Title: lino polish
Post by: absolutecleaning on April 24, 2008, 06:37:03 pm

Job I went to see reffered to in earlier post was actually a lino floor in this restaurant / cafe.

Has anyone got bright ideas how to polish it up?  The customer thought we would do some sort of seal and polish but i've not heard of one myself.

Cheers

First you strip the old polish off, then you seal the floor then you apply polish. It all depends on the condition of the floor as to what you need to do to bring it back, you may be able to reapply polish alone but you need to see it to tell

Its brand new lino - is there already polish on it when its brand new?

Whether or not there is I suppose we could just put the polish straight on as there wont really be anything to strip off?

The other thing is that they originally asked for it to be polished once a mth but I reckon it willl need doing more often  than that.   Any thoughts?

Thanks again

Ask them , find out by asking what was used last time, but I'd seal and polish using a high % solids. As for when It needs re-doing only time will tell, its better to maintain it than strip and reseal it. you need to talk then round into whats best (for you)
