Thanks for your reply. What pressure do you suggest I set my machine to?

Hello everyone, hope you're all safe and sound. I don't really do cleaning and sealing without resurfacing but I have a large job coming up and have a few questions. The floor consists of approximately 3500 sq ft of Eramosa limestone. The hotel owner is requesting to have it cleaned and sealed...

Hey guys. What are you using to remove salt stains on interlock? Thanks!

Multiple houses a day, yes find a bathroom when you're on the road. If your jobs are taking the full day, I don't see anything wrong with taking a dump.

Removing wax from grout can be a pain too. You will have to diamond grind with tons and tons of stripper. Being that it's been the stone had probably cracked and chipped in areas. This sounds like a $10,000+ job. Don't bit off more than you can chew.

Yes. But it's not magic you will still need to use your razor blades!

This is a granite pic. With marble you'll most likely be doing some resurfacing once you remove the hard water and scum.

I find the steamer doesn't get it super clean. Is it sufficient enough as you're colour sealing anyway?

What steamer do you use?

I have a heritage house that a client of mine would like cleaned. It was in a fire so there is some soot damage. I focus on stone restoration but this is a good client of mine so I would like to do the job. I have a 3500 4gpm belt drive landa pw. What products do you recommend and what about...

I would still grind with 400 resin after acid wash. Acid leaves the floor too rough.

Not polishing but they are great for patina and honed finishes. Grind with 400 and maybe 800 resin first.

A clear polish with good clarity? How is that possible without crystalizing?

I've been hearing guys go from 400 resin to polish. How is that possible?

I think 400 resin would get rid of the etches and surface wear. Grind flat as in no lippage and metal grind?

We usually do small residential job or commercial, nothing ever close to this size. 6700 square feet of limestone at the Mandarin head office and flagship banquet hall. I've attached some pictures. Various cracks some hairline, others a bit larger. Traffic areas will need a grind. At least...

Anyone use these types of pads? I got the Clarke square oscillator. Here's one made of astroturf http://www.cleanfreak.com/equipment/floor-supplies/pads/scrubbing/14x20-inch-green-turf-pad.html Here's another one http://www.parish-supply.com/square-strip-tile-grout-cleaning-pads.aspx

I hear you can apply color clad with a white pad and orbital with a light rinse with an extractor. The seal only bonds to the grout and will come off the tile easily. Anyone try this method? It would be great for a large area.

Stone scrub by Stone pro. Removal of hard water stains and soap scum. I used my makita and a white pad.

A sold house!! Potential buyers will notice the floor or surface being destroyed and may not know it can be restored. Walking into a home and thinking you got to replace the floor deter potential buyers.

I'm just stuck. Do I include all the services. Maybe I should make more than one dedicating certain brochures for certain clientele.

Lithofin impregnator. Hands down.
