Maintenance:

Floorazzo is manufactured from natural marble, granite or quartz aggregate in a flexible resin matrix. Although the tile is delivered in a highly-polished state, the tile is not pre-coated with a factory finish; therefore, they should be protected with construction paper or other suitable material to prevent any damage until construction is completed and thorough cleaning and sealing procedures are implemented.

Do not begin initial maintenance for a minimum of 72 hours after installation is complete. This is to assure the adhesive has had sufficient time to dry and cure.

Initial Cleaning / Sealing
1. Remove all surface soil, debris, sand and grit by sweeping, dust mopping or vacuuming.
2. Scrub floor with a neutral pH (7-8.5) detergent, such as TASKI R50 or equivalent.

Apply cleaning solution with a mop and bucket using as little water as possible. DO NOT saturate the floor.

Scrub with a rotary scrubber or automatic scrubber with scrubbing pad.

Pick up solution with a wet-vac.

Rinse with clean water and allow floor to dry thoroughly.
3.Apply two (2) coats of floor sealer such as TASKI “Undercover”, Johnson Wax Plaza Plus or equivalent.

Apply sealer with a clean finish mop or finish applicator. NOTE: take care to get the sealer into the tile joints.

Allow first coat to thoroughly dry (at least 30 minutes) before applying second coat.

Apply second coat in opposite direction of first coat.

4.Apply 2-3 coats of floor finish such as TASKI “Brilliant” or equivalent.

Apply finish with a clean finish mop or finish applicator. Allow 30 minutes dry time between coats.

Daily / Regular Maintenance
1. Remove all surface soil, debris, sand and grit by sweeping or dust mopping.

Option 1 – dry maintenance method (preferred) Spray clean, using a rotary buffing machine with appropriate pad and spray clean / burnishing solution such as TASKI “Ultraspray” or equivalent.

Option 2 - wet maintenance method Use neutral pH (7-8.5) cleaner such as TASKI R50 or equivalent. When using automatic scrubber or disc machine, use scrubbing pad.
2. When using a mop and bucket, change solution regularly.
3. Do not saturate the floor, use as little water as possible.

Restorative Maintenance
1. Remove all surface soil, debris, sand and grit by sweeping, dust mopping or vacuuming.
2. Strip old finishes from floor surface

Do not use high pH stripers

Use rotary scrubber or automatic scrubber with stripping pad and striper solution.

Use as little water as possible; do not saturate the floor.

Use more mechanical action than chemical to remove old finishes.

Pick up solution with wet vac.

Rinse with clean water two times and wet vac up solution.
