Posts: 1 09/02/10 02:27 PM	Tags : None I had my kitchen floor covered with elite crete products and sealed with a new sealer that was supposed to give the floor a dimensional look. It all came out beautiful. Several months down the road, the top layer began to turn white. I thought maybe it was wearing down and sanded, applied another coat. This coat bubbled despite backrolling, etc and several months down the road again is turning white. I love the floor but would like to resurface this without taking off the color. Is that possible? I have called my elite crete dealer 4 or 5 times and cant get anyone to come look at the floor. The floor isnt perfectly smooth so sanding very deep is going to leave white areas. Any ideas would be a help! Thanks Leasa

If this is the case then a lot of cleaners will whiten the "wax". If this is the case then a simple floor finish remover and then a re-coat of the "wax". What was used???? You need to use a pH neutral cleaner or just plain water to clean the surface. These swifter's they sell has a cleaner in them that will whiten your floor finish. Well...... that's my guess. Hopefully we can get some real information here and then someone can give an intelligent reply instead of guessing. Yes it could be a moisture problem. I think it could be just about anything at this point. Leasa, do you have a contract stating what was used? That would be helpful. gene ec-Indy
