Terrazzo Floor Cleaning: The Ins and Outs

You may not know what terrazzo is, but chances are you have seen it countless times. Terrazzo is one of the most popular materials for floors, patios, columns, counters, and other structures. Terrazzo is a composite material made out of marble, quartz, sand, granite, and other minerals that are mixed, poured, grounded, polished, and finally sealed.

Terrazzo is unique in that it can be smooth and flat or rough and bumpy, depending on the wishes of the designer. And because it is incredibly resistant to dirt and damage, it is ideal for floors that receive a lot of traffic (such as a lobby or hallway). They are also well-known for needing only minimal upkeep because of their resilience.

However, when the time calls for cleaning, terrazzo cleaning services can restore your floor to as good as new. Terrazzo floor cleaning and terrazzo polishing are services that are offered by professionals with the tools and known-how necessary to get the job done. Whether your floor is one large structure or composed of separate tiles, floor cleaning professionals will know just what to do for their clients. Tile cleaning in particular can be tricky considering its edges, so leaving it to the pros is a smart idea.

One reason why terrazzo is so popular is because it has been around for a while. The earliest use of terrazzo according to archaeological evidence in modern-day Turkey occurred more than 10,000 years ago! Terrazzo was extensively used during the Italian Renaissance and even made its first appearance in the Western hemisphere in the early 18th century. Needless to say, terrazzo (and its cleaners) have been alive and kicking for a long, long time.
