Residential Use
This procedure can be used on most types of hard floor surfaces,
EXCEPT
WOOD FLOORS.
EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS REQUIRED:
1. Orbiter
2. Drive Pad Holder
3. White Polish Pad
4. Floor finish liquid
5. Clean string mop, 16-20 oz. size
6. Bucket and wringer
7. Disposable plastic bag
PROCEDURE:
1. Place disposable bag inside of bucket with wringer. This will
protect floor finish from being contaminated and chemical
residue remaining in bucket.
2. Pour quart size container of floor finish into the disposable
bag. Amount of floor finish depends on size of floor area to
be covered and number of coats to be applied.
3. Dip the mop tip ONLY into the floor finish and wring out
lightly. Avoid dripping floor finish or splashing on walls.
4. Apply floor finish in thin even coats. Apply FIRST COAT of
floor finish along baseboard edges and cover remaining floor
area in an east-west direction.
HINT:
Only first coat of floor finish need be applied
to baseboard edges.
5. Allow floor finish to dry 20 minutes before applying second
coat.
6. Apply second coat of floor finish 1 tile width out from
baseboard. Application should be in a crossing direction to
the preceding coat.
7. Additional coats (3 and 4) of floor finish should be applied to
achieve the level of appearance desired. Four coats of floor
finish will provide extra protection to the floor surface.
8. Allow 24 hours for floor finish to harden before buffing.
9. Buff floor to higher shine using Orbiter, Drive Pad Holder and
white polish pad.
PRECAUTIONS
:
1. When using NEW mops to apply floor finish, make sure to
rinse mop first. Foreign chemicals will affect the floor finish.
2. Completely submerging mop head into the floor finish
is a waste of product.
3. Turn mop over frequently for even distribution of floor finish.
4. Do not allow mop to become dry; this will cause streaking.
5. Apply floor finish in thin even coats.
6. Do NOT pour floor finish and attempt to spread evenly. This
will cause dark spots and delay drying time.
