• Do ask your installing terrazzo contractor to recommend the proper neutral cleaner and sealer to be used on your floor.
• Do dust mop your floors daily. This removes the dust and grit tracked into your building daily. Grit acts as an abrasive on your hard surface. 
• Do scrub your newly installed terrazzo floor a minimum of twice a week for the first two to three months as the construction dust is still in the air and will eventually be deposited onto your floor. After this initial period, scrub your floor weekly or as frequently as the foot traffic requires. Always thoroughly rinse floors to prevent build-up of cleaner residue which may become slippery. 
• Do seal your floors with a sealer in accordance to the manufacturer’s instructions. Typically a new floor requires a minimum of two coats which provide a good sheen for a period of 45 to 60 days before additional coats are required. Sealer used should be classified as slip resistant with a minimum rating of 0.5.
• Do use maintenance product designed for terrazzo.
• Do allow your neutral cleaner, once applied to the terrazzo surface, time to react as designed to loosen foreign matter.
• Several minutes should be sufficient, but DO NOT allow solution to dry on surface.

• Don’t use purely surface waxes or all purpose sealers. Use of these solutions may result in slippery surfaces.
• Don’t use all purpose cleaners containing water soluble inorganic or crystallizing salts, harmful alkalis or acids. Use of these products could be harmful to your terrazzo floor.
• Don’t use cheap cleaners or sealers as the majority of your maintenance cost is labor.
• Don’t try miracle cleaners or sealers on your floor without obtaining the opinion of your local Terrazzo Contractor, Terrazzo & Marble Supply or the National Terrazzo & Mosaic Association.
