How to deal with self-leveling ground corroded by laundry detergent
Self-leveling flooring is a common indoor floor decoration material, which is widely welcomed because of its easy cleaning, non-slip, and beautiful appearance. However, if left unattended, some items of daily use may cause corrosion and damage to self-leveling grounds. Among them, laundry detergent is a common source of corrosion. When laundry detergent comes into contact with self-leveling floors, it can cause a chemical reaction that can cause spots, discoloration, or damage to the floor. Here's how to deal with self-leveling floors corroded by laundry detergent.
1. Determine the degree of corrosion.
First of all, it is necessary to determine the degree of corrosion of the self-leveling ground. If only a few small spots or discoloration appear, then you can try to fix it yourself;If the corrosion is severe and there are obvious dents or breakages, then it is necessary to ask a professional to repair it.
2. Repair methods for minor corrosion.
For minor corrosion, try to repair it yourself. Here's how:
1.Clean the surface: Use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the surface stains clean, especially the area around the corroded area, so as not to affect the repair effect.
2.Application of restorative agent: Apply a special self-leveling ground restorative to the corroded area. Be careful to apply evenly and without air bubbles.
3.Wait for drying: Allow the restorative to dry naturally, usually for a few hours.
4.Grinding treatment: After the repair agent is dry, use fine sandpaper to gently polish the ground to make the surface smooth and flat.
5.Cleaning and curing: Finally, use a clean, damp cloth to wipe the floor and apply a curing agent to avoid corrosion again.
3. Repair methods for severe corrosion.
If the self-leveling ground is more corroded and there are obvious dents or breakages, then it is necessary to ask a professional to repair it. According to the degree of corrosion and damage, professionals will take corresponding repair measures, such as local grinding, filling repair, overall renovation, etc.
4. Preventive measures.
In order to avoid self-leveling floors from being corroded by laundry detergent, the following precautions can be taken:
1.Avoid using laundry detergent to clean floors: When cleaning self-leveling floors, it is best to use a special detergent or neutral detergent and avoid using strong acids or alkaline detergents such as laundry detergent.
2.Clean up in time: Once corrosive substances such as laundry detergent come into contact with the self-leveling ground, wipe it clean with water in time to avoid deepening corrosion.
3.Keep your room well ventilated: Keeping your room well ventilated can reduce the corrosion of the ground by moisture and chemicals in the air.
4.Regular maintenance: Regular maintenance of self-leveling ground, such as waxing, painting, etc., can enhance the corrosion resistance of the ground.
5.Choose high-quality materials: Choosing high-quality self-leveling materials can enhance the durability and corrosion resistance of the ground.
In conclusion, self-leveling ground corrosion by laundry detergent is a relatively common problem, but with the right treatment methods and preventive measures, this problem can be effectively avoided and solved. In daily use, it is necessary to avoid using strong acid or alkaline detergents, clean up corrosive substances in time, maintain indoor ventilation and regular maintenance, etc., so as to prolong the service life of self-leveling ground and maintain aesthetics.
