How do you clean terracotta tiles?
You could use a caustic soda liquid taking care to wear rubber gloves if necessary - just in case - and not to splash around; In fact when I did it I used a mop and bucket! Afterwards rinse with clear water about 7 or 8 times or until the water begins to get clearer. I got great results with lots of dirt and muck removed! Then I gave them the linseed oil treatment. The method I used involved diluting linseed oil with white spirit (a 50/50 mix) and applying to the tiles in numerous coats. You may find it takes quite a few coats depending on how porous your terracotta tiles are, but you should end up with a shiny finish - that way you'll know they're properly sealed . For future cleaning do exactly the same.
What is a explosive power tool?

Why does a linoleum floor yellow?
Linoleum floors turn yellow because of over waxing or wax build up. The old yellow wax will have to be stripped off using a wax stripper. Janitor services do this all the time. After it has been stripped off put a light coat of wax on the floor and it will almost look like new.
Using an alkaline product can cause linoluem to yellow.
In my opinion, this is a easy math question. Just multiply 12 times 15 to get your answer: 180 sq ft

If it is a water base poly, my guess is that a red food coloring or artists watercolor or acrylic paint which also thins with water could add a tint or even real color, depending on the amount used, to give you translucence. You could try it with as little as a tablespoon full of poly and a small dot of watercolor or drops of red food coloring, etc. Mix them on a newspaper and you can surely see and read the result. Mix them in an empty tuna can or metal lid you might discard if you need to try a larger amt. Apply and let dry. Adjust as needed. Alizarin Crimson is the color for a cool red--such as a rose flower--and very translucent. A warmer Christmas red, and not so transparent, might be an Acra red in acrylics. Any craft section of large stores often carry small 1-2 oz bottles of many acrylic colors and tiny to larger tubes of watercolor. You'll find liquid or powdered food coloring in the cake decorating section. Try WM, Miklz, JoAnz, HbbyLby--if you get those encoded names.

How do I clean an epoxy resin floor?
FLOOR MAINTENANCE AND GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING. If regular care is provided and recommended guidelines observed, the decorative appearance and life of all Epoxy Products Flooring Systems will be extended. i) Care Immediately after Installation The new flooring system should be allowed to fully cure before being used. The following perimeters apply -: Careful Foot traffic - 24 hours at 20°C, 48 hours at 8°C Full Mechanical and Chemical Loading - 7 days at 20°C, 14 days at 8°C Washing with water must not occur until the curing cycle is completed i.e. not within 7 days. ii) Cleaning Cleaning regularly is necessary to maintain the appearance and prolong the life of the flooring system. Our General Purpose Cleanser is an ideal product for epoxy resin floors. The use of Washer Scrubber Dryer machines incorporating the recommended cleaners would be the best, most effective method of cleaning the floor. Abrasive cleansers must not be used. Acid based cleansers must not be used. Strong alkali based cleansers must not be used in concentration form. Solvent cleansers must not be used although some solvent "activated" cleansers are suitable. Scraping of the surface should be avoided however plastic scrapers or squeegees with rounded corners are more gentle to the floors surface. iii) Polishing Having washed the floor the application of approved clear polymer glaze coats or wax polishes are recommended to protect the upper surface from minor scratches and abrasions. Wax modified cleansers will provide improved scratch resistance. The "metallic polishes" will provide immediate protection and we recommend three or more coats are applied following a maintenance washing. Three or more coats can easily be applied in one day. Having done so repeated applications of polish should be made every three months. iii) Accidental Impact Damage We advise contacting Epoxy Products Contracts Division as soon as possible to ensure remedial measures can be effected in order to retain the performance of the Epoxy Coating system and prevent water or chemical ingress into the damaged area. iv) Accidental Scratch or Scoring Damage Should the flooring surface become scratched or scored by abrasive materials then we would immediately recommend the surface is cleaned with an approved cleanser and an approved polish or glaze coat is applied to the surface. This will protect the floor from further minor scratches. Repeat applications building up the thickness of the polish or glaze coat will provide improved scratch resistance. v) Spillage's and Deposits Regular sweeping and cleaning is advised as dirt and dust are abrasive and can prematurely age the surface. Spillage of chemicals i.e., petrol or oil should be cleaned up immediately as with all good cleaning procedures. After chemical spillage's, certain chemicals may cause some colour changes. This usually is caused by a surface reaction only and will not impair the mechanical performance of the flooring system. If in doubt, contact Epoxy Products Technical Services Department for assistance. Cleaning Methods i) Hand Cleaning The floor can be cleaned by the use of a mop and bucket using our approved cleanser. It is important the floor is finally rinsed with clean water to avoid smearing contaminated water across the floor. The main problem associated with this cleaning method is drying the floor effectively without allowing contaminated water to puddle upon the surface and leave a dirty smear effect when dry. This method of cleaning is normally only recommended for cleansing small areas of localised spillage. ii) Washer Scrubber Dryer Machines Technical advances in floor maintenance equipment over the past decade has provided industry with low cost, highly efficient machines applying low foam cleansers with vacuum suction drying. The use of these machines is recommended as being the most effective method of cleaning floors with minimum disruption. iii) Wet Vacuum Pick Up Machines Having washed the floor with copious amounts of water and cleanser the floor can be dried efficiently by passing over the area with a Wet Vacuum Pick Up Machine. These machines will dry the floor extremely well leaving a clean dry surface. To achieve best results final rinsing with cold clean water maybe necessary to remove and pick up any fine sediment of dirt that remains upon the surface. iv) Power washing A highly effective method of cleaning but difficult to control and to remove the large volumes of water left upon the floor. Should the floor levels be variable then water puddles maybe created and difficult to remove. If this should occur then the problem of dirt sediment as mentioned above may result. v) Steam Cleaning The use of a steam cleaner is not recommended for this particular flooring system. Excessive heat shock may cause swelling, blistering and subsequent adhesion failure to this flooring system.
What can you cover a poorly maintained quarry tiled kitchen floor with any suggestions?
It would be so much better if you removed the quarry tile since putting an overlay would raise the floor in places where you probably don't want it to be higher.
You should be able to chip it off of the cement floor...and the results will also be superior.
How much tiles you need to tile a floor 10 ft by 12 ft using tiles?
Number of tiles required = roundup(area to be covered/area of each tile) where both are measures are expressed in the same units.
For the above calculation, you need to know the size of the tiles. You also need to know how "well-behaved" the area is. That will give an idea of how many tiles need to be cut. Then, depending on your skill level, you need to get 5-10% extra.
The room is 110 sq feet which is 12.2 yards
beyond that your question is more confusing than enlightening
If you think there are 6 yards in a box, that doesnt make much sense with 20 tiles per box I think you need more & better info
