Only use this solution on terrazzo that has been sealed with commercial sealer or the moisture will soak into the pores. If an entire floor needs to be cleaned, opt for steam cleaning rather than using this solution.
Before cleaning a terrazzo floor, make sure it is has been commercially sealed. It should have a smooth, glossy look. If it appears rough or dull, consult a flooring professional before doing any cleaning.
Mineral-filled water will also leave residue on the inside of your steam cleaner which will eventually make it ineffective for cleaning. Some steam cleaners require you to add detergent, but the best type to use for terrazzo floors are steam cleaners that do not use soap.
Do not leave the steamer sitting on a spot for more than 15 seconds as this can begin to damage the floor.
For terrazzo floors in your home, considering keeping your shoes off of them altogether.
If you don’t have a dust mop, sweep the floor with a broom or use a Swiffer style sweeper with a dusting cloth attached.
