Waxing or finishing your floor protects it, creates a no-slip surface, and adds an attractive shine. As long as you apply it correctly, and don’t mind topping up the wax once or twice a year, you can create a durable, beautiful surface. Where waxing once required you to rub a paste into the floor on your hands and knees, all but the most dedicated now choose a no-buff wax that you can simply mop onto the floor.
If you don’t want to strip a previous finish, you can use a water-based silicone polish instead of waxing. Simply sweep the floor, then apply several even layers of the polish with a mop. Remove all furniture and objects from the floor. Determine where you plan to wax and remove everything from that area. Put up signs in public areas to let people know the area will be off limits for at least 8 hours.
To be extra safe, tape down the edge of any adjacent area to protect it from the wax, especially carpet areas. Determine whether you need to strip your floor. If your floor has not previously been treated with wax or finish, you can skip straight to Waxing the Floor. If it was treated with wax but the old layer only suffers from scratches, not discoloration, you can also skip straight to waxing.
Otherwise, you should continue on to Stripping the Old Finish section to learn how to strip the previous treatment away. Use a mop to apply floor stripping solution from the far end of the floor to the exit. Stripping solution makes the floor slippery, so plan your route in advance to avoid having to walk over it.
Scrub the floor evenly and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, but do not allow it to dry. Try to agitate the finish with your mop as you apply the stripping solution. The stripping solution should change color as it removes and mingles with the finish over the next few minutes If you are stripping a large floor, do so in small sections so the stripping solution doesn’t dry.

In the construction of the wall tiles, the pursuit of visual beauty is pursued, but the blind pursuit of beauty and neglect of construction technology are also at a loss. The floor tile from selection to paving is needed to know certain decoration knowledge, so that we can easily create a comfortable and perfect living space. Which misconceptions must be avoid when tiling thetiles?
Seamless floor tile, the smaller the seam, the more beautiful. The seamless floor tiles with small joints hope that the gap is small when they are paved, and the smaller the gap, the better the overall effect. In fact, if the gap is too small, the ability of floor tile to respond to the environment will become worse. Due to the change of temperature, ceramic tiles showerwill be broken and the normal service life of subway tiles will be reduced. Therefore, the seamless floor tile sizes is equal to completely seamless, and the thermal barrier of ceramicfloor tiles needs to be stitched. The size of seamless floor tiles should be around 1-1.5mm, not less than 1mm. Special effects can also widen the gap to 5mm.
Ignore floor tiles cost product performance. In the construction process, a mistake that is easy to commit is to neglect floor tiles product performance and not to use paving according to regulations. Often appears to save the glazed floor tiles on the ground, and the physical and chemical properties of different tiles are different. For example, the water absorption of bathroomwall tiles and the water absorption rate of floor tiles are different. The wall tiles are high and the smallfloor tiles are low, so their flexural strength is different. In addition, the frost resistance of interior wall tiles and exterior wall tiles design are also different.
The tile adhesive are mixed with cement, mortar and so on. This will completely change the proportion of cement tile adhesive production ingredients, and the quality can not be guaranteed. Put the tile adhesive on the floor and mix it with a shovel. With the help of shovel, the tile adhesive glue can not be evenly distributed, and the effective components of ceramic tile powder will be lost. Similarly, the proportion of manual mixing water is difficult to accurately change the ratio of tile adhesive, so that the sticky force of tile adhesive drops.
Decoration is to use tile floor adhesive into the water for a long time, and then continue to use. When the decoration is used, the tile adhesive are used in accordance with the method of using cement, and the mixed tile adhesive are placed in the ground or water for a long time, which can easily lead to the lack of strength, powder and drop bathtile. The use time is too long, then add water and tile adhesive to mix with it. Some decoration will use the grey tile adhesive last night, in the second day in the morning to add water and tile adhesive powder for mixed use, in fact, the effective component of the tile adhesive has a chemical reaction, water only changes the operation performance, will lead to the later bond strength is insufficient. The tile adhesive should be used with stirring. The use time should be controlled within 2 hours. After drying, it should be discarded.
Integral wall construction and uneven scraping of tile surface and wall. The corner of wood tile is hollowed, which will lead to brick falling in a long wet environment. The tile adhesive is not evenly scraped, and the tile adhesive is sticky and incomplete. The tile adhesive suitable for thin layer construction, according to the smoothness of the base and the size of the tile adhesive to choose a suitable tooth shape scraper, when sticking, we should knead pressure in place, and check the full pulp rate at random. The floor tiles are kneaded on the base surface and the parallelism of the flooring tiles is adjusted, so as to ensure the parallelism of the tiles, the plastic cross is recommended.
The tile adhesive one time scraping area is too large. In outdoor dry and windy weather, the tile adhesive batching area is too large for construction. Use the toothed scraper to scrape the mucilage evenly on the working surface. For each construction period of about 1 square meters, the outdoor dry climate should wet the wall in advance.
The wall is not strong, sand, oil or dirt is too big. No tiles designare pasted without leveling. Because of low strength and oil pollution, the adhesive force of floor tile designs will be directly affected. The wall is not strong, and the base surface is easy to fall off. The wall is not smooth, the defect is too large, and the contact between tiles and wall is not in place, which is easy to cause hollowing.
