Terrazzo Floor Cleaning, Sealing &Restoration Experts from Bizaillion Floors have been restoring Terrazzo Floors for over 35 years. We specialize in terrazzo restoration, terrazzo cleaning, terrazzo polishing, terrazzo grout cleaning and Mexican tile restoration.

Terrazzo tiles have embedded chips of marble stones and other types of natural stones and cement which forms a substantial flooring surface. Terrazzo floors are sensitive and porous when not sealed correctly. Properly cleaning and maintenance can maintain the Terrazzo flooring’s brilliant shine and elegant look. The wrong cleaning solution or improper cleaning method applied to your Terrazzo floor could possibly pose problems or even permanent damage.

Here are a few pointers on keeping your terrazzo floor shine.

**Always remember that professional terrazzo floor cleaning procedures are the most optimal for keeping your floor’s brilliance. Give us a call at 281-894-7823 and let us handle all of your terrazzo floor restoration needs.

1. Always clean your terrazzo floors before polishing. Use a lightly dampened, clean-up mop mix a PH-neutral terrazzo tile cleaner and water to clean the entire terrazzo tile surface. Be sure to use a soft or microfiber mop to avoid any scratches.

2. Continue mopping until you are satisfied that all dirt and dust have been removed. Let your terrazzo floor dry completely before walking on it or placing any furniture back on top of it.

3. When you are satisfied that your terrazzo floor is thoroughly cleaned, choose a good terrazzo sealer. Apply the sealer with a proper applicator brush or perhaps a floor roller. Evenly spread the sealer, and let dry overnight.

4. Once your terrazzo floor dries, it is time for buffing. Buffing machines are available for rent or purchase. You will need to use a soft pad designed for polishing terrazzo tile. Choosing a ligh-colored pad will prevent your terrazzo tile from staining and discoloring.

5. Using an ample amount of polishing powder, use the buffer to run over your terrazzo tile floor. The powder will form into a muddy mixture, that is exactly what you want. The muddy mixture means that the powder is working into your terrazzo tile floor. Your goal is to have all of the powder absorbed into the flooring.

6. Clean up with a clean damp mop. Remove any leftover residue from the terrazzo polishing powder. If you are not satisfied with the results, you can keep buffing with the polishing powder and repeat the same steps.
