Preparation for Floor Stripping

• Prepare the surface area. Note the location of each item on the floor and remove all displays, furniture, equipment, and other objects.
• Place caution cones and barricades at all entrances to the area and lock all access doors.
• Separate the areas that should not be stripped with materials such as water wedges and duct tape.
• Without scarring the floor, carefully scrape adhered debris from the floor and dust mop the entire area.

• Apply the stripping solution to the floor with the Liquidator. Allow the solution to dry for at least 10 minutes, but do not let the solution dry completely before stripping the floor with the Stripmaster or the Sidewinder.
  • To maintain control over timing of the process, work on large floor surfaces in stage
• Maneuver in sweeping, overlapping strokes.
• To ensure total coverage, scrub in one direction and then reverse.

• Remove the solution with the Guzzler at a rate of 25,000 square feet per hour.
• Use the Kwikleen to apply and retrieve a neutral rinse.
• Check the entire floor for possible touch up spots before applying a thin coat of finishing application with the Ultra-Trak.
