  • St petersburg Travertine Polishing & Sealing Before and After




    Travertine polishing is one of my favorite jobs. The travertine floor sealer we use enhaces the colors in the travertine while our travertine polishing process brings a bright even shine from the travertine floor.
    This St Petersburg travertine polishing and sealing job was on the 8th floor of a condo overlooking the Gulf and the intercoastal waterway. The travertine floor was dull and dirty with mutted colors.

    We thoroughly cleaned the stone by scrubbing a detergent into the stone and then rinsing with a hot water extraction tool. Travetine cleaning gets the embedded soils out of the stone and grout and gets the travewtine ready for polishing.
    Our high speed travertine polishing process polishes the travertine to a bright even shine.

    Travertine is very porous and need to be sealed with a good...


  • Outdoor Travertine Paver Sealing Testimonial

    This outdoor travertine paver floor was sealed with Drytreat Stainproof and Enhance Plus. Sealing travertine pavers with Enhance Plus deepens the color of the travertine paver and takes away the slight chalky look unpolished outdoor pavers have. The Stainproof sealer bonds to the molecular structure of the travertine paver making the travertine paver permanently water resistant.

    If you keep water from penetrating into the travertine paver you prevent efflorescence, mold/mildew growth, staining from spills, etc Sealing travertine pavers with Drytreat Stainproof also makes the stone resist the penetration and adhesion of oils. Everything is kept at the surface of the stone where it is easy to wash off.

    Floor Cleaning Experts is a Drytreat Certified Applicator and provides a 15 year warranty on the Drytreat Stainproof Sealer.

  • Floor Cleaning Experts First Terrazzo Restoration and Polishing Video

    This St Petersburg terrazzo restoration job responded well to our full terrazzo restoration process. We used metal bonded diamond discs on a dual plenary grinding machine to grind the terrazzo smooth and level. The terrazzo floor was then polished with resin diamond polishing discs to 800 grit. To make really shiny terrazzo we use diamond embedded polishing pads on a high speed polisher.

    As you can see we get a clear bright shine without using crystallization acids that can break down and weaken your terrazzo floor. We get our shine from diamond grinding terrazzo smooth and them polishing terrazzo to a hot shine instead. This type of terrazzo polishing takes more work but is the most durable and environmentally friendly way to polish terrazzo.

    The Floor Cleaning Experts provides cleaning and polishing of terrazzo as well and full terrazzo restoration. Call us at...

  • Tampa Wood Floor Cleaning & Polishing of 100 Year Old Wood Floor
    This 100 year old wood floor was in bad shape when we arrived. The floor wasn't a candidate for a full wood floor restoration due to its age and terminte damage. The property owners didn't want to replace the floor so they called the Floor Cleaning Experts to provide a thorough wood floor cleaning, sealing, & polishing in Tampa.

    Then we used a high speed floor buffer for wood floor polishing with diamond embedded polishing pads. This smoothes out the existing finish on the floor and gets it ready for sealing.
    We...
