IVc. Periodic Maintenance – Spray Buff Maintenance

1. Follow the procedures listed prior to thoroughly cleaning the oor.

2. Spray buff using a rotary machine (175 to 600 rpm) with the appropriate pad and spray buff solution.

3. Regular and Periodic Maintenance should be performed as described above.

NOTE: For both Polishing method and Spray Buff method, it may become necessary to remove polish build-up by stripping the oor.

The use of high-quality maintenance products and adherence to a well-planned maintenance program will greatly reduce the need for

stripping. Should stripping become necessary, follow the procedures outlined below.

V. Restorative Maintenance – Stripping & Polishing

NOTE: The use of aggressive strippers such as mop-on/mop-off, no-scrub and no-rinse strippers are not recommended on tile oors

less than 2 years old because they may affect the adhesive bond.

1. Mix stripping solution to the appropriate dilution. Block off areas to be stripped. Apply solution as recommended by the

stripper manufacturer.

2. Machine scrub the oor (300 rpm or less) with a scrubbing brush (aggressiveness equivalent to 3M blue pad) to break up the

polish lm. Do not allow stripping solution to dry on the oor.

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 a more thorough removal. Thoroughly rinse the entire oor with fresh, clean water. Remove rinse

water and allow the oor to dry completely.

4. Based on the selected maintenance option above, do one of the following:

5. If maintaining with the Polish Option, apply 3 to 5 coats of high-quality commercial oor polish.

6. If maintaining with the Spray Buff Option, spray buff using a rotary machine (175 to 600 rpm) with the appropriate pad and

spray buff solution.
