Terrazzo Floor Restoration Boca Raton

Restoring Terrazzo Boca Raton

When your terrazzo has been worn and damaged over the years, there are things you can do to restore the terrazzo yourself and bring back its vibrant color and shine. Everything must be moved from the work area and make sure nothing covers the terrazzo such as mats or carpets. From there, the terrazzo should be cleaned with a cleaner specifically for terrazzo thoroughly so no dirt or dust mixes and interferes with the later process. If your terrazzo has a coating such as wax, a stripper is needed to remove it. Once the stripper has been applied successfully, use cleaner with a clean mop to get rid of the dissolved wax and dry. If damages such as stains and scratches were superficial, then it would have been removed with the coating. If the stain persists, try to identify what type of substance caused the stain such as coffee or wine and match it with the correspondent poultice. For scratches, grab a sponge and with baking soda gently but consistently buff the affected area until the scratches disappear.

If the scratch marks are even deeper, you may have to use polishing powder and with an electronic grinder grind and buff they are until the scratches are gone. After this, fill any holes your terrazzo may have with the proper epoxy or cementitious base and corresponding aggregate chips. Once the mixture hardens, use a grinder to smooth out the patch until it is thoroughly blended in. All that’s left is to add polishing powder graded for terrazzo and use a wet polisher around ten times per row. Apply a sealer or wax as instructed by the product label buff it out with an electronic buffer and you should have a beautifully restored and sparkling terrazzo that looks several years younger and will continue to do so for many years to come. Keep in mind that repairing terrazzo yourself is not advised unless you have sufficient experience.
