<li>Avoid contaminating the EcoPads™ by using them only on a clean surface.</li>
<li>Pad contamination is a major problem. This is how most people ruin the pads; they don&#8217;t wear them out.</li>
<li>Thoroughly clean and rinse the surface to be polished before using the pads.</li>
<li>Store the pads in the box making sure that the pads are NEVER diamond face to diamond face.</li>
<li>Stack them with the colored side up.</li>
<li>It is better to under use the pads than to overuse them.</li>
<li>Overusing the 200 grit brown EcoPad™, the 400 grit black EcoPad™, or 800 grit red EcoPad™ may result in a textured appearance or the &#8220;orange peel&#8221; effect. That can only be removed by honing the floor with a resin bond diamond pad.</li>
<li>You only need enough water to keep the surface wet; you don&#8217;t need puddles.</li>
<li>Edge work can be done by using the 5&#8243; or 7&#8243; pads with a hand tool.<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-348" title="ecopad_ref" src="http://www.ecostonesolutions.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/ecopad_ref.jpg" alt="ecopad_ref" width="739" height="550" /></li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Sandstone – Care Instructions</h2>
<p>Natural stone and grout should be protected to prevent or minimize damage from staining. Stained surfaces are often difficult or impossible to restore. Follow tile and stone installation procedures described by the Marble Institute of America and the Tile Contractors Association then read all instructions on product labels &amp; MSDS completely before any products use. Allow adhesives, mortar and grout to cure according to manufacturer recommendations before cleaning or the application of protective treatments. Be sure to use the appropriate neutral cleaner designed for natural stone surfaces as improper cleaners may damage the stone, tile or protective treatments.<br />
<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Protection (against water and oil staining) – Interior Surfaces:</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Vacuum or sweep off all debris. Surface must be clean and dry prior to application.</li>
<li>Mask off and protect areas such as baseboards or adjacent surfaces not intended for treatment.</li>
<li>Apply an even coat of EcoStone Solution’s Travertino &amp; Marmo Impregnator using a paint pad, paint brush, paint roller, or low-pressure sprayer delivering a coarse wet spray. Only apply product to dry surfaces (or damp surfaces one hour or more after moisture has been removed).</li>
<li>Allow penetration for 10-15 minutes, then wipe off all remaining product immediately.</li>
<li>A full cure can be expected in 48-72 hours. Foot traffic can begin after 4 hours.</li>
<li>Expected coverage is 700-800 Sq. Feet (75 Sq. Meters) per gallon.</li>
<li>Reapply Travertino &amp; Marmo Impregnator as annually or as needed for periodic maintenance. This will depend on sun exposure, traffic conditions, maintenance procedures, etc.</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Protection (water repellency) – Exterior surfaces:</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Vacuum or sweep off all debris. Surface must be clean and dry prior to application.</li>
<li>Mask off and protect areas such as baseboards or adjacent surfaces not intended for treatment.</li>
<li>Liberally apply an even coat of EcoStone Solution’s Basic Impregnator with a brush, paint brush, paint pad or low pressure sprayer.</li>
<li>Allow product to penetrate the surface for 10-15 minutes. Make sure product is distributed evenly over the surface.</li>
<li>Do not apply second coat as a visible surface residue may form. If a surface residue does form, immediately re-emulsify using product and scrub surface with a white nylon pad to loosen residue, and wipe off with an absorbent towel.</li>
<li>Surface will be ready to foot traffic in 4 hours. Full cure is achieved in 48-72 hours.</li>
<li>Expected coverage is 700-800 Sq. Feet (75 Sq. Meters) per gallon.</li>

<li>Mask off and protect areas such as baseboards or adjacent surfaces not intended for treatment.</li>
<li>Liberally apply an even coat of EcoStone Solution’s Enhance &amp; Protect onto surface using a paint brush, paint pad, or roller.</li>
<li>Allow to penetrate the surface for 15-30 minutes. Harder material may require more time to penetrate. Distribute evenly over entire area to insure even penetration. Wipe completely dry.</li>
