Abstract
A process and device for treating and repairing a hard surface consisting of a polymer film, such as a floor surface, are provided. The process comprises the steps of: (i) cleaning said surface with an aqueous cleaning product comprising 0.1-20% by weight of a surfactant and 0.1-80% by weight of a solvent; (ii) applying to the cleaned floor surface a liquid repair product, the properties of which, after drying thereof, being similar to those of the polymer film; and (iii) allowing the thus-treated floor to dry for at least 5 minutes. The device is a manually operated floor treating device specially adapted for use in said process.
Claims4
A process for treating and preparing a hard surface having a polymer film, said process comprising the steps of:
- i) cleaning a hard surface having a polymer film with an aqueous cleaning product comprising:
- a) 1-5% by weight of an aminoxide,
- b) a solvent mixture including 1-20% by weight of gamma
- butyrolactone and 1-20% by weight of methylic diester of glutaric, succinic and adipic acids, and
- c) 1-10% by weight of a builder selected from the group consisting of citrates, phosphates and mixtures thereof, percentages based on the total composition of said aqueous cleaning product, to obtain a cleaned floor surface having said polymer film thereon;
- ii) applying to the polymer film of the cleaned floor surface a liquid repair product which dries to provide a repaired surface exhibiting properties as those exhibited by the polymer film including hardness, wear resistance, stick resistance, water resistance, gloss, removability and transparency;
- and
- iii) allowing the repaired surface to dry for at least five minutes.
