Title: floor care
Post by: wilclean on June 01, 2008, 07:51:04 pm

Hi all

        I done a tiled floor last week - strip and sealed it, but because the shop owner had to go some where we couldnt put a shine on it. he called us out today to put the shine back on it but it didnt come up the way we wanted it i.e- shine wise. which is the best product to put a high shine on a tiled shop floor?

I use 25% solids high emulsion polish for a nice high shine usually Dysys or seldon although you are best to use the same product range as the seal.

Hi

   we used Johnson diversy carefree maintainer which is ment to seal and buff the floor to a gloss shine - we always use this as its never let us down yet, that was untill sunday. I did inspect the floor first before taking the job on and told the manager that it was a very old floor and that who ever tried to do the floor before they had never sealed the floor. I did notice that when we started the floor it dried reaqlly quick, quicker than usual but didnt think anythig of it.

Question: If floor tiles are very Porous does it take longer to shine up?

If this is the right then no wonder it took alot more tme to get a bit of a shine on the floor than usual.

Yes the state of the floor will make a difference.  If it is really old you may never get a decent shine on it, I'm sure it must look better than before though!

it looks miles better BUT hes wanting more of a shine - I've said that I'll see what I can do but keep reminding him thats an old floor and might not get the results he wants straight away and its going to take time.

What floor type do you have? Resilient (i.e Vinyl, Rubber, Thermoplastic, Linoleum etc), Wooden or stone?
