Floors with urethane finish are easy to clean, and we recommend a neutral cleansing agent. ServiceMaster Clean of Thunder Bay can provide more information on a suitable product.
Preparation will depend on the condition of the existing floor, current number of coats, repairs required, etc. When applying an acrylic finish, stripping of the old finish is usually necessary. When that’s the case, finish removal plus the application of 3 coats of finish requires 1 hour for every 150 square feet of flooring. Generally, 3 coats of finish are required to achieve the desired effect. If a floor does not require stripping, it can generally be shower scrubbed which is a procedure used for preparing a floor for receiving a new layer of finish. Once that has taken place, a floor can be recoated at anywhere from 4,000 to 6,000 square feet per hour.
Urethane finish is relatively easy to repair. Call the professionals at ServiceMaster Clean of Thunder Bay and let us repair the damaged area.
