This example of high gloss marble floor polishing shows how shiny and reflective a marble floor can be.  To get a high gloss marble polish shine from a marble floor the marble must be level and honed to between 800-3600 grit.  

Marble polishing with an marble restoration paste or Italian Craftsmen 5x marble polishing powder using a rotary marble polishing machine will bring a deep bright luster from the floor.  After the powder polishing we clean the marble and dry it before using a crystallizing spray buff to brighten the surface like glass.

This St Petersburg wood floor cleaning and polishing started with a Murphy's Oil Soap residue that left the finish dull and cloudy.  The first step of our wood floor cleaning process is to spray a solvent based detergent on the floor to break down the oils.  This is scrubbed into the floor floor with a natural hair pad on a rotary scrubber to the break down the oil soap.  Microfiber bonnets are used to draw the dirt and detergent from the wood floor.  Wood floor polishing is then done by using a dry natural hair pad under a rotary scrubber to buff the wood floor residue free and ready for finish.  The wood floor is then coated with a no-wax floor finish to fill in small scratches and restore a vibrant shine to the wood floor.

Quarry Tile Stripping, Cleaning, and Waxing

This 1940's Mosaic Quarry tile floor was coated in a yellowing old acrylic coating.  Our Quarry tile stripping and waxing service removed to old coating from the quarry tile and the grout.  The tile and grout was then cleaned with our truck mounted tile and grout cleaning system to get the grout a consistent color.

We then coated the floor with a water based urethane reinforced floor wax.  This brought the floor back to its original beauty.

If you have a quarry, Mexican, Terra Cotta, or Saltillo tile floor call us at the Floor Cleaning Experts 727-399-8803 and we will restore it to its former glory.

Professional Marble Polishing Starts with Proper Protection.

Professional marble polishing starts with proper protection of surrounding walls, baseboards, cabinets, and other delicate areas.  Floor Cleaning Experts certified marble mechanics use a couple of different things to insure our marble polishing doesn't damage surrounding areas.  A combination of plastic wall wrap and blue tape provide a protective barrier against the marble polishing paste used during marble polishing.  We use special marble polishing brushes on our marble polishing machine to eliminate the potential for friction or rub damage from polishing pads or drivers.

At the Floor Cleaning Experts we understand that leaving the surrounding areas undamaged and free of blemishes is just as important as polishing the marble floor to a hot gloss shine.  Out marble mechanics are skilled at both.  For more information call us at 727-399-8803.
