3. Dip mop in stripping solution and apply to floor in a
6 ft by 6 ft area. Apply along baseboard edges first
or where there is a wax or dirt build-up.
4. Let solution stand for 5 minutes, scrub floor with
Orbiter ® Multi-Floor Machine and the brown strip
pad. Use interior circle (donut hole) from the brown
strip pad to reach in corners and around door
jambs.
5. To pick up dirty solution, use a mop or wet-dry
vacuum. DO NOT ALLOW STRIPPING SOLUTION
TO DRY ON FLOOR.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until the entire floor is completely
stripped.
7. Rinse area TWICE with clean water and clean mop.
Pick up water with mop or wet-dry vacuum.
8. Allow floor to dry before applying new floor finish.
Precautions:
1. Do not flood the floor with stripping solution or allow
solution to dry before pick-up.
2. Use clean mop for final rinse.
3. Change rinse water frequently.
4. Use damp cloth to wipe off any splashes on walls
or furniture.
Refinishing
This procedure can be used on most types of hard floor
surfaces, EXCEPT WOOD & STONE FLOORS.
Equipment and Material Required:
• Orbiter ® Multi-Floor Machine
• Black Drive Pad Holder
• White Polish Pad or Lamb’s Wool Bonnet
• Floor finish liquid
• Clean string mop, 16-20 oz. size
• Bucket and wringer
• Disposable plastic bag
Procedure:
1. Place disposable bag inside of bucket with wringer.
This will protect floor finish from being contaminated
and chemical residue remaining in bucket.
2. Pour quart size container of floor finish into the
disposable bag. Amount of floor finish depends on
size of floor area to be covered and number of coats
to be applied.
3. ONLY dip the mop tip into the floor finish and wring
out lightly. Avoid dripping floor finish or splashing
on walls.
4. Apply floor finish in thin even coats. Apply FIRST
COAT of floor finish along baseboard edges and
cover remaining floor area in an left-right direction.
HINT: Only the first coat of floor finish needs to be
applied to baseboard edges.
5. Allow floor finish to dry for 20 minutes before
applying a second coat.
6. Apply the second coat of floor finish 1 tile width
from baseboard. Application should be in a crossing
direction to the preceding coat.
7. Additional coats (3 and 4) of floor finish should be
applied to achieve the level of appearance desired.
Four coats of floor finish will provide extra protection
to the floor surface.
8. Allow 24 hours for floor finish to harden before
buffing.
9. Buff floor to higher shine using Orbiter ® Multi-Floor
Machine and white polish pad or lamb’s wool
bonnet.
Precautions:
1. When using NEW mops to apply floor finish, make
sure to rinse mop first. Foreign chemicals will affect
the floor finish.
2. Completely submerging mop head into the floor
finish is a waste of product.
3. Turn mop over frequently for even distribution of
floor finish.
4. Do not allow mop to become dry; this will cause
streaking.
5. Apply floor finish in thin even coats.
6. Do NOT pour floor finish directly on the floor and
attempt to spread evenly. This will cause dark spots
and delay drying time.
