RECOMMENDED CLEANING &
MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES FOR
TERRAZZO-WARE
MOP SINKS
3. Special or Unusual Conditions
a. Scum on surface caused by soap, make-up, etc:
Use a cleaning powder, such as Ajax, plus lots of elbow grease.
b. Surface cleaning:
Heel marks, plaster, etc. may require abrasive removal. This can be
done with a wet emery cloth. If emery cloth is ineffective, use an 80 to
100 grit aluminum oxide coated paper. Abrasive cloth or paper will result
in a very faint grinding away of the base surface.
c. Penetrated stains:
Stains such as caused by oil, putty, etc., may be removed by scouring
with a cleanser and then soaking stained surface overnight—if need
be—with a commercial bleach such as Linco, etc.
NOTE: Do not use any acid, e.g., muriatic or cleaning agents that contain acid.
1. Finish Recommendation
Mop sinks are finished prior to shipment, if further sealing is required, use
Spartan Cote Cement Sealer or Equivalent.
2. Regular Cleaning
To maintain the original terrazzo appearance, clean regularly with a liquid
detergent such as Joy, Liquid Ajax or Spic and Span (for the latter, prepare a
solution containing 1/2 cup of Spic and Span in a gallon of water). Scrub with a
stiff bristled, non-metallic scrub brush and then rinse thoroughly.

LEVELING
Level Mop Sink carefully. For proper
installation, establish a 1/4" clearance between
Mop Sink and the walls. A layer of mortar or
sand must be placed in area where the Mop
Sink is to be installed. This procedure is
recommended in order to support Mop Sink
should the sub floor be uneven. Grout should
be exposed along edges.
*NOTE: Inspect and test for proper
drainage.
NOTE: Mortar or sand must cover the entire
area between Mop Sink and building floor.
WARNING!
DO NOT DROP MOP SINK OVER EXPOSED
PIPE.
It is advisable to remove drain pipe and set
Mop Sink in place. Insert pipe through drain in
Mop Sink back into “P” trap. Tighten with an
internal pipe wrench.

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut drain pipe to extend 1-3/8" into
drain body. Drain pipe should be even
with top of gasket when installation is
completed. Position Mop Sink over
3" waste pipe making sure that pipe is
centered in drain body.
2. Lubricate gasket with soap solution and
stretch over 3" pipe with letters facing up.
3. Push gasket as far as possible into joint.
4. Using a hammer and caulking tool or
1/4" X 3/4" X 6" piece of wood instead
of a caulking tool, work around the
gasket with a series of blows and
gradually drive gasket into drain body
until it bottoms. Drain pipe should be
even with the top of gasket.
5. Test connection before covering or
concealing. To test: plug 3" drain and fill
receptor with water. Check for leaks.
Verify proper drainage. This must be
done before finishing walls.
