GREEN MAN RESTORES ‘BLACKTOP’ FLOOR WITH LTP
Blacktop residue is a common issue in the hospitality sector and one which floor restoration and cleaning expert – Green Man – recently tackled in Cheltenham, using intensive cleaning and protection products from LTP.
A black, sticky residue created by spilt sugary drinks, Blacktop tends to be quite pronounced on natural stone floors. The residue can’t be removed with regular cleaning products and creates a tell-tale blackened appearance. The greater the residue, the more difficult cleaning becomes, creating a vicious circle. Heavy footfall and wear compound the issue and tiles quickly look tired and dull. Using the correct products and methods, floors can be completely renovated. In the case of the Cheltenham wedding and entertainment venue, a regular Green Man commercial deep clean restores the appearance and practical features of the flagstones.
At the venue, the cleaning process began with the flagstones being swept to remove loose debris and soiling. A rotary agitation machine was then used to apply LTP Grimex intensive cleaner – a heavy-duty grime remover that’s formulated to react with and remove oil, grease, wax and ingrained dirt. Brushes

on the bottom of the machine gently breakdown the blacktop and the cleaning solution is then given time to dwell and to work on any stubborn soiling, to ensure maximum results are achieved.
Green Man technicians then manually scrubbed the grout lines – the most effective way to get into the joints – before removing the resulting slurry using a wet vac and thoroughly rinsing the surface.
After deep cleaning, LTP Mattstone H2O was then applied to the flagstones. A water-based impregnating sealer, Mattstone helps protect natural and engineered stone surfaces from staining, without changing appearance or compromising the floor’s breathability.

“The finished results here were truly great. The flagstones look so much cleaner and brighter and are all ready to stage more celebrations throughout the year,” explained Green Man’s Jon Gardner.
