Epoxy floors need maintenance to keep them looking clean and aesthetically appealing. Regular epoxy floor maintenance can keep your floors in top condition and extend their durability. ATK Epoxy Floors is the team to call when you need maintenance or want to install the epoxy floor Staten Island residents trust. Here are some of our tips for daily, weekly, and seasonal maintenance for your epoxy floors:
1. Daily Maintenance
Epoxy floors don’t require intense daily cleaning or maintenance to keep them looking nice. This low-maintenance flooring type requires less upkeep than traditional concrete, wood, and tile flooring. Simply sweep your epoxy floors daily if you experience high volumes of traffic or debris. Sweeping removes materials that can cause scratches and other signs of wear and tear on the floor’s surface. Epoxy is resistant to harsh chemicals, but it is good practice to wipe up any spills immediately. Promptly cleaning any spills can help prevent stains, corrosion, and slip accidents.
2. Weekly Maintenance
Keep your epoxy floor Staten Island garage looking sleek and fresh by establishing a weekly cleaning routine. This deeper cleaning can help remove the buildup of dust and fine dirt that comes with working in your shop with the doors open. You can use a fine-bristle broom or dust mop to remove any loose debris. Clean up surface stains using warm water and a mop directly on the epoxy floor. For stubborn stains, mop with a mixture of ammonia and warm water. Avoid mopping with soap products to prevent the buildup of filmy soap residue on the floor’s surface.
3. Seasonal Maintenance
Epoxy floors are durable, but they can experience some wear and tear throughout the year. If your epoxy floor is peeling, bubbling, uneven, or has large gouges or scratches, consider contacting your installer for special maintenance. Your installer should be able to fill any significant scratches or apply a new coating to create a smooth, scratch-free surface. Recoating your epoxy floors can restore the original aesthetic appeal of the first installation. A fresh coat also improves the durability of your epoxy floor. Epoxy floors can last for several years with proper, professional maintenance.
