Want to go the DIY route in giving your concrete floor the polish and shine you want? Here are a few Do It Yourself tips to help you pull it off:
Sweep
Before you get down to concrete floor polishing and before you begin scrubbing every inch of your concrete floor—make sure you sweep away all the dirt first. Use a dustpan or, even better, vacuum away the dirt until you’re confident that every piece of gritty grime is finally gone. You want the floors to be spotless—at least until the next round of dirt and grime comes along.
Mop
Fill up a bucket, mix it up with a mild detergent and then use a mop to clean the floor. While sweeping gets rid of dust and sharp dirt that could scratch the surface, mopping ensures that you will remove any stubborn stains from the concrete. Don’t start any concrete floor polishing sessions until you’ve swept and mopped every inch first.
Use Coarse Dirt
You could give a coarse-grit polishing disk a try. It helps to remove stains and evens out rough patches on your floor. For better organization, make sure to polish the floor in a pattern. Whether it’s left to right or up and down, as long as you follow an organized and systematic pattern you will not miss a spot. There are also plenty of different types of grit you can use. There’s normal, fine, and extra-fine, so make sure to pick the ones that work best for your floor. Don’t know which one to chose? A little research or advice from a professional can help.
Of course, if all these sound like too much work for you, or if you don’t really have the skills to tell which dirt is fine and which is not, you could always ask for the help from a professional. Companies like Stoneshine offer concrete floor polishing services that are ideal for your needs.
Apply the Polish
Use floor grinders to make this process run smoothly. If you’d rather do other things than apply polish to the marble floors, then look around for professional, expert knowledge to help you improve your floors. Whether you go DIY or ask for the experts, with a little effort, your floors will start looking the best they have in years.
