Revitalize Floor Finish

Multiple coats of floor finish create a smooth protective coating. The smooth coating reflects the light, creating a glossy appearance. Over time, soil and grit create pits and grooves in the coating. The pits and grooves trap dirt and soil deflecting the light and lowering gloss levels, making the floor look dull and dirty.  To extend the life of a floor coating, Hillyard recommends an interim process to revitalize the floor’s appearance. By scrubbing with a floor machine with an aggressive pad, custodians can remove one to two layers of floor finish, along with the embedded dirt and scratches in those layers. After the floor is clean and dry, apply a few new coats of floor finish restoring the level of gloss and protection. 

With regular interim maintenance, facility managers can keep their floors looking great and delay a complete strip and recoat of the floor for well over a year, saving time and money. Depending on traffic levels and patterns in a facility, interim maintenance may be needed multiple times per year. Initially, add an annual deep scrub and recoating process to your floor maintenance plan and increase the frequency if required.
