I would like to know how to clean terrazo masonry steps that lead up to my front door. They are still in good shape however they look dull, weathered and somewhat discolored. I was told muriatic acid followed by a masonry sealant would do wonders however I am wondering if muriatic acid might be too strong and damage it. Thanks

Hi
Acid is a really bad idea...Terrazzo is portland cement and marble chips...both are seriously damaged by acid. They could be re-ground by a professional...but that could be costly. If there's a terrazzo company in your area, you could call for an estimate.
