Scrub & Recoat
If floor is heavily soiled or if intended to be re-coated,
changing to a more aggressive pad (agitation)
will aid in soil removal. Increasing amount of time
cleaner is allowed to remain on floor provides more
effective cleaning. Follow label instructions for water
temperature and concentration of cleaner.
7. Liberally apply Scrub & Recoat cleaning solution on floor.
Under most conditions do not work an area larger than 10’
x 10’. For difficult areas, e.g. grouted tile, work in smaller
areas.
8. For heavy-build-up, allow Scrub & Recoat solution to
remain on floor for 5 minutes.
9. Ensure a blue pad is attached to the floor machine. Make
two to three passes over each are with floor machine and
overlapping as you go to avoid pass-lines.
10. Pick-up slurry with wet pick-up vacuum or with mop.
11. Rinse floor with clean water and Neutral Conditioner using
a clean mop head. Apply liberal amount of water and pick
up with vacuum or mop.
12. After floor has dried, rub your hand over it to check for
residue. If residue is found, rinse floor again. Check pH of
floor using pH test strips and inspect floor carefully before
recoating.
13. Once floor is properly prepared using Steps 3-12, application
of maintenance coats of finish is required. Rule
of Thumb: Light scrub 1 coat; medium scrub 2 coats;
heavy scrub 2-3 coats. Note: One coat along the edges is
sufficient.
14. Clean all equipment and return to its appropriate area.
Note: Do not remove wet floor signs until floor is dry.
1. Assemble your equipment
2. Remove any freestanding objects from the floor. Vacuum walk-off
mats and set aside.
3. Dust mop entire floor making note of any potential problem areas.
Remove any gum or debris that may be stuck to the floor. Caution:
Be careful not to gouge floor with putty knife.
4. Put on appropriate safety gear.
5. Step 6 Scrub & Recoat is not automatically dispensed, mix chemicals
in accordance with label directions. Use tepid water because hot
water may remove too much finish. Note: Hot water may be used if
coating is heavily damaged.
6. Post wet floor signs to indicate to traffic which areas are being
worked on.
