Epoxy flooring is built to last. With its extreme durability and longevity, it stands strong as one of the top choices for commercial, industrial, and even residential spaces. To keep your epoxy floors looking brand new and to extend their lengthy life span even more, proper care and upkeep is necessary.
Let’s look at some practical tips to help you keep your epoxy floors looking as good as the day they were installed.
1. Routine Cleaning
- Sweep the floor daily with a soft-bristle broom or use a dust mop to remove any dirt and debris that can scratch the surface.
- For a deeper clean, mop the floor with a mild cleaner mixed with water. This will prevent dirt and debris from building up.
- Avoid using acidic cleaners, as they can damage the epoxy.
2. Swift Spill Cleanup
- Wipe up any spills with a soft cloth or paper towel in a prompt manner to prevent staining.
- Use a gentle cleaner to remove tougher stains, such as chemical or oil spills.
- Addressing spills quickly will allow the floor to maintain its natural condition.
3. Take Preventative Measures
- Place rugs or mats at entryways to catch dirt and water before it reaches the epoxy floor.
- Use protective pads under heavy equipment or furniture to avoid scratching or damaging the floor.
4. Avoid Harsh Chemicals
- Harsh chemicals and course cleaning tools can damage the surface of epoxy floors. Avoid using abrasive bushes and harsh chemical cleaners.
- Use mild cleaners and soft tools to keep your floor looking its best.
5. Topcoat Reapplication
- The topcoat of your epoxy floor may show wear over time, specifically in high traffic areas.
- Reapplying a topcoat every few years will help preserve the floor’s shine and unique features.
