Do's and Don'ts

 

Preparations -

Avoiding Damage

 

Care must be taken when removing floor coverings to minimize damage and expense.

 

Remove carpets by pulling back the corners and cutting the back into five foot strips with a razor knife.

 

DO NOT PULL NAILS!!

 

Nails holding down tack strips must be cut or ground to floor level. Pulling a nail will pull a piece of the Terrazzo creating a costly repair.

 

DO NOT USE ACID CLEANERS!!

 

Acids will damage the floor, etching and making the floor porous.
