RECOMMENDED CLEANING &

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES FOR

TERRAZZO-WARE

SHOWER BASES

1. Finish Recommendation

Mop sinks are finished prior to shipment, if further sealing is required, use

Spartan Cote Cement Sealer or Equivalent.

2. Regular Cleaning

To maintain the original terrazzo appearance, clean regularly with a liquid

detergent such as Joy, Liquid Ajax or Spic and Span (for the latter, prepare a

solution containing 1/2 cup of Spic and Span in a gallon of water). Scrub with a

stiff bristled, non-metallic scrub brush and then rinse thoroughly.

NOTE: Do not use any acid, e.g., muriatic or cleaning agents that contain acid.

3. Special or Unusual Conditions

a. Scum on surface caused by soap, make-up, etc:

Use a cleaning powder, such as Ajax, plus lots of elbow grease.

b. Surface cleaning:

Heel marks, plaster, etc. may require abrasive removal. This can be

done with a wet emery cloth. If emery cloth is ineffective, use an 80 to

100 grit aluminum oxide coated paper. Abrasive cloth or paper will result

in a very faint grinding away of the base surface.

c. Penetrated stains:

Stains such as caused by oil, putty, etc., may be removed by scouring

with a cleanser and then soaking stained surface overnight—if need

be—with a commercial bleach such as Linco, etc.
