Stu,

As much as we all want business it sometime best to leave job that we are not familiar with to the companies that do this type of work.  Many times these jobs we think are simple come back to bit us and we spend time and money we didn’t plan on. Then there is always this possibility to really mess up the floor. My recommendation find a company that does this work refer it to them and build a network partner for the work we know how to do.

Stu,
Some of the rubber floors we have encountered had a sealer or conditioner on top (mainly in gyms - search under rubber running track) and they are pretty fragile. You should find the proper sealer for the rubber. I don't think the international finish will work because it maybe to stiff when is dry.

To clean, I would use marble cleaner and spinner with truck mount. Must be careful and keep spinner moving otherwise you will end up with a circle (halo mark). Set temp to about 150 deg, pressure to about 800psi and don't let the cleaner to dry.
Also use minimal amount of water and be sure it doesn't run into open seams or under baseboards.

If you use floor machine be careful with seams and with painted lines (they cost a lot to repaint).
Call me if you need more help.

We do stone work for a large company who just asked me to clean a rubber floor in a spa(it isnnt in a wet area just 2500 sf of hallways and a reception area and waiting room) and coat it. We will clean it using scrubbing machines and a portable extractor with  alkaline chemicals. I spoke to a couple of topical caotings companies and think I will probably use international finish on the floor. was wondering if anyone has used a coating on a rubeer surface that would be durable and maintainable.
