HOW TO SPRAY BUFF FLOORS
The purpose of spray buffing a
floor is to both light scrub and polish at the same time. When spray
buffing be sure to remove all heavy soil before beginning. A burnisher
with a spray buff pad should be used when spray buffing.
-
Dust mop the floor to remove a
debris and dust.
-
Burnish the floor using a
burnishing floor pad and spray buffing compound or solution.
-
Dust the floor to remove
micro-particles of floor finish and dust.
Procedure:
-
Make sure that your floor has
been prepared for scrubbing. After the floor has been prepared vacuum
or dust mop the floor to remove any dust. We recommend that you spray
your dust mop with dust mop treatment to remove as much dust as
possible. Make sure to remove anything stuck to the floor because
this will gum up or rip the floor pad.
-
Make sure that the floor you
are burnishing does not and will not have traffic moving through it.
Use warning signs to make sure the area where you are scrubbing is
marked out so that everyone is aware of it.
-
Before you spray buff any area
make sure that you have removed and dirt and debris from the floors
surface using a dust mop.
-
When spray buffing a floor use
a burnisher that rotates the floor pad at least 800 rpm. When spray
buffing divide the room into 4'x4' squares. Spray the spray buff
solution into the square and buff until the floor is glossy. Solution
tanks are available for some burnishers. These burnishers are able to
release the spray buff solution into the spray buffing floor pad.
Spray buff the sides of the room first then swing the burnisher side
to side towards the center of the room. Overlap your previous path by
about 6 inches with the burnisher.
-
After the room has been
burnished use a dust mop to remove fine particles of floor finish and
dust.
-
Burnishers with solution tanks
come in all sizes and styles and start in the $1700 range for a base
model. (
National Super Service makes a wide range of burnishers at low
prices.)
