Maintenance

Implementation of the following maintenance program will allow the Ashford Formula to continue to react with the concrete, lifting contaminants away from the concrete and allowing the marble-like sheen to develop.

Scrub Floor Often:  Minimum routine cleaning 2-3 times per week with CreteClean Plus with Scar Guard provides superior results.

Clean Spills Quickly: After densification is complete, concrete will resist contamination and moisture penetration of most liquids.  Corrosive or aggressively staining contaminants should be removed quickly to avoid possible staining.
