Basics of Terrazzo Cleaning

Basic terrazzo cleaning isn’t intensely difficult, but there’s a right way to do it, and a few things to avoid. Since they have low absorption, they won’t struggle with mold and the Florida humidity like other materials. Plus, with a few simple steps, you can make terrazzo last a lifetime.

Here are a few important maintenance and cleaning precautions:

  • Never use harsh cleaners on terrazzo.
  • Only scrub or mop with neutral pH cleaning substances.
  • Allow your cleaner to remain on the floor for several minutes to ensure effective interaction with clean water.
  • Keep your floor wet throughout the entire cleaning process to avoid dry cleaning residue.
  • Try dust mopping your area daily if you experience heavy foot traffic.
  • Give your floors a good damp mopping at least weekly. In commercial settings, consider using a buffing machine on particularly dirty surfaces.

Other Helpful Cleaning Suggestions

Also, whenever you put in new terrazzo, ask the installer for his recommendation on cleaning supplies. If you seal it with a quality water-based acrylic sealer, you can expect a nice shine.

What else should you avoid? Pure surface waxes are problematic because they can make terrazzo abnormally slippery. All-purpose cleaners and cheap solutions will give you bad results as well. You usually get what you pay for with those sorts of things.
