-Terrazzo Cleaning and Sealing Service-
Terrazzo Cleaning and Sealing Service, San Francisco, California Bay Area
This was a residential home in San Francisco that had a front exterior terrazzo staircase. Terrazzo is a man made composite composed of marble and granite chips that are held together by a binder which is typically cement. Terrazzo is very porous and needs to be sealed to help make the maintenance easier and to fortify the cement binder. If you don’t keep up on cleaning and sealing the terrazzo, the cement binder will start to degrade quicker than the marble/granite chips and the terrazzo will have a rough texture. These terrazzo stairs had never been cleaned and sealed so they were very dirty and starting to feel rough. I did a hard surface extractor deep cleaning on the terrazzo to get the terrazzo as clean as possible. I scrubbed the terrazzo down with cleaner, grout brushes, and different pads before going over the area with the extractor wand. the extractor wand has high pressure water (1100 psi) which is spinning around super fast to distribute the water pressure evenly. There are powerful vacuums sucking up all of the water at the same time so this process is self contained and doesn’t create over spray or puddles of water. These terrazzo stairs cleaned up very nicely and the homeowner was very pleased. After the cleaning I put powerful floor fans on the terrazzo to help speed up the drying process. Once the terrazzo dried I sealed the stairs with a penetrating sealer. The sealer did not change the sheen or appearance of the terrazzo and will last 3-5 years with the proper maintenance. I left the customer with a ph neutral cleaner concentrate for the maintenance and detailed instructions on how to maintain the terrazzo after I was done with the cleaning and sealing service.
