Cleaning Floors

CLEANING: (Daily to Weekly)

Product: Marbalex® Dry/Dust mop the floor at least twice per week. Pour 2 ounces of Marbalex into a clean bucket of water. (Be sure that the bucket has been thoroughly cleaned out if it has been used before with another cleaner.) With a clean rayon or sponge mop, gently mop the Marbalex on to the floor surface without making large puddles. Let the surface dry. There is no rinsing required.

SEALING: (Every 1-2 years)

Product: Stone Spray-N-Seal® Test a small area for desired results before applying to entire surface. Remove any topical waxes or stains before sealing. Surface should be dry for 6-12 hours before sealing. Clean countertops with Marbamist or Clean EnCounters. For floors, use Marbalex. (It is safe to lightly clean the stone before sealing.) Cover surrounding areas that are not intended to be sealed. Liberally spray the entire surface until it is wet. (Outer edges may dry quicker.) When surface begins to dry within 3-5 minutes, wet the surface again with the sealer. (This will allow the sealer to properly penetrate and cure.) After 30 minutes, wipe off excess sealer from the surface with a clean and dry white terry cloth towel. If excess dries on the surface, spray more sealer onto the surface and wipe off immediately.

POLISHING MARBLE FLOORS: (If Necessary)

Product: Marbacream® *Complete small areas no more than six square feet at a time.* Remove any abrasive debris from the surface. Apply clean water to the surface first. Shake the bottle until the product thickens. Apply the Marbacream to the surface and beginning buffing it in with a red or hogs-hair buffing pad. (This can be done by hand or with an orbital floor buffing machine.) Remove the Marbacream once the polish has been achieved by rinsing thoroughly with Marbalex. Wipe off the haze with a clean, dry and white terry cloth towel.
