You may have tried to clean this type of floor on your own, quickly realizing that it needs a professional’s touch to come out the way you would like it to. More often than not, you resort to a coat of wax to hold you over, until you find someone.

"Buttered Leather" Are the words to use when describing a Mexican, Terracotta or Saltillo floor restored and refinished by Ziegler Preservation Cleaning Specialists. Ziegler’s ability to resurrect Mexican or clay style floors has everything to do with our persistence in cleaning and preparing the floor before the final coating of new finish. The most important part of restoring this type of floor is the stripping and cleaning process. Complete removal of the layers of old wax is essential. Deeply impeded dirt is removed then thoroughly rinsed to neutralize the pH of the floor to prepare the surface for finishing.

Get the Cleanest Floor Possible, Our Process is listed below

	1) Specially designed wax or finish emulsifiers are spread over the floor, working in small areas. 2) The old finish converts back to a liquid state with the use of these emulsifiers. Rotary scrubbing helps to speed the process and removal of wax build up.
	3) The grout lines receive special attention with hand brushing and scrubbing. 4) Rinsing, cleaning and vacuuming all take place at the same time using hot water and the right amount of pressure. This is done effectively and efficiently with no splashing or damaging effects to surrounding materials or walls.

5) The floor is left to dry over night, the final finish is applied the next day. 6) Sealer finish specifically designed for this type of floor is applied. Generally 2 coats, but a third can be applied if the client is looking for a shinier look. Our advanced equipment Enables us to clean, rinse and vacuum the floor within seconds, which is the key in producing a deeper cleaning unmatched by any older method previously known. It is important to understand that anything left behind in or on the tile will be trapped under the final finish, so it is imperative that the best method be used.

Raw Mexican Tiles

An inspection of the photo of Mexican tiles to the left will reveal a material highly absorbent and susceptible to deep soil penetration. Ziegler uses the only method that stands a chance of getting that deep soil out.

Just Like... Buttered Leather

What is the old method? Emulsify the wax, rotary scrub the floor then vacuum up the old wax with a wet vac. Rinse by flooding the floor with fresh water... and they do mean flooding. Vacuum up the rinse water with wet vac and... repeat. The old method is obsolete. It allows too much time for the dirt and wax to settle back into the surface of the clay mexican tile which is extremely porous. The flooding of the floor is just that: 'flooding' and constitutes longer dry times and possible damage to subflooring. And... where do they dump the vacuumed up wax and rinse water? Contact Ziegler for floor restoration done properly and without the mess. We vacuum the old finish, the dirt and the rinse water out to our truck for proper disposal back at our plant - Not in your sink or yard!
