SPECIAL CLEANING QUESTIONS OR CIRCUMSTANCES
SUGGESTED REMEDY
|
Tiles will look very dull and will pick up tracked soil easily if OGR has been subjected to any of the following:
- Over scrubbing , over concentration of cleaner, solvent or acid spill, & overly stiff or abrasive brush or pad
To help restore the tile to its normal luster and condition, please follow these instructions:
- Tiles must be scrubbed clean with Auto Clean or pH neutral cleaner.
- With a mop, apply a one to one mixture of Taski Wi-wax evenly onto the cleaned tile.
- Normal will not require the use of floor finishes. OGR’s internal waxes can be enhanced by dry brushing.
