This video is so helpful and the instructions are conveyed very clearly. I'm a commercial cleaner but stripping a floor and refinishing has never been a part of my job requirement. I want to learn how to do all of it so I can add it to my resume should this skillset be required in the future Thank you😊

If you haven't already, it's good to watch the Principles of Cleaning and the Principles of Floor Care as these expand on some of the topics. Some you might already know and others might not.

Great video, I'm new to floor care and was wondering what the purpose of using the floor machine after using the neutralizer. Because when I stripped a floor with my coworkers we didn't do that. Just mopped and let it dry then put wax on it

@AmreSupply 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching, we're glad that you found it helpful! After applying the neutralizer the floor machine will help the neutralizer work more evenly and neutralize more of the floor finish. This helps reduce the amount of residue that would interfere with the floor finish or wax.

Great video "AMRE Supply". When applying the Neutral cleaner and use the machine with blue or red pad and use the mop again, as last step do we need to mop the area with fresh clean water only? Or it is not necessary.

@AmreSupply 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you Marcelo. That is a good question. A final rinse mopping with fresh clean water is best before applying the floor finish.

How much stripper liquid vs Water?

@AmreSupply 5 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching. The dilution rate depends on each particular product, so always read the labels and the provided information sheets. For example this stripper is listed as a 1:48 dilution rate. www.amresupply.com/part/DB50238-D-B-TIMEOUT-PLUS-ALL-SYST-STRI This stripper is listed as a 1:10 dilution rate: www.amresupply.com/part/1040400-Betco-Geraldine-Wax-Finish-Stripper-1gal Note: Adjust dilution rates to suit your cleaning needs.

Is a floor sealer different than a high solid % polish

@AmreSupply Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. A floor sealer will be chemically different than a floor finish and it is also different from a floor a polish. These are designed for different purposes so they are not interchangeable.

@@tannerjames7874 For floor stripping a string mop works great as all you need is to cover the floor. Its during floor finishing that many people find that a flat mop useful as its better at releasing the solution onto the floor. String mops:: 'Drag' Along Surface Holds More Moisture Absorbs Better Great for Washing Available in Cotton/Synthetic Microfiber (flat mop) Push Along Surface Holds Less Moisture Releases Better Great for Waxing / applying floor finish Single Use / disposable use in Hospitals

Also good idea to use a skirt on base of machine when machine stripping/scrubbing next to skirting boards, walls & furniture otherwise really difficult to remove splatter marks afterwards, in most instances, the only way to remove these marks off affected areas once dry is to apply full concentrate stripper on a scourer pad and test on a non focal point area to make sure the stripper wont remove paint/varnish etc and if OK, rub lightly to remove marks... i've been polishing floors for 25 years and you absolutely don't need to buy/apply neutraliser as the sealer finish technology these days is very good, it's designed so that neutraliser's have now become redundant in floor polishing applications

the only flaw in video is he wasnt wearing ppe. sorry, i know its an old video, but if you are like me and trying to self teach yourself a bit, always have ppe on such as gloves and/or protective eyewear.

@AmreSupply 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. Yes PPE will depend on the task you are doing. Bill was wearing gloves while applying the floor stripper. A diluted neutral floor cleaner is not as corrosive as a floor stripper and doesn't carry the same risk. Since we don't know what exact chemicals and equipment someone is using we just recommended to read the labels and to use the recommended PPE as it will differ depending on what is used.
