Pete and Rob were back for another large job at the beautiful barn in Cheltenham that we wrote about recently, this time to rejuvenate these flagstones.
These flagstones are in a bar area of a popular wedding and entertainment venue, so understandably they have a lot of wear and tear, including drinks being spilt and walked over.
This creates a layer of what is known as ‘Blacktop’. When sugary drinks get spilt and dried, in spite of domestic cleaning, this sticky substance can remain and get moved around the floor with cleaning processes that are not quite thorough enough. This sticky substance attracts dirt and soil and creates this blackened appearance, as you can see in the image on the right.
Our process to remove this blacktop and bring these flagstones to their best involves;
- – Sweeping to remove loose soil and dirt
- – Rotary agitation of the flagstones using a specific solution to break down and remove blacktop and other embedded soil and grime. This solution is left to dwell on the floor before being removed to allow time for the solution to penetrate deep down.
- – Manually scrubbing the grout
- – Extract the slurry with a wet vacuum
- – This process is then repeated where necessary
- – The floors are then rinsed
As you can see from the image on the right, these flagstones are looking fresh and clean after Pete and Rob’s hard work.
These stunning flagstones have received the full Green Man deep clean, and as a result they are looking gorgeous and ready to host some further celebrations.
