Terrazzo Floor Cleaning

Sweep the floor to remove loose dirt crumbs and other debris.

Terrazzo floor cleaning.

Move any furniture that is on the terrazzo floor out of the way so you have no obstacles to clean around. If there is other clutter like papers toys or containers move those out of the way too. Never use vinegar on terrazzo flooring since it has high acidity. Using plain water or a neutral neither acidic or alkaline cleaner wet mop the floor and let the cleaner sit on the floor for several minutes to dissolve dirt.

Clear everything off of the terrazzo. Before applying a protective foundation prepare the floor by removing any old finish or sealant. Avoid using acidic or alkaline cleaners or products. Deep clean your terrazzo floors twice a year.

Scrub free strippers eliminate the need for a machine scrubber. If your mopped floor dries with a film mop it again with water containing a cup of white vinegar and the floor will glisten. Vinegar can lead to etching in the terrazzo floor surface. Before cleaning a terrazzo floor make sure it is has been commercially sealed.

Deep clean your terrazzo tile floor with natural stone cleaner or commercial terrazzo cleaner to prevent etching from alkaline or acidic cleaners. All a terrazzo floor needs to keep it looking good is a quick going over with a damp mop using either clear water an all purpose cleaner in warm water or a mixture of 1 cup fabric softener and 1 2 gallon water. Terrazzo floors call for cleaning products with a neutral ph to ensure their finish retain appealing look. A dry mop can also be useful if the floor is dusty.
