[cam_low]

I relaid 7 tiles in chelsea last week and the lady wants the whole floor cleaned properly.

Can i use a buffer with particular products to clean her up?

Any advice greatly appreciated

I cleaned up a riven slate floor recently with Ltp grimex and sealed with iron wax satin. Didn't use anything other than a good scrubbing brush and elbow grease. Came up a treat!

I've hired a low speed floor buffer (like the ones they use in schools but slower) with a scrubbing brush as I ran out of elbow grease very quickly. From what I can remember it didn't cost much

If you do hire a machine get one with a good skirt because they can chuck a lot of mess out the sides. You'll defiantly want to take a wet vac with you too

Perfect - the tank feed is really useful, just like the one I hired. Like I said make sure they give you the floating skirt to go with it though
