RESTORING PROCEDURES
Restoring is the process of rejuvenating ultra
high speed floor finishes with a restorer type of material. This material can be the
floor finish itself, cut to some degree with water and mopped on the floor. Or, it
may be a fully formulated secondary product which is also diluted with water and mopped on
the floor. After drying the restorer is then burnished. The purpose of the
restorative process is to remove scuff marks, restore gloss and add thermoplasticity to
the film.

Restoring Instructions
- Dust mop the floor using the dry cleaning procedures.
- Position wet floor signs.
- Always wear protective goggles and gloves when handling
cleaning chemicals.
- Wet clean the floor by damp mopping, wet
mopping or automatic scrubbing.
- Line the mop bucket with trash liner to eliminate the
possibility of contamination and to make clean up easier.
- Fill the mop bucket with RESTORER solution
following instructions on the product label.
- Dip wet mop (applicator) into finish and tamp out excess in
the wringer. Do not wring out the wet mop (applicator), it should be wet but not
dripping.
- Apply RESTORER to the floor in an
overlapping figure 8 motion.
- Allow to dry (usually 20-30 minutes). Floors are dry
when the coat is no longer tacky to the touch. Dry time will vary with temperature,
humidity and air flow conditions.
- Burnish the restored area with high speed burnisher equipped
with appropriate burnishing pad.
- Dust mop the floor to remove any loose debris.
- Remove wet floor signs.
