RTS Cleaning Supplies. Resilient Floor Finish Problems.
The finished floor quality can be effect with loot of conditions.
Conditions, that are sometimes out of our control, but conditions
that every professional maintenance person, stuff should know about.
We hope the next list will help to determine what those problems
are and what to look for. .
| Problem |
Look For |
| Hazing |
High humidity, dirty mop, poor rinsing of the cleaning
chemicals, recoated too soon, material was frozen. |
| Scuffing |
Coats are too heavy |
| Powdering |
Low humidity, freshly stripped floor, poorly sealed,
allowed becoming "bone dry" before coating, drafts promoting
fast vaporization of the film, coats too thin. |
| Streaking |
Dirty floor, dirty mop, pronounced high humidity
recoated too soon. |
| Fish Eyes |
Greasy floor, soap film. |
| Peeling, no adhesion |
This can mistakenly be judged as extreme case of
powdering. Some old waxy floor finish underneath new floor
with original factory coating. |
| Black Heel Marks |
Coats are too heavy. |
| Poor Flow |
Greasy surface. Examine container of the finish used. It
was perhaps partly full, stored in a hot area, or not
properly closed. |
