UHS BURNISHING PROCEDURES<br />
DRY<br />
High speed burnishing is used <strong>to</strong> maintain a high gloss shine on floors.<br />
Chemicals<br />
• None<br />
<strong>Procedures</strong><br />
Equipment<br />
• Caution signs<br />
• High speed burnisher (1500 rpm or more)<br />
• Burnishing pads<br />
• Dust mop<br />
Burnishing should be performed only after performing general cleaning<br />
procedures with an au<strong>to</strong>scrubber. Failure <strong>to</strong> au<strong>to</strong>scrub will result in<br />
discoloration and increase the need for stripping operations.<br />
1. Assemble your equipment<br />
2. Post caution signs indicating which areas are being burnished.<br />
3. Attach the appropriate burnishing pad <strong>to</strong> burnisher. Consult your<br />
Zep field service rep for the correct pad for your program. Additional<br />
burnishing pads must be on hand.<br />
4. Make a steady pass over floor at a rate that provides a high gloss<br />
on only one pass. Do not allow burnisher <strong>to</strong> stand idle while it’s<br />
running.<br />
5. Change pad on burnisher when it becomes necessary.<br />
6. After entire area has been burnished, floor must be dry mopped.<br />
7. Clean equipment and return <strong>to</strong> its appropriate location.<br />
8. Remove caution signs.<br />
9. Note: After several dry burnishings it may be required <strong>to</strong> use a<br />
revitalizer <strong>to</strong> repair the finish and regain a ultra high gloss shine.<br />
