Diamabrush - D.I.Y. Polished Concrete Maintenance

Program Overview

Diamabrush Based Maintenance Program. Diamabrush programs allow customers to maintain their own polished concrete floors by using patented Diamabrushes as part of their routine cleaning procedures. Standard filament auto-scrubber brushes are replaced with Diamabrushes. Through normal autoscrubbing, Diamabrushes continually polish and improve polished concrete so that it never loses its shine. Because floors are continually honed, their surface stays closed inhibiting stains and deterioration. Stores are able to realize significant savings by incorporating Diamabrushes into their normal daily cleaning procedures.

Advantages of a Diamabrush Maintenance Program

1. Utilizes existing cleaning procedures
2. Cost effective
3. Maintains continuous consistent shine levels
