Cleaning and treatment of soil composition inside checkerboard marble and terracotta
In this work we have the added difficulty of a floor inside checkerboard composed of aged cream marble and semi-manual terracotta floor.
We speak of added difficulty; as the combination of marble and mud is not very common and it is often problematic, since the cleaning products used for mud have an acid component brightness eats polished marble.
Fortunately this marble floor was old and honed (dull), so this facilitated the work; although we had a special care when using cleaning products in right proportions to avoid damaging the marble at all.
The floor had stains embedded especially in the mud of semi-manual. Therefore the procedure was to make a first cleaning phase, as we said with proportions of very poor cleaning products to protect the marble. This process had to be repeated twice in a row to achieve the total elimination of stains.
Subsequently after waiting for the soil completely dried about 4 days we proceeded to the implementation of protective treatment that was applied in two layers. A first base layer was applied only to the slabs of clay to seal its porosity and a second layer of satin finish was applied to both slabs mud as marble. This second layer is produced from wax compounds completely waterproof clay soil and also provides protection against the marble floor absorption of liquids and stains; obtaining a glossy end result (with low brightness).
Then we leave a video summary of the work done:
