Carpet, tile, hardwood and terrazzo are common flooring materials--all require different maintenance techniques and cleaning processes. Some terrazzo floors are more than 3,000 years old. Employ proper cleaning techniques and your terrazzo floors will last a long time.
Things You'll Need
- Mop
- Mop bucket
- Water
- Floor cleaner
Instructions
- Mop your terrazzo floors using clean water with no added cleaning products. This is a preliminary rinse. It can help fight yellowing discoloration and prevent the floor from absorbing the cleaning product.
- Add a floor cleaning product to the water in your mop bucket. Because you used the preliminary rinse method, you won't need as much cleaner as the manufacturer recommends. To protect your terrazzo floor and prevent future yellowing, the cleaner should be non-chemical and non-abrasive.
- Mop the floor again with the cleaning and water solution.
- Empty and rinse your mop bucket and refill it with clean water. Mop your terrazzo floor a third time to rinse away the cleaning solution. Allow it to air dry.
