Happy Shiny Floors

January 28, 2012

With all the painting done, it was time to tackle the lovely floors. The floor tiles are “vintage” green asbestos squares. Neither one of us really wanted to fool with pulling and probably breaking them up. Cleaning and sealing is definitely the best course of action!

Eric tried all sorts of cleaning solutions. Amonia scrubs, bleach rinses (not at the same time…heh), and just a bunch of elbow grease. Dirt was coming up, but the tiles were still filthy. One of my neighboring shops loaned me stripper call Hurricane. I have no idea whats in it, but when she told me the schools were no longer allowed to use it because of the chemicals, I knew I had found the answer!

 

Hurricane and water scrubbed onto the floor…….magic! The tiles totally stripped with no problem!

 

 

Left side stripped, right side still ookie…

In two days Eric was able to strip the floor, and put two coats of sealer.

So shiny!

 

Now…. to move!
