What is Low Maintenance?
Quite simply, Low Maintenance means just that. Less man hours are allocated to provide acceptable levels of protection and appearance. The single most important factor that has allowed for this reduction in maintenance time has been the recent advent of extremely durable raw material polymers available for use in the manufacture of finishes. This significant increase in durability provides several benefits:

• Generally, the use of special "sealers" is no longer required.
• Soils are not easily impacted into the finish's harder surface, so film clarity is vastly improved.
• Black heel marks and other abrasions and traffic wear patterns are greatly reduced.
• "Routine" procedures such as burnishing, re-coating or spray buffing are decreased.
• Stripping cycles are lengthened.
• Routine tasks can be shortened or eliminated.

Who Should Use Low Maintenance?
The Low Maintenance approach is ideal for any organization whose maintenance staffing may be inadequate or one in which budgets need to be reduced. Low Maintenance can be adapted to fit virtually any desired appearance level and labor cost criteria by using almost any existing maintenance procedure. The key, once again, is in the extraordinary durability of these new state-of-the-art floor finishes.

The Ultra family of floor care products last longer and significantly extend the time between stripping and re-coating. New harder, more durable polymer technologies prevent soils from impacting the finish surface. Abrasions and traffic-wear patterns are reduced while gloss is greatly improved. Stripping cycles can be extended and routine burnishing, re-coating or spray buffing can decrease - savings time, labor and maintenance costs.

Ultra Marathon Floor Finish glides on quickly, dries fast and can be re-coated 6 to 10 times without waiting between coats.

Ultra Marathon resists scratching, black heel marks and detergents. Its patented formulation reduces burnishing by 30% and doubles the time between scrubbing, stripping and re-coating as compared to traditional formulations. It eliminates the need for floor sealers and offers virtually foolproof application on any hard surface.

Follow-up with Ultra Restore to reduce maintenance time. Simply mop on (it dries in just a few minutes), hit it with a high-speed burnisher to remove dirt, black heel marks, scratches or scuffs and just watch how fast the gloss responds.

Ultra Restore is the perfect product for a program that uses high speed burnishing and effective walk-in dirt controls such as walk off mats and frequent dusting. Ultra Restore extends the recoating cycle which also reduces stripping frequency, saving even more time and money. Ultra Restore helps conditions your floor's finish and can virtually eliminate stripping. You get increased gloss and durability that extends the life of your total floor care program.

The results with our Low Maintenance Floor program are striking. The extraordinary durability of these new state-of-the-art floor finishes means that comparable appearance levels can be achieved with 1/3 less burnishing, 50% less re-coating, and 50% fewer strip-outs. The chart offers a graphic representation of floor appearance "peaks & valleys" to illustrate the difference between traditional, high maintenance floor care and the more consistent appearance level of our low maintenance program.

The Ultra family of floor care products gives you a high gloss finish that goes down quickly, shines consistently, and outlasts others - all of which adds up to significant time, labor and money savings.
