Bring The Shine Back- No Refinishing Required!

Not sure how your floors are looking, but winter has got us like ARGH!  The ice melt and gravel tracking in along with the boot traffic can be hard on floors. Extra matting can help, but it doesn’t stop everything. I guess we will just have to strip and refinish them…but WAIT! There’s Spraybuff to the rescue!  

Cleans AND shines all at one time!

Spraybuff uses a floor finish polymer blended with a high-quality detergent- great for removing scuffs, black heel marks, and scratches without disturbing the finish on the floor.

Minimize maintenance costs!

Spraybuff minimizes floor care maintenance expenditures by reducing the amount of dollars and labor spent stripping, sealing, and refinishing. Spray buffing provides important preventive maintenance. You can use it to restore traffic lanes, remove scratches, or add a high gloss to an already waxed or finished floor.

How to use it:

IMPORTANT: Before use, read product label and SD sheet. Wet floors may be slippery. Prevent pedestrian traffic with signs or barricades.

1. Dust and damp mop floor

2. Spray Spraybuff lightly over a 4 ft. square area near the floor machine. Just mist the area.

3. Start buffing the Spraybuff area immediately, moving the machine left to right or back and forth. When floors have been buffed dry, turn pad over and buff to a high gloss. Spraybuff can be used with floor machines of all speeds.

Tips On Floor Stripping & Refinishing

The condition of your floor is the first thing your customers see when they walk into your building.

Maintaining your floor is not rocket science, but it does require attention to detail- in method and in product. While hiring AMS would be the easiest solution for keeping your floors looking their best, here are some tips if you are stripping and refinishing floors on your own:

• Prepare and Conquer  Gather all needed materials before starting the job- mops, goggles, gloves, non-skid shoes, scraper, wet floor signs, etc.   

• Start Small  Apply floor stripper in a manageable area (maybe 10’x10’). Have rinse water ready nearby. You do not want the stripper to dry on the floor.

• Rinse! ‘Flood’ rinse the floor after removing the stripper chemical. A flood rinse is when you do not wring the mop before placing it on the floor. Keep your rinse water clean! If you can’t see the bottom of the bucket- change the water!  

• Neutralize  After rinsing, apply a neutralizer to help remove any stripper residue. Don’t forget to pay close attention to corners, edges and doorways.

• The Right Tools  Use a clean rayon or synthetic mop to apply floor finish. Line the mop bucket with a can liner to ensure your finish is not contaminated.

• Think Thin  Apply your floor finish in thin coats and let dry completely. Test for dryness with the back of your hand, not fingertips. It cannot be tacky at all!

Not sure how many coats of finish to apply?  An easy rule to remember is to apply 100% solids. For example, if the finish you are applying contains 20% solids, you would want to apply 5 coats.
