2. To damp mop, use a 1 to 3 dilution of Statguard
Floor Finish in water (1 part Statguard to 3 parts
water). Let dry thoroughly. The mop and bucket
should be dedicated to Statguard use only.
MOP and RECOAT PROGRAM
To replenish solids that are worn away over time, a
mop and recoat can be done after cleaning the surface.
This can improve gloss and snap back electrical
properties.
1. Follow the Damp Mop Program to clean the surface
above (do not use the floor cleaner)
2. Pour Statguard Floor Finish (undiluted) into a
clean and dedicated mop bucket and apply a
medium coat with a clean rayon (or cotton blend)
mop using a figure 8 motion.
3. Let the coat dry (at least 60 minutes), then apply a
second coat if needed. Do not use forced air
drying.
FLOOR CLEANER PROGRAM
Statguard Floor Cleaner will clean surface stains
and heel marks. As a cleaner it will reduce the gloss
of the floor. Do not re-apply Statguard finish after
using Statguard Floor Cleaner, see Mop and Recoat
program.
Heavy-Moderate Traffic:
Clean once a week, or as dictated by floor appearance.
Low Traffic Floors:
Clean floors as dictated by floor appearance.
1. Dust mop with untreated mop.
2. Dilute Statguard Dissipative Floor Cleaner 10 parts
clean water to 1 part Floor Cleaner. For example,
use five (5) gallons of clean water to two (2) quarts
of floor cleaner.
3. Damp mop floor with cleaner solution and let
dry thoroughly. The mop and bucket should be
dedicated to Statguard use only.
DRY BURNISH PROGRAM
Heavy-Moderate Traffic:
A dry burnish program will increase gloss and remove
surface imperfections.
Dry burnish once a week or as dictated by floor
appearance.
Low Traffic Floors:
Dry burnish as dictated by floor appearance.
1. Dust mop with an untreated mop.
2. Dry burnish at 1000-2000 rpm.
3. After dry burnish, dry mop the area with an
untreated dry mop if necessary.
FLAT MOP PROGRAM (OPTIONAL)
1. Flat mop can come with a refillable dispenser, that
allows for easier determination of proper amount of
Floor Finish / sq ft. For example, if the floor finish
application rate is 1 gallon / 2000 sq ft, a 32 oz
dispenser holds 500 sq ft of finish.
2. Flat mopping systems reduce workers fatigue as
they are lighter in weight. Roughly three pounds
when wet vs the traditional cotton loop mops which
can weigh eight to ten pounds when wet.
3. The Flat mop with dispenser is faster, as one does
NOT need to constantly “dip the mop and squeeze
out excess”.
4. The flat mop doesn’t hold as much residual finish
as a string mop, so the application of the proper
amount of Floor Finish, is more precise.
Equipment needed:
Clean rayon (or cotton blend) mop, dedicated to
Statguard Floor Finish use only
Bucket dedicated to Statguard Floor Finish use
only.
Flat mop (Optional)
1. Pour Statguard Floor Finish into a clean and
dedicated mop bucket and apply with a clean rayon
(or cotton blend) mop using a figure 8 motion.
2. Let the first coat dry (at least 60 minutes), then
apply a second coat. Do not use force air drying.
3. Let second coat dry for (at least 60 minutes) to
yield a bright gloss. Repeat application to attain
higher gloss and higher conductivity (two coats
will provide acceptable dissipative resistance on
most floors). Keep traffic from the floor for at least
six hours after the last coat is applied. See dry
time recommendations on page 2 in this technical
bulletin.
4. One or preferably two additional coats of floor finish
should be applied if the floor is to be maintained by
dry burnishing or spray buffing.
5. Maintain the polish following the Dust Mop, Damp
Mop, Floor Cleaner, Dry Burnish, or Spray Buff
maintenance procedure below.
