The Old Dog Asks: Can Something Old And Disgusting Ever Look Good?


Would You Even Try to Make Something as Gross as This Floor Look Good?

One of my customers, a property manager, took me to look at a floor in one of the buildings that are under his care. "Could you possibly do something with this?" he asked. "If not we'll have to rip it out and change it" he added.

The floor in question (about 70 square meters or about 750 square feet) was a made of a green, textured rubber and was about 40 years old! 


The floor covered the entire basement of the condominium and had, not just impacted dirt, but also hard water stains and worn out areas! Keep in mind that this floor was cleaned weekly!

Could my Company Perform a Miracle?

I normally wouldn't have taken on this job but one of our suppliers had shown me a high quality and flexible coloured wax....... and so we decided to give it a shot!


I got my men to give it a double wash using a mono disc scrubber. First with a degreaser and then with the appropriate acid to dissolve the hard water stains.


The dirt and stains have now been removed but as you can see the floor is very warn out! It is, however, ready for the coloured wax. Let's see what this new product can do!



What do you think? The floor looks pretty good now doesn't it?


So Did My Company Perform a Miracle?

Well of course not but it's amazing what you can do with a little work and the right products!


What Do You Think?

° Are we sometimes too quick to discard things that could be fixed?

° Have you ever made something that used to look gross look good?


I hope that you enjoyed this little "miracle".


Until next time,
