Congratulations! The exposed concrete in your facility has been treated with Ashford Formula, the world’s finest densifier of concrete. Your concrete is now undergoing remarkable changes. The surface, through a unique chemical process, will become extremely hard, dense, dust-proof and easy to clean. These changes in your concrete will occur internal over a period of 6 to 12 months. If you should have any concerns about the performance of your floor, at any time, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

What to Expect:

Directly after treatment:

• There is no surface film or coating to peel off or wear away.
• The floor will have a dull washed look or a slight gloss (floors will never shine on a broom or rough textured concrete surface).The floor should be dense and hard (care must be taken to avoid gouging and scraping the floor - See: Concrete Maintenance Instructions).

After 12 Months (with a good maintenance program):

• The floor should have a low satin finish.
• The surface should have a hard shell. Most foods or liquids will not penetrate the surface of the concrete.

Maintenance Tips:

• Do not wax or coat with other sealers. Ashford formula is specifically designed to seal the surface without further treatment.
• Clean often. The water, combined with abrasion, polishes the floor and brings up a shine. Use a black stripping pad on automatic scrubbing equipment (take care not to remain stationary while scrubbing).
• Use a high pH detergent to clean the floor. Acidic cleaners or sweeping compounds will dull the appearance of the surface.
• Clean up spills quickly. Acid concentrates will permanently etch the surface of the concrete. Foods stains such as mustard, grape juice etc. may leave a residual stain if not removed quickly. Keep a good oil-emulsifier on hand to clean up oily or fatty spills.
• Painting or striping can be done at any time (consult with the paint manufacturer for recommended preparation of the concrete floor).
