To make your terrazzo shine, use MB-22® E-Z Polishing Powder, designed specifically for terrazzo and calcite-based stones. Start by preparing the surface; ensure it is clean and honed to the highest clarity possible. Then, apply MB-22® according to the directions provided in the next section.

What Not to Use on Terrazzo Floors?

To keep your terrazzo floors looking their best, it’s crucial to avoid certain products and practices. Never use acidic or alkaline cleaners, as these can cause irreparable damage to the terrazzo surface by etching or dulling the finish.

Abrasive cleaning pads and tools should also be avoided, as they can scratch the surface, leading to a loss of shine and smoothness. Instead, choose gentle, pH-neutral cleaning solutions and soft, non-abrasive pads for regular maintenance.

Consistent care with the right products will preserve the beauty and longevity of your terrazzo floors.

How to Use MB-22® Terrazzo Polishing Powder

Different stones require different polishing techniques. In general, you would need to:

• Prepare the surface. Hone it to the highest clarity possible.
• Apply proper masking materials to areas of the surface that can be damaged by splatters.

Below are the specific directions for buffing terrazzo floors and countertops:

Polishing Terrazzo Floors

• Target an area of approximately 10 sq. ft.
• In the middle of the target area, sprinkle approximately 2 oz. of product in a circular pattern slightly smaller than the diameter of the floor machine.
• Using a hog’s hair pad, position the floor machine with water on top of the powder.
• The machine cannot exceed 175 RPM for best results and needs at least 1.5 HP.
• Release 5 seconds of water and swiftly swing the machine back and forth over the targeted area to evenly spread the slurry. (Note: keep the slurry thick; not too wet.)
• Polish slowly with a spiral motion moving from one end of the targeted area to the other and back.
• Continue polishing for 3-4 minutes.
• Then check the surface with a squeegee. You should have a high polish at this point.
• Next release just enough fresh water onto your target area to make vacuuming the used slurry easy.
• Then clean with a neutral cleaner such as MB-1 Floor Amore One Step Cleaner or MB-15 Stone Glow.
• Now repeat this process on next section.

Polishing Terrazzo Countertops

• Target an area approximately 4 sq. ft.
• On the targeted surface, sprinkle 1 tablespoon of product in a circular pattern slightly smaller than the polishing pad you are using.
• Spray some water on the powder and over the rest of the targeted area.
• Set the speed of the right-angle grinder/polisher (variable speed is a MUST) to the slowest speed.
• Using a hog’s hair pad, move the machine over the targeted area slowly, applying steady pressure.
• Check the surface for results after approximately 2 minutes.
• If you have a high polish, semi-flush the section and pull the slurry down to next section and repeat.

Coverage: Depending on the type of stone, expect coverage of approximately 125 – 200 sq ft per pound.
