A.C.E. Experts, Terrazzo Floor Care

Terrazzo Floor Care Training

Richard from First Baptist Church of Winter Park, FL attended a floor care class earlier this year.  Last night, the crew was challenged with their first real test and the Academy was there to walk them through the steps on  how to top strip and refinish their 5,000 sq. ft. of terrazzo floor.  

A 14″x 20″ oscillating scrubber with red cushion pad, a Maroon floor pad and water was used to top strip.  The removed finish was picked up with an auto-scrubber, red pad and water.  Several passes were made to rinse the floor.  A microfiber flat mop was used to detail the edges and the terrazzo was ready for finish.

Two coats of Z-495 were applied.  Richard & crew did a bang up job for their first time.  Even laying finish didn’t seem to slow them down.  After a few days, they will certainly be ACE Experts.

Pascale has this to say about the class.

After two years of being in the janitorial industry and with minimal training, finally I have found the background information to understand the importance of my business. Not only do I now know the changes I need to make for my company and how to be a safer place for employees, but in my personal life as well.  I would recommend that any new employee, mid-level and/or executive level managers should take the valuable course, as it will open your eyes and mind to see how our industry impacts the life of others everyday.
