Epoxy flooring offers a clean, durable surface with minimal upkeep required. Whether installed in a garage, basement, commercial facility, or warehouse, regular care is essential to maintain the floor’s condition and appearance.
At Epoxy Pro PA, we want to make sure you get the most from your investment. The following maintenance guide outlines recommended practices and tools to help keep your epoxy floor in good condition.
Dirt and grit can cause gradual wear to the surface of epoxy floors. To reduce this risk, we recommend sweeping frequently with a soft-bristle broom or dust mop.
Tip: To make the process more efficient for larger areas, use a microfiber dust mop or a vacuum with a soft brush attachment.
For routine cleaning, use a mop and warm water combined with a pH-neutral cleaner. Avoid acidic or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can affect the surface finish over time.
A simple solution is to mix a few drops of Dawn dish soap or Simple Green into a gallon of warm water. We regularly recommend these safe and effective options to our clients.
Although epoxy is resistant to stains, cleaning up oil, grease, or chemical spills right away can help avoid long-term buildup or surface damage.
How to clean spots: Use a soft-bristle brush with warm water and mild soap. Do not ever use steel wool or abrasive pads, as they may scratch the floor coating.
In spaces that experience heavier foot traffic, vehicle use, or frequent equipment movement, we recommend adding protective floor mats, rubber pads, or carpet runners. These can be especially useful in garage bays, under workbenches, or near entryways.
Reminder: Use non-abrasive pads under furniture or heavy items to prevent surface damage when repositioning.
Some cleaning agents can degrade epoxy finishes over time. Please avoid the following products:
In high-use areas, you may notice a loss of shine over time. In these cases, a topcoat or recoat can restore the appearance and help maintain the floor’s protective qualities.
If you’ve had your floor installed by Epoxy Pro PA, we offer inspection and recoat services to keep your surface in optimal condition. If you’re unsure whether a recoat is needed, contact us and we’ll help assess the situation.
Epoxy coatings are moisture-resistant, but we advise removing standing water quickly to prevent issues. For areas with high humidity or large temperature swings, such as garages or industrial settings, ensure that the space is well ventilated and that the floor has been properly sealed to prevent condensation from developing underneath.
