Preparing
Wood floors |
| |
Using the Auto-Scrubber
Method (moderate finish buildup/some pealing/ heavily
soiled and marked) |
| |
|
| |
Most wood floors can be brought back to
a like-new condition with a deep scrub and recoat process,
eliminating the difficult and time consuming tasks of
sanding, re-striping, and applying multiple coats of seal
and finish. On floors with moderate finish buildup, some
peeling, and/or a heavily soiled or marked surface, the
following Auto-scrubber method will be ideal.

STEP 1
Remove tape, labels, and gum with a razor
scraper or putty knife. Ange the blade so
you do not damage the finish. Sticker and
label residue can be removed with Elky Pro®
Maximum Orange. |
STEP 2
Dust mop the floor.
|
| |
|
 |
 |
STEP 3
Fill Auto Scrubber reservoir or mop bucket
with Elky Pro® Orange Clean N' Shine diluted
8 ounces per gallon. |
STEP 4
Liberally apply solution to floor through
the auto scrubber (with brushes up and vacuum
off) or with mop. Let the solution dwell for
approximately five minutes. Keep solution
area to about 1,000 square feet. |
| |
|
 |
|
STEP 5
Double scrub the floor with auto-scrubber
equipped with blue or black pads. Be sure
to flip or change pads as they pick up soil. |
STEP 6
When the entire floor is clean, double rinse
the floor with the auto-scrubber equipped
with red pads using Elky Pro® Kwik Clean
Nuetral Cleaner.
|
| |
|
|
|
STEP 7
Inspect the floor. It should be dull and clean.
Trace amounts of white residue from the previous
finish are OK. If large amounts are present,
rinse the floor again. Let the floor completely
dry before finish application |
