The Blog of terrazzo floor care cleaning and stone colonial!
This is the first post of my favorite subject terrazzo floor -. I hope you find it useful and informative.
When I get home from one person to conduct a consultation / estimate, the owners often ask if I can clean your terrazzo floors. This can be a difficult question. Let me explain.
When almost all the terrazzo floors were originally installed 50 years ago, were ground down flat to the floor level. The next step was to apply a sealer or wax to give an appearance of high shine. The problem with this method is that the sealant or wax always turns yellow. The person responsible for the care of the plant had to periodically strip and wax the floor again. Over time, the maintenance process was ignored, and the sealant or wax was put on the top sealer or wax. The old coats of sealer or wax, then turned yellow. It was fashionable during the 70s to cover these stories with yellow carpet, instead of restoring them. When the new owners removed these obsolete carpets, often found discolored and damaged the floors below. Since most of these 50 years of age + story never had the full restoration, cleaning alone will not eliminate the yellow tint. This is particularly so when the staining has occurred.
If you just bought a house and found his terrazzo floor was not stained or damaged, you could bring to a high luster with only the removal and application of a pair layers of sealer and wax. However, if discoloration and / or holes, this method is not possible. Not only holes to be very unpleasant if they are not repaired but you have to strip and wax the floor periodically on an ongoing basis. Ask anyone who grew up in Florida to strip these floors. It is hard work! The room has to be emptied, chemicals applied, and time must be allotted for drying.
With today's technology, once the floor is completely restored and polished, powder, there is no longer shooting and wax. The glow will last for 10 or more years!
Ask around town colonial on floor care. People will tell you that our last shine for many years.

Many people, especially those new to South Florida, are not exactly sure what is terrazzo.
