Step 1: Stripping the Old Sealer

Product: TM Stripper

1.Prepare the Area: Remove any furniture and sweep the floor to eliminate loose dirt and debris.

2.Apply TM Stripper: Dilute the stripper according to the instructions (or use undiluted for tough layers). Spread it evenly over the surface with a mop or applicator pad.

3.Allow to Dwell: Let the stripper sit for the recommended time to break down old sealers and grime. Avoid letting it dry on the surface.

4.Agitate: Use a scrubbing brush or machine with a suitable pad to work the solution into the floor.

5.Remove Residue: Mop up the loosened sealer and dirt using a clean mop or wet vacuum. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

Step 2: Cleaning and Neutralizing

Product: Cleaner Number 2

1.Prepare the Cleaner: Dilute Cleaner Number 2 according to the instructions.

2.Apply to the Floor: Spread the solution evenly across the stripped surface.

3.Neutralize and Clean: Scrub the floor gently to remove any remaining residue from the stripper and balance the pH of the surface.

4.Rinse Thoroughly: Use clean water to rinse the floor, ensuring all Cleaner Number 2 and any remaining debris are removed.

5.Allow to Dry: Ensure the floor is completely dry before proceeding to the next step. This may take 12–24 hours, depending on ventilation and humidity.

Step 3: Sealing the Floor

Product: Water-Based Sealer

1.Test Before Applying: Test the sealer on a small, inconspicuous area to ensure the desired finish.

2.Apply the Sealer: Use a clean applicator pad, brush, or roller to apply the sealer in thin, even coats.

3.Allow to Dry: Wait for the sealer to dry completely before applying additional coats if needed. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for drying times.

4.Optional Additional Coats: For extra protection, apply a second coat once the first is fully dry.

Step 4: Finishing the Floor with Wax (Optional)

Product: Matte or Satin Wax

1.Select Your Finish: Choose between a matte or satin finish to complement your decor.

2.Apply the Wax: Using a soft cloth or applicator pad, spread the wax thinly and evenly across the sealed surface.

3.Buff for a Sheen: Once the wax has dried (as per instructions), buff the floor with a clean cloth or machine to enhance the sheen.

4.Enjoy the Results: Your terracotta floor is now restored, sealed, and beautifully finished!

Additional Tips for Best Results

•Work in Sections: To avoid overlapping marks, tackle small, manageable sections of the floor at a time.

•Ventilation is Key: Ensure good airflow to speed up drying times and reduce odors.

•Maintenance: Use a pH-neutral cleaner for regular upkeep to preserve your newly restored floor.
