Use and Care Guide

2. Thoroughly rinse the entire floor with
fresh, clean water. Remove rinse water and
allow it to dry completely.
3. If there is sufficient (3 to 5 coats) polish
remaining on the floor, buff, spray buff or
burnish to restore gloss.
4.
If needed, additional coats of floor polish
may be applied at this time.
D. Restorative Maintenance - Stripping
NOTE: The use of aggressive strippers such as mop-on/mop-off, no-scrub and no-rinse
strippers is not recommended on tile floors less than two years old because they may
affect the adhesive bond.
1. Mix stripping solution to the appropriate
dilution, depending on floor finish build-up.
Blockade areas to be stripped. Apply liberal
amounts of solution uniformly on floor with
mop. Let stripping solution soak for the
appropriate amount of time recommended
by the stripper manufacturer. Keep areas to
be stripped wet. Rewet if necessary.
2. Machine scrub the floor (300 rpm or less)
with a scrubbing pad (3M blue or equal) or
equivalent scrub brush to break up the
polish film.
Do not allow stripping solution
to dry on the floor.
3. Remove dirty stripping solution with a wet
vacuum or mop.
TIP: Drizzling fresh, clean
rinse water onto the dirty stripping
solution will assist with more thorough
removal.
4. Thoroughly rinse the entire floor with
fresh, clean water. Remove rinse water and
allow it to dry completely.
