Maintenance – Terrazzo maintenance kit

Instructions for restoring the color of a terrazzo statue or pedestal.

Remove any wax layer with coarse sandpaper. (P80)

Make the statue or plinth free of grease and dust.

Do this outdoors and, if necessary, wear a face mask.

Use a waterproof fine sandpaper (P400).

This waterproof sandpaper needs to be moistened with water. Dip it regularly in a bucket of water.

Sand the statue or plinth smooth with this constantly wet sandpaper.

If there is no significant wax layer left and the image is not rough, you may not need both sandpapers.

The image below works best when the image is at the right temperature, i.e. in a sunny environment.

Shake the bottle of Chinese ink before use.

Next, apply the Chinese ink with a cloth. Be careful with this pigment to avoid spilling it on your clothing and the surface where you're working. Rub the Chinese ink thoroughly into the statue or pedestal and let it soak in briefly. Remove any excess ink with a damp cloth.

After this, wipe out the ink.

After this, the black wax can be applied and polished off with a lint-free cloth.

Finally, we wish you many years of enjoyment with your statue and/or pedestal.
