Marble, Terrazzo and Stone Polishing

Polishing a stone floor with a buffer can help bring out its natural beauty and shine. Here are the general steps for this process:
  1. Clean the floor: Before you begin polishing, make sure the floor is clean and free of any debris or dirt. Sweep or vacuum the floor, and then use a mop with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner to remove any remaining dirt.
  2. Choose the right polishing pad: There are different types of polishing pads designed for different types of stone floors. Make sure you choose the appropriate pad for your floor.
  3. Apply polishing compound: Apply a small amount of polishing compound to the floor, spreading it evenly with a mop or floor machine.
  4. Use the buffer: Attach the appropriate polishing pad to the buffer and turn it on. Work the buffer over the floor in a circular motion, overlapping each pass slightly to avoid leaving any streaks.
  5. Repeat the process: Once you’ve completed a section of the floor, check to see if it has the desired shine. If not, repeat the process with additional polishing compound and a fresh pad.
  6. Clean up: Once you’ve finished polishing the entire floor, clean up any excess polishing compound with a damp mop or cloth.

Keep in mind that polishing a stone floor can be a time-consuming process, and it’s important to use caution to avoid damaging the floor. Always read the manufacturer’s instructions for the polishing compound and pads, and consider hiring a professional if you’re unsure about the process.
