Procedure:Sprinkle the floor with water and sprinkle with Devo Marble Renewer powder. Max. 5 to 6 m² at one time. Then polish with the Devoboy machine + machine agitation + white pad. A yellowish cream is produced that should remain constant. Too dry: add a little water. Too wet: add powder. Per 5 to 6 m² ±20 to 25 min. Overlapping polishing. Once the water-resistant gloss has developed (to be checked with a floor squeegee), rinse thoroughly with water (Devo rinse and vacuum machine). When the surface is completely treated, mop the floor. After drying, machine polish with a dry white pad. The gloss depends on the lime content of your floor. For marble stairs, windowsills, fireplaces, corners, baseboards, walls, etc., use a small rotary machine. Use a small rotary machine. For polishing vertical parts, make Devo Marble Renewer cream in a jar. Then mix 2 parts powder with 1 part water.
