Abstract:

A method of maintaining and restoring the gloss of polished concrete, terrazzo, marble and granite floors utilizing floor maintenance machines is disclosed. The rotating head of the floor machines has either a brush having flexible bristles impregnated with abrasive particles or a maintenance pad having fibers which have been impregnated with an abrasive material and which are woven or otherwise distributed through the pad. The use of these abrasive pads and brushes with conventional floor maintenance machinery in routine floor maintenance operations maintains or restores the gloss of non-resilient flooring that is exposed to heavy traffic.
