These photographs are taken from an old Terrazzo floor in the kitchen of a house in the famous market town of Market Harborough, the floor was looking rather old & tired looking and really overdue a deep clean to remove dirt, grease from the floor and being a hard polished stone it would also need to be burnished to restore the appearance of the this beautiful Terrazzo Floor.
To resolve we deep cleaned the beautiful Terrazzo Tiled floor by applying a strong dilution of our supreme cleaning product which was left to soak in for a good 15 minutes before being worked in using a rotary machine, fitted with a scrubbing pad which works amazing with this kind of work, 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 step was to strip back the surface of the Terrazzo Floor so it could be polished after the clean, 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 started with the coarse pad which can remove dirt, sealers and other coatings before moving onto the medium, fine and brilliant fine pads which polish the floor and bring up the surface, the pads use a little bit of water which needs to be rinsed away after each pad followed by a thorough rinse at the end of the process.
At this exact stage we would normally be waiting for the floor to completely be dried 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.
