below is a few problems we've come across while cleaning floors, we've included what may be the cause of the problem and how it can be resolved.
FINISH IS TOO STICKY OR TACKY
|
|
CAUSE
|
SOLUTION
|
|
Not enough dry time between coats.
|
Under normal conditions, finishes dry in 30-45 High humidity will extend these dry times.
|
|
|
|
Restorer not properly diluted or applied too frequently.
|
Follow label instructions. Overuse can leave .sticky residue.
|
|
|
|
Restorer/maintainer not burnished soon enough after application
|
When dry, restorer/maintainer will continue to soften finish if not burnished.
|
|
|
|
Floor not properly rinsed before application of finish.
|
Thoroughly rinse and neutralize floor after stripping. Use neutral cleaner in proper dilution.
|
|
|
|
Improper use of disinfectants.
|
Measure carefully and follow label directions.
|
|
|
|
Separation of finish
|
Finish may have been exposed to prolonged heat or cold. Shake or stir before using.
|
|
|
|
Alkaline or detergent contaminated tile.
|
Make sure to rinse floor until pick-up water remains clear. When recoating, make sure no cleaner residue remains on floor - rinse with clean water to prevent problems.
|
|
|
|
Finish is applied too thick.
|
Apply thin coats and allow each coat to dry before applying the next coat.
|
|
|
|
FINISH SWIRLS OR SCRATCHES
|
|
CAUSE
|
SOLUTION
|
|
Pad too aggressive
|
Use the recommended pad for a particular task, whether it be burnishing or cleaning.
|
|
|
|
Pad is dirty or has build-up.
|
Clean with a wire brush or put pad in deep sink and spray off the build-up. Hang up to dry.
