Because it is a compilation of materials, the care of concrete needs to be balanced with the
care of marble.
There are a number of ways that your floor can be cared for.
At the times when dirt has found it's way beyond the surface and normal cleaning methods will
not work, the concrete could use an acid etching. We would not recommend that this be
done by someone not trained for this job. Muriatic acid is dangerous and can be harmful to
people, plants, and animals. Proper procedure and care is essential.
Diamond Grinding is used to remove problems before a finish is applied, but is also a major
factor in how much of a shine and smoothness will be considered it's character.
care of marble.
There are a number of ways that your floor can be cared for.
- A good sweeping followed if necessary by a microfiber pad for daily general cleaning.
- Sometimes just water and a mop will give it back it's luster.
- Dried grime and grease will remove with a mild detergent. It is also possible that a
stronger detergent or chemical will be needed for more stubborn dirt. - A nylon scrubbing pad can be used in combination with water or detergent; we use a
rotary buffer. - High pressure water cleaning with our truck mounted system will ensure that the most
difficult stains are cleaned and lifted.
