• Never use a mop to clean a floor that is greasy or oily.
• Make sure the pads or brushes on the automatic scrubber are in good shape. Pads should be red or blue 3M cleaning pads or similar. Brushes should be nylon non-abrasive Malish 8129 series or a similar 
medium flex bristle brush.
• When using a deck brush, choose a medium/stiff 
bristle.
• When using a rotary floor machine, use a tan or red 
3M pad or similar.
• When removing solution with a squeegee, use a soft, 
neoprene squeegee. Do Not use a water spray to remove cleaning solution from the floor because it will over-dilute the solution and cause grease and oil to fall back onto the floor.
• Wax strippers should never be used.
• Spills should be cleaned up immediately to prevent staining and as a safety precaution.
• Surfaces should be adequately protected when moving heavy equipment across the floor.
• Through proper training and education, unnecessary wear of the floor (such as forklift spin and skid-marks) can be avoided

Daily Maintenance

• Dust mop the floor daily with a microfiber pad to keep dirt particles off the floor. It is very important to remove dirt, sand and gravel as they are abrasive and will eventually dull the polish if not cleaned up properly.
• In high traffic areas, use an auto-scrubber with PH neutral cleaning product.
• Dry mop/broom floor first to remove large particles from the floor surface.
• Use an auto scrubber equipped with a “natural hair pad” for polished concrete while using a neutral cleaning product formulated to suspend the dirt particles so they can be more easily removed. Using water only leaves much of the dirt on the floor, where it will eventually abrade and discolor the surface.
• If the facility is too small to warrant using an auto-scrubber, we mop the floor instead.
• Try to clean spills and stains from the floor as quickly as possible so they don’t absorb into the surface.
• Give the cleaner enough time to start breaking down the grime, such grease and other contaminants, and then suspend the particles. If you apply a cleaning agent and then immediately vacuum it or mop it from the surface, the cleaner will not have sufficient time to work.
• Make sure the cleaning solution does not dry on the surface. This can be accomplished by cleaning small areas and making sure the entire process is complete before moving on to other areas.

Bi-Annual Maintenance

• Follow “weekly” maintenance plan.
• Burnish the floor using a high-speed burnisher equipped with diamond impregnated pads (grit of pad equal to that of floor finish).

Long Term Maintenance

• Reapply guard and use burnisher to remove excess.

• Create an easy-to-clean, seamless surface: Our resinous industrial floor coating products dry to become durable, seamless surfaces that can easily be wiped free of dirt, dust, and debris. Because of this ability for easy cleaning, our resinous floor coating services are ideal for food, beverage, and pharmaceutical preparation and packaging plants.
• Result in a hard-wearing and durable surface: Our resinous floor coating products turn concrete floors into a seamless and durable, high-performance surface that will last for years to come.
• Provide an attractive flooring surface: Our resinous floor coatings dry to a high-gloss shine and are available in a variety of different colors and styles. You can choose to use one solid color or create a decorative pattern using several colors in order to create an attractive and durable flooring solution.
• Create a chemically resistant surface: Resinous floor coatings are a chemically resistant flooring option for manufacturing plants, warehouses, and industrial plants that need a durable flooring solution.
• Improve safety: Our resinous floor coating products can improve safety by creating a slip, impact, heat, and fire resistant flooring solution. These high gloss floor coatings can also improve brightness in a work area by 300%.
• Allow for designated traffic and work zones: We can use different colors of our resinous floor coating products simultaneously to define safety zones, forklift traffic zones, and other work zones.
• Increase productivity capabilities: Using resinous floor coatings in a factory, warehouse, or industrial plant can reduce wear on transport vehicles, allow for faster material movement, and prevent wear and damage to the floor.
• Offer an environmentally friendly flooring solution: Resinous floor coatings are an environmentally friendly flooring solution for companies interested in choosing “green” alternatives and building materials.
• Allow for quick and easy application: Our resinous floor coatings are self-leveling products. This allows our experienced professionals to apply a resinous floor coating quickly over any new or old concrete floors.
• Durability: Concrete floors coated in resinous material last longer and resist considerable wear, thus saving you money and allowing you to manage other business concerns.
• Strength: Once the resinous flooring material has been converted to a solid polymer, it becomes incredibly strong and prevents chemical breakdown.
• Saves time: Resinous flooring is usually quickly and easily installed, which means less time shutting down production for installation.
• Low-maintenance cleaning: Once concrete has the resinous coating, it is no longer porous since sealed, and is therefore easier to clean.
• Aesthetic: Coatings are usually available in an array of colors and patterns to fit your specific style.
• Safety: These seamless floor coatings are also resistant to slippage, temperature, extreme impact, and even fire, maintaining both the safety of your employees and your building.
• Brightness: Typically, a high-gloss option for coatings can be provided, which improves lighting in your facility to a significant degree due to reflection.
• Sloping: Coatings can be sloped to drains to control flow of water.

• Cost savings: Using the slab on grade as the finished floor surface is more cost effective, because maintenance costs are lower.
• Less maintenance and longer service life: Polished concrete floors are easy to clean, requiring only occasional damp mopping. They also eliminate the need for messy waxes or coatings as well as the associated labor, time, and expense to apply them. The glossy surface of polished concrete resists the marks of forklift truck tires and staining from oil and chemical spills.
• Resistant to moisture transmission issues: Polished concrete allows the floor to breathe and eliminates issues that arise with other industrial flooring materials that seal off the concrete, such as tile, etc.
• High light reflectivity: Important for office building floors, hotels, restaurants, and other public facilities that want to project a bright, clean, professional image. Also saves energy by reducing artificial lighting requirements.
• Is a sustainable flooring alternative: Polished concrete floors does no require hazardous coatings, cleaners, or adhesives.

Install averages 5 days, plus 3 days to cure. Coatings are a multi-step process. We do not rush cure times and do not skip steps on our systems. We install floors that will last. Your project square footage and system chosen will impact the duration.

Install averages 5 days, plus 24 hours before foot traffic. Polishing Concrete is a multi-step process. We do not rush or skip steps on our systems. We install floors that will last. Your project square footage and system chosen will impact the duration.

Depending on the scope and area in your facility, yes you might need to shut down.

• Prior to making a final recommendation: Treadwell can analyze your current resinous flooring system to determine the cause of failure. We utilize our test results to choose the best flooring option available for the unique needs of your facility.

The life of an resinous flooring system is dependent upon a number of factors:

• Type of flooring system
• Amount and type of traffic
• Exposure to chemicals
• Cleaning procedures

With the proper flooring being installed for the environment and proper maintenance being performed, floors can last up to 20 years or more.
