1. Regular Cleaning is Essential

London's busy lifestyle can take its toll on terrazzo floors. Establish a daily cleaning routine:

Sweep or vacuum regularly to remove abrasive particles
Use a pH-neutral cleaner specifically designed for terrazzo
Avoid acidic or harsh chemical cleaners that can damage the surface
Mop with clean, warm water and dry thoroughly

2. Address Spills Immediately

Quick action prevents staining and damage. For stubborn stains, our professional stain removal service can restore your floor's appearance.

3. Professional Polishing Schedule

Regular professional polishing maintains shine and prevents wear. We recommend scheduling maintenance every 12-18 months for high-traffic areas in Fitzrovia offices and Maida Vale homes.

4. Protect Against Scratches

Install protective pads under furniture and consider:

Using entrance mats to trap dirt
Avoiding metal scrubbers or abrasive cleaning tools
Addressing chips and cracks promptly

5. Proper Sealing is Crucial

Professional sealing protects against stains and damage. Learn more in our guide about the benefits of sealing your terrazzo floors.
