in the kitchen of a house the tiny small town of Coalville, the Terrazzo floor was looking awful in much needed professional help, overdue a exceptional clean to remove dirt and grease from the floor and being a hard polished stone it would also need to be burnished to restore the appearance of the Terrazzo.
To solve the issue of cleaning this challenging floor, we deep cleaned the floor by applying a strong dilution of our supreme cleaning product which was left to soak in for a good fifteen minutes before being worked in using a rotary machine, fitted with a scrubbing pad, the cleaning solution soon became soiled as the dirt was lifted out of the floor and this was removed with a wet vacuum and the floor then rinsed with water thoroughly.
The next stage to get best out of this floor, was to strip back the surface of the Terrazzo so it could be polished. This is done using a set of diamond encrusted burnishing pads which come in a set of four grades sytstems from Coarse to Super Fine.
We got started with the coarse pad which can remove dirt, sealers and other coatings before moving onto the medium, fine and super fine pads which polish the floor and bring up the surface.
The great pads use a little water which needs to be rinsed away after each pad followed by a thorough rinse at the end of the process.
At this stage we would normally wait for the floor to completely dry and then seal it using a product recommended for the particular surface, location and desired appearance however on this occasion the owner was happy to leave the floor the way it was so we were able to complete the job in a single day sometimes does take longer.
