Marble Bathrooms

by Mark on December 15, 2009

    Awhile ago quoted a job,  ensuite walls and floors, bathroom floor and toilet floor. This was a reversal from the normal work. The difference being that the floors were highly polished and the architect wanted honed (Flat unpolished) surface for the floors.

     Firstly hand sanded the floors with a 120 grit wet and dry sanding disc. This removed the scratches and flattened the marble floor tiles. Then 320 grit sanded the marble floors. Looking good but not finished, we then scrubbed the floors with a good quality marble cleaner. We used S4S marble cleaning product. This is a top quality stone cleaner that cleans and neutralises  the marble. After wet vac drying the  waste from marble it  is ready to seal once a drying period has elapsed (about 1 to 1.5 hrs)

  Applied two coats of a good quality sealant. looked great and the client was very happy. Left them with a maintenance schedule and some S4S marble cleaner.

porcelain and grout cleaning

by Mark on December 14, 2009

             Had to do a sample clean today.128 units, all 4 bedroom with ensuites lounge dining kitchen veranda and stairs.Did 1 unit.This is how its done.Scrub tiles with a heavy duty cleaner and use a  grout cleaning tool for cleaning   grout joints. We used a blue pad on the polyvac machine. We then neutralised with S4S a marble cleaning product. S4S works great on porcelain as well as being a marble cleaner.Wet all mess. Simple but effective. The doodle bug scrubs the edges where the machine won’t reach.

          If you don’t neutralise, the residue of the heavy duty cleaner remains and attracts dirt.
