Many facility managers have been told that concrete is a no maintenance surface. Many more have discovered that all floor surfaces – regardless of their makeup – require some sort of periodic treatment to maintain desired aesthetics and cleanliness. Choosing the type, amount and timing of a particular treatment can be a challenge to any floor care professional. Amano Pioneer Eclipse developed the PowerStar Hard Floor Maintenance System to help guide professional efforts and give facility managers the flexibility to apply the right amount of treatment as conditions require.
The PowerStar System consists of four major programs:
• Daily Maintenance
• Periodic Maintenance
• Light Restoration
• Full Restoration
The Daily Maintenance Program uses automatic scrubbers, high speed burnishers and PowerPolish™ HT curing pads to maintain the floors appearance. The Periodic Maintenance Program uses Level-S™ polishing pads to remove minor scratches and surface marring. The Light Restoration Program uses more aggressive Level-S grinding pads to address floors with more severe wear. And the Full Restoration Program incorporates special diamond grinding machines to remove surface stock on new, unpolished or heavily damaged surfaces.
Every step in the PowerStar Hard Floor Maintenance System uses a coordinated application of mechanical and chemical products to address a particular floor issue and restore the floor to an acceptable level. The System is flexible and forgiving. PowerStar is easy to learn and implement but it is robust enough to be extremely effective. The important aspect of the PowerStar Hard Floor Maintenance System is that the Daily Maintenance Program – the least aggressive program - is replaced with more aggressive programs only when it cannot achieve acceptable results. The timing of these more aggressive routines may vary from one facility to the next and within a single facility as well. PowerStar addresses this variety of flooring surfaces and customer requirements in one easy system.
