Cleaning Tips Home Repair Flooring

Polished Concrete Floor

4 years ago

Hi,

I would appreciate some advice on caring for my polished concrete floor. I have this throughout my living room, kitchen, and hallways. I have some notable scratches which I'd like to repair. Here is a sample, but they are all the same. Applying wax did not see to help. Any recommendations?

I stared at the picture til my eyeballs hurt without figuring out what type and brand wax is on the floor. Closed my eyes and concentrated til my noggin hurt with same results. If you have experience with commercial floor care,treat these the same.

How you fix the scratch will depend on whether it is only in the sealer or if it has reached the concrete. If it has reached the concrete the whole floor may need to be ground and polished again.
