Most floor care problems are caused by improper product use. This
| |
Problem: Finish is too sticky or tacky. | |
| Cause | Solution |
| Finish is applied too thick | Apply thin coats and allow each to dry before applying the next coat. |
| Not enough drying time between coats. | Under normal conditions finishes dry in 20-30 minutes. High humidity extends drying time. |
| Restorer not properly diluted or applied too frequently. | Follow label instructions. Under- diluting or overuse can leave a sticky residue. |
| Restorer / maintainer not burnished soon enough after application. | When dry, restorer/maintainer will continue to soften finish if not burnished. |
| Floor not properly rinsed before application of finish. | Thoroughly rinse and neutralize floor after stripping. Use neutral cleaner in proper dilution. |
| Improper use of disinfectants. | Measure carefully and follow label directions. |
| Separation of finish. | Finish may have been exposed to prolonged heat causing separation in the product. Shake or stir before using. |
Problem: Finish swirls or scratches | |
| Cause | Solution |
| Pad is too aggressive. | Use the recommended pad for a particular task whether it be burnishing or cleaning. |
| Pad is dirty. | Clean with a wire brush or put pad in deep sink and spray off the build- up. Hang up to dry. |
| Floor is dirty or sandy. | Use walk-off mats; dust thoroughly before burnishing. |
