HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR EPOXY FLOORING
THE WORRY FREE FLOORING
The maintenance on epoxy flooring is extremely minimalistic:
- Epoxy flooring is to be swept only with a soft bristle brush or a dust mop as a stiff bristle brush can leave mynute scratches in the top coat of the epoxy flooring that can be unsightly when exposed to lighting.
- Once the epoxy flooring is free of loose debris, the flooring will need to be mopped with a standard wet mop. When mopping the floor, make sure not to focus on one area too much when mopping as it can make the surface seem dull.
- Before adding any cleaning agents to the wet mop make sure the chemical is tested. To test the chemical, mask off a tiny area on the flooring that is either in the corner or in an area that is going to be covered, and just use a splash of the material. If the material turns the top coat cloudy, do not use the material, if nothing happens you are good to go.
A special method of maintenance that can be used if the area epoxy flooring has been placed in an area that can be wet is that you can actually use a garden hose to wash down the epoxy flooring. The only risks of using the method are where you use it; please don’t use a hose in your living room; and how it is done.
