Polyaspartic epoxy floors are an excellent choice for Central Florida’s climate, offering both style and durability for indoor and outdoor spaces. With a few simple maintenance habits, you can keep your floors looking pristine for years to come. While our maintenance packages are designed to handle the tougher, periodic care that extends the life of your floor, regular at-home cleaning ensures it stays in top shape every day.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cleaning Polyaspartic Epoxy Floors
Dust and Sweep Regularly
Start with regular dusting or sweeping to clear away dirt and debris that can scratch the surface. Indoors, a microfiber mop works wonders, while a soft-bristle broom is perfect for patios.
Weekly Damp Mopping
A weekly damp mop with warm water and a drop of pH-neutral cleaner will keep your floor’s finish vibrant. Just be sure to wring out the mop well, as too much water can impact the floor's quality.
Spot-Clean Spills
Wipe spills up quickly with a soft cloth and a mild soap to avoid staining. Tough spots can be treated with diluted vinegar, but avoid overuse.
Monthly Deep Cleaning
For high-traffic areas, a monthly deep clean can help maintain the gloss. Use a polyaspartic-friendly cleaner or warm water with a little dish soap, and mop gently.
Rinse Outdoor Spaces
Hose down outdoor areas to clear away built-up dirt, but avoid high-pressure washers that could harm the coating. For stubborn areas, use a soft brush with mild soap.
10 Things to Avoid with Polyaspartic Epoxy Floors
Avoid Abrasive Scrubbers
Scrubbing pads or steel wool can damage the finish. Stick to soft brushes or microfiber mops.
Skip Harsh Chemicals
Cleaners with bleach, ammonia, or strong acids will dull and weaken the coating over time. Opt for pH-neutral cleaners instead.
Don’t Apply Wax
Polyaspartic epoxy floors don’t need waxing, as they have a built-in shine. Wax can make the surface look cloudy.
Lift, Don’t Drag
Dragging heavy furniture or equipment can scratch the surface. Use felt pads or furniture sliders.
No Standing Water
Avoid leaving water puddles for long, as they can slowly seep in and weaken the bond of the coating.
Use Warm, Not Hot, Water
Hot water can soften the coating over time, so stick with warm water for regular cleaning.
Avoid Solvent-Based Cleaners
Solvents can erode the polyaspartic coating, so it’s best to stay with mild, water-based options.
Careful Vacuuming
Use a hard-floor setting on vacuums to avoid brush marks or scratches.
Keep Sharp Objects Away
Even durable polyaspartic floors can get damaged by sharp objects, so take care with tools or outdoor furniture.
Limit Vinegar Use
A bit of diluted vinegar is okay for tough spots, but frequent use can wear down the coating.
