21 March 2025 Recovery and Restoration of a Flood-Damaged Tuscan Terracotta Floor

The restoration of a flood-damaged Tuscan terracotta floor is a complex process that requires specific techniques and products. Impresa Pippolo di Timpano Giuseppe, specialised in the treatment of surfaces made of stone materials, carried out a targeted restoration operation, divided into two main phases: de-waxing and protective treatment.

The first phase involved removing old layers of wax and dirt residues with SGRISER, a powerful alkaline-solvent wax remover. Next, VIACEM, a buffered acid detergent, was used to remove cement slurries and salt efflorescence.
After thorough cleaning, EXCEL PLUS was applied, an anti-stain protective agent that penetrates deep into the terracotta without altering its breathability. To complete the treatment, a finish was applied with IDROFIN MATT, a matt wax that protects the surface and facilitates maintenance.

Thanks to the use of professional products and the experience of Impresa Pippolo di Timpano Giuseppe, the floor has regained its original beauty, becoming more resistant to wear and weathering. This type of treatment not only restores the aesthetics of the terracotta but also ensures its durability, reducing the need for future maintenance.

Floor-cleaning robots simplify household cleaning, but to keep them efficient, it is essential to use specific detergents. ROBOGRES and ROBOPARQUET are low-foam concentrated solutions, ideal for porcelain stoneware and parquet, respectively. ROBOGRES prevents streaks, protects surfaces, and leaves a fresh scent, while ROBOPARQUET ensures deep cleaning, quick drying, and gentleness on wooden floors. Both have a neutral pH, making them safe for children and pets. The use of distilled water is recommended to prevent limescale buildup and maintain the robot’s efficiency.