<li>Repeat process for a second coat.</li>
<li>A third coat may be needed for porous absorbent materials or if a darker shade is desired.</li>
<li>A full cure is expected in 72 hours. Foot traffic may begin in 4-6 hours.</li>
<li>Expected coverage is 400-500 Sq Ft (38-47 Sq. Meters) per gallon.</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Restoration cleaning (removal of embedded grease, grime, scum, etc.):</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Vacuum or sweeping off all debris.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Polished Travertine – Care Instructions</h2>
<p>Natural stone and grout should be protected to prevent or minimize damage from staining. Stained surfaces are often difficult or impossible to restore. Follow tile and stone installation procedures described by the Marble Institute of America and the Tile Contractors Association then read all instructions on product labels &amp; MSDS completely before any products use. Allow adhesives, mortar and grout to cure according to manufacturer recommendations before cleaning or the application of protective treatments. Be sure to use the appropriate neutral cleaner designed for natural stone surfaces as improper cleaners may damage the stone, tile or protective treatments.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Protection (against water and oil staining) – Interior Surfaces:</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Vacuum or sweep off all debris. Surface must be clean and dry prior to application.</li>
<li>Mask off and protect areas such as baseboards or adjacent surfaces not intended for treatment.</li>
<li>Apply an even coat of EcoStone Solution’s Travertino &amp; Marmo Impregnator using a paint pad, paint brush, paint roller, or low-pressure sprayer delivering a coarse wet spray. Only apply product to dry surfaces (or damp surfaces one hour or more after moisture has been removed).</li>
<li>Allow penetration for 10-15 minutes, then wipe off all remaining product immediately.</li>
<li>A full cure can be expected in 48-72 hours. Foot traffic can begin after 4 hours.</li>
<li>Expected coverage is 700-800 Sq. Feet (75 Sq. Meters) per gallon.</li>
<li>Reapply Travertino &amp; Marmo Impregnator as annually or as needed for periodic maintenance. This will depend on sun exposure, traffic conditions, maintenance procedures, etc.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Limestone – Care Instructions</strong></span><br />
Natural stone and grout should be protected to prevent or minimize damage from staining. Stained surfaces are often difficult or impossible to restore. Follow tile and stone installation procedures described by the Marble Institute of America and the Tile Contractors Association then read all instructions on product labels &amp; MSDS completely before any products use. Allow adhesives, mortar and grout to cure according to manufacturer recommendations before cleaning or the application of protective treatments. Be sure to use the appropriate neutral cleaner designed for natural stone surfaces as improper cleaners may damage the stone, tile or protective treatments.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br />
Protection (against water and oil staining) – Interior Surfaces:</strong></span></p>
<ol>
<li>Vacuum or sweep off all debris. Surface must be clean and dry prior to application.</li>
<li>Mask off and protect areas such as baseboards or adjacent surfaces not intended for treatment.</li>
<li>Apply an even coat of EcoStone Solution’s Granito Impregnator using a paint pad, paint brush, paint roller, or low-pressure sprayer delivering a coarse wet spray. Only apply product to dry surfaces (or damp surfaces one hour or more after moisture has been removed).</li>
<li>Allow penetration for 10-15 minutes and then apply a second coat. Make sure product is distributed evenly over the surface.</li>
<li>Allow penetration for 10-15 minutes, then wipe off all remaining product immediately.</li>
<li>A full cure can be expected in 48-72 hours. Foot traffic can begin after 4 hours.</li>
<li>Expected coverage is 400 Sq. Feet (37 Sq. Meters) per gallon.</li>
<li>Reapply Granito Impregnator as annually or as needed for periodic maintenance. This will depend on sun exposure, traffic conditions, maintenance procedures, etc.</li>
</ol>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Protection (water repellency) – Exterior surfaces:</strong></span></p>
<ol>
