3.Dip mop in stripping solution and apply to floor in a 6 ft by 6 ft area. Apply along baseboard edges first or where there is a wax or dirt build-up.

4.Let solution stand for 5 minutes, scrub floor with Orbiter® Multi-Floor Machine and the brown strip pad. Use interior circle (donut hole) from the brown strip pad to reach in corners and around door jambs.

5.To pick up dirty solution, use a mop or wet-dry vacuum. DO NOT ALLOW STRIPPING SOLUTION TO DRY ON FLOOR.

6.Repeat steps 3-5 until the entire floor is completely stripped.

7.Rinse area TWICE with clean water and clean mop. Pick up water with mop or wet-dry vacuum.

8.Allow floor to dry before applying new floor finish.

Precautions:

1.Do not flood the floor with stripping solution or allow solution to dry before pick-up.

2.Use clean mop for final rinse.

3.Change rinse water frequently.

4.Use damp cloth to wipe off any splashes on walls or furniture.

Refinishing

This procedure can be used on most types of hard floor surfaces, EXCEPT WOOD & STONE FLOORS.

Equipment and Material Required:

•Orbiter® Multi-Floor Machine

•Black Drive Pad Holder

•White Polish Pad or Lamb’s Wool Bonnet

•Floor finish liquid

•Clean string mop, 16-20 oz. size

•Bucket and wringer

•Disposable plastic bag

Procedure:

1.Place disposable bag inside of bucket with wringer. This will protect floor finish from being contaminated and chemical residue remaining in bucket.

2.Pour quart size container of floor finish into the disposable bag. Amount of floor finish depends on size of floor area to be covered and number of coats to be applied.

3.ONLY dip the mop tip into the floor finish and wring out lightly. Avoid dripping floor finish or splashing on walls.

4.Apply floor finish in thin even coats. Apply FIRST COAT of floor finish along baseboard edges and cover remaining floor area in an left-right direction.

HINT: Only the first coat of floor finish needs to be applied to baseboard edges.

5.Allow floor finish to dry for 20 minutes before applying a second coat.

6.Apply the second coat of floor finish 1 tile width from baseboard. Application should be in a crossing direction to the preceding coat.

7.Additional coats (3 and 4) of floor finish should be applied to achieve the level of appearance desired. Four coats of floor finish will provide extra protection to the floor surface.

8.Allow 24 hours for floor finish to harden before buffing.

9.Buff floor to higher shine using Orbiter® Multi-Floor Machine and white polish pad or lamb’s wool bonnet.

Precautions:

1.When using NEW mops to apply floor finish, make sure to rinse mop first. Foreign chemicals will affect the floor finish.

2.Completely submerging mop head into the floor finish is a waste of product.

3.Turn mop over frequently for even distribution of floor finish.

4.Do not allow mop to become dry; this will cause streaking.

5.Apply floor finish in thin even coats.

6.Do NOT pour floor finish directly on the floor and attempt to spread evenly. This will cause dark spots and delay drying time.
