Terrazzo tiles are timeless—made from a beautiful blend of marble, quartz, and granite chips bound in cement or epoxy. But over time, they lose their brilliance. Dirt, moisture, and improper cleaning methods can cause terrazzo to look dull, stained, or cloudy. Even worse, harsh cleaners can degrade the binding materials and cause long-term damage.
According to a 2020 flooring industry study, over 45% of terrazzo floor owners reported discoloration or dullness within three years, usually due to buildup from waxes, mop water, or exposure to grime. In Jamaica's humid climate, terrazzo is especially vulnerable to moisture retention and mineral staining—making professional cleaning essential.
Whether you have terrazzo in your home, business, or commercial building, regular deep cleaning helps maintain both its appearance and durability.
Here are the most common terrazzo surfaces we clean, in order of popularity:
Dirt, grime, and cleaning product residue can build up over time and obscure the tile’s natural shine. Only deep cleaning can remove this film safely.
Terrazzo is porous if unsealed, allowing liquids to soak in and leave stains that won’t budge with regular mopping.
Old or low-quality sealants can yellow over time. We remove aged wax layers and reapply a clear, protective finish if needed.
Renovation debris or polishing residue can settle on terrazzo. We remove dust, haze, and adhesive safely from all surfaces.
Older homes and institutions often feature original terrazzo floors that require gentle restoration—not aggressive scrubbing.
Terrazzo is sensitive to pH extremes. We use specially formulated products that protect both the stone chips and the binder beneath.
We use diamond pads and mechanical polishers to bring back the luster without removing too much material or scratching the surface.
After cleaning, we offer optional sealing using breathable or high-gloss sealants tailored to your use case and tile type.
Our terrazzo cleaning process begins with a careful inspection to identify stains, old coatings, and traffic wear. We then apply pH-neutral cleaning solutions and use soft rotary brushes or polishing machines with fine-grit pads to lift dirt and remove film buildup. If needed, we use diamond abrasives to lightly polish and restore the stone’s reflection.
We finish by neutralizing the surface and applying a sealant that preserves the look and resists new staining.
Q: What is terrazzo made from?
A: Terrazzo is a composite of marble, granite, or quartz chips embedded in a cement or epoxy base. It’s polished for a smooth, reflective finish.
Q: Can terrazzo tiles be damaged by bleach or vinegar?
A: Yes. Both substances are too harsh and can break down the cement or dull the stone chips.
Q: How often should I get my terrazzo tiles cleaned?
A: Professional cleaning is recommended every 6–12 months, depending on foot traffic and exposure to spills.
Q: Will the cleaning bring back the shine?
A: Yes. Our cleaning and polishing process removes grime and restores the surface's natural luster.
Q: Can you remove yellowing or old wax?
A: Absolutely. We strip old coatings and restore the tile to its original tone before resealing it.
Q: Is terrazzo slippery after cleaning?
A: Not when cleaned correctly. We can apply non-slip treatments if the area is high-traffic or prone to moisture.
Q: Do you seal the terrazzo after cleaning?
A: We offer optional sealing that can be matte, satin, or glossy depending on your preference.
Q: Is this safe for heritage or historic floors?
A: Yes. We use gentle, non-destructive methods suitable for older installations.
Q: How long does the cleaning process take?
A: Most residential spaces take 1–3 hours. Larger commercial areas may take longer based on size and condition.
Q: Is it safe for pets and kids afterward?
A: Yes. Our products are non-toxic and safe once the surface is dry.
