Deer trails.

 

[Mikey P]

That's with double strength Tsunami, stripper boost, Nylagrit 175 super slow pre scrub and 1200 psi turbo rinse...

Did you try an acid wash to see if any of that was just bleach/soap residue from a stupid mopper?

 

[Mikey P]

yep, no effect.

 

[Trip Moses]

Straight up acid cleaner?

 

[Mikey P]

Straight up acid cleaner?

Are you asking if I used undiluted acid cleaner?

No my next Prochem's restoration acid 50/50 and not even the slightest fizz or effect

Yes. Straight up for a test spot. Muriatic acid. But, if the 50/50 had no effect, probably a waste of time. May need a top of the line stripper with generous dwell.
PS. I would only personally experiment with muratic acid on a floor that is in dire straits. Because I know that you yelling at me through the screen.

 

[Mikey P]

There is no topical coating on this floor.

 

[Trip Moses]

I wasn’t thinking that there was a topical.

 

[Clean Rug Doug]

Looks like they had something with two front legs sitting there. Whatever it was protected that area from whatever happened to the rest of the floor.

 

[Hack Attack]

did they have rubber mats down, is that commercial?

 

[Mikey P]

Yes it's a restaurant

where they had rubber mats in the kitchen there's nowhere like this and the tiles look perfect wherever people were walking around the furniture in the dining room created this look

[Hack Attack]

 

[Mikey P]

Yeah I've never seen anything like it , either as Brian Thompson


and I cleaned the living shit out of it, literally.

Befores

 

[DAT]

It may have penetrated and permanently discolored it, since ya did everything you could.

 

[BIG WOOD]

Maybe a hot floor stripper 3:1 would be possible

 

[BIG WOOD]

If acid didn’t touch it...I know tsunami is hot, so I’m just throwing guesses out there

 

[Lee Stockwell]

It is what it is.

Move on.

need to add an abrasive like lava to your cleaner, then mono with your brush.
