Chemical-Free Floor Care | Video

Normally, our process entails talking to our customer or prospect about problems with their business and then sourcing products or methods to solve those problems. We don’t push one vendor, solution, or product line before we know if a problem exists. When we come across an innovation, like implementing the right floor care, that can save people time and money, we like to present it.

With a multitude of benefits in mind, we present to you GranQuartz diamond floor pads. Watch the embedded video below (or watch on YouTube) in order to get a better understanding of the product and process.

“Okay. So, Chris, while we’re out here today what are some of the benefits of using the diamond grind system versus a normal Terrazzo upkeep?

Well, besides reducing the annual cost of floor care, the system uses no specialized equipment. It uses just standard floor buffers, standard auto-scrubbers, so there’s nothing special to buy beyond the diamond tools themselves. So, you reduce your chemicals, you reduce your equipment costs, and your annual cost again, reduced by 30% or better.

You can actually completely eliminate even the daily chemical by using an activated water system. So, your chemical usage drops by at least 80 or 90%.

That’s great. So, I know that a lot of people with sustainability and chemical issues these days and the environment, this is a great system to not only cut out costs but also be more environmentally friendly as well.

Okay. So, Chris what are you doing right now?

We’re running the 200 grit series of diamonds underneath. This is gonna be the first cut, and it’s designed to flatten out the Terrazzo if it’s bumpy, and it’s also designed to take out any visible scratches. We’ll give a clean, non-shining floor when I’m finished.

Usually, for a first-time initial, you’re going to do five steps.

Okay.

How many steps is it gonna take after that?

Typically, they come back yearly and go two steps.

They do the last two steps to recover any shine that they have worked out over the year.

Yup. And all they need to do to re-shine up that Terrazzo is just throw water down and go ahead with those last few diamond grinding pads.”

Terrazzo and marble floors look great when they are maintained, but maintaining them tend to be an issue. The materials needed to keep your floors looking its best include some of the following, floor strippers, waxes, and an assortment of chemicals. The concerns of floor polish being nicked, scratched, and becoming dull over time are ongoing.

The process to strip and apply chemicals is very time-consuming and sometimes dangerous. Chemical usage is a hot button topic right now, especially with the recent change in legislation regarding volatile organic compounds levels in Indiana and across the country. This usually occurs when institutions like hospitals, schools, and office buildings struggle to keep up with stripping and or waxing the floors, leaving them less optimal.

That’s where this diamond polishing system pays huge dividends. After the initial stripping, there is no more stripping, because there is no more wax to apply. Instead of applying wax, you are grinding and polishing the hard stone.

What do you think holds up better to scrapes and dulling, a hard stone floor or a soft wax floor? The process to bring the floors shine back is quick. Use the two finest grits of a diamond pad in conjunction with your current floor buffer, and it’s good as new.

The time savings and associated labor costs are tremendous. After the first year, you can expect to see a 50% cost reduction. During the first year, the cost reduction is 30% until you can stop using the stripper.
