TERRAZZO MAINTENANCE

DO'S AND DON'TS
DO sweep or vacuum your floors daily, this not only picks up dust, but also the grit tracked into
your building.
DO use maintenance products designed for terrazzo and of good quality
DO use a cleaning contractor with experience in terrazzo
DO ask for advice if unclear about your maintenance regime
DO monitor the level of sealer on your floor and adjust the frequency of sealer finish coats
accordingly.
DO mechanically buff your floor with a white pad to bring out the shine from your polish.
DO wipe up any spills immediately as whilst the sealer protects the floor, this is only for a period of
time most stains if left alone will penetrate though the sealer and stain your floor which in most
cases will require professional removal.
DON'TS
DON'T use all purpose cleaners or soaps containing soluble inorganic or crystallizing salts, alkali
or acids. Use of such products could be harmful to your terrazzo floor.
DON'T try miracle cleaners or sealers on your floor without getting an opinion from a terrazzo
professional.
DON'T cut corners with your cleaning regime. Maintaining your terrazzo is far better than
neglecting it requiring costly regrinding or replacement long before time.
DON'T use dirty mops and buckets. They will only spread dirt and grime around the floor.
