A method is disclosed for treating or maintaining a hard surface comprising a stone or stone-like material, the method comprising treatment of the surface with a flexible pad, in the presence of abrasive particles, bonded to the pad, on a contact surface between the pad and the hard surface, wherein the abrasive particles comprise diamond particles, and the treatment is performed in the absence of an effective amount of crystallization agent on the contact surface. The treatment is performed on a substantially regular basis, such as daily, weekly or monthly, and the treatment is performed using a pad comprising an open, lofty, three dimensional non-woven webs of fibers. A tool for use in the method is also provided, as well as a floor-surfacing machine comprising such a tool and a method for manufacturing such a tool. Furthermore, methods for treating or maintaining hard, smooth surfaces such as wood, polymer material, lacquer, linoleum, gelcoat, glass and automotive enamel are disclosed. 1. (canceled)2. A method for maintaining a hard , smooth floor surface comprising a polymer material , the method comprising:treating the hard, smooth floor surface with a flexible pad comprising an open, lofty, three dimensional non-woven web of fibers, in the presence of abrasive particles, bonded to the pad, on a contact surface between the pad and the hard, smooth floor surface,wherein the abrasive particles comprise diamond particles of an average diameter of 0.1 to 30 μm, preferably 0.1 to 15 μm or 3 to 6 μm, andwherein treating the hard, smooth floor surface is performed using said pad having:abrasive particles bonded thereto only in a vicinity of the contact surface,the fibers of the flexible pad are bonded to each other by a primary binder and/or via melt-bonding, and have the abrasive particles bonded thereto by a secondary binder,the abrasive particles are present throughout the secondary binder,a first portion of the flexible pad has the abrasive particles present in a ...
