Polished Concrete Floors are already a preferred choice for a lot of consumers ,be they from industrial or business sector, and now these are beginning to be patronized by homeowners also. It’s not only because of the stunning looks, but the durability factor too, that is being recognized by the consumers and encouraging its applications.
A polished granite floor is a finished floor and needs to be treated like one. They offer low resistance to chipping and scratching, and may get stained if not treated with one of the present day polishes.
It is essential that these floors be kept clean and to use walk off mats at all entrances. The use of walk off mats pays for itself by keeping away from the floor harmful dust and salts and thus minimizing maintenance.
Daily cleaning by a dust mop, preferably a micro-fiber mop, is very helpful to having continually beautiful floors for a long time. If circumstances demand the use of a damp mop, it should be moistened with a neutral cleaner that may be procured from a home improvement or a janitor supply store and one doesn’t really need anything beyond that for cleaning of a polished concrete floor. But, mind you, the use of inappropriate cleaning agents can harm the floor and may cause it to lose its shine.
The floors of a large warehouse or an industrial unit can be effectively cleaned by making use of an auto-scrubber that saves time. Several polishing supply companies are now manufacturing buffing pads that have diamonds in varying grits impregnated into the pads. This allows the owner of these floors to quickly restore the shine to their floors with minimal work.
A very positive feature of electric floor scrubbers is that they are very easy to operate and not too heavy to be carried on back. They are simple to operate and easy to push, requiring very little maintenance: all you need to do is to fill it up with water and chemicals, and drain it out after cleaning.
Only white pads need to be used on an auto scrubber for the purpose of normal cleaning.
