If you’ve recently had garage floor epoxy or polyurea coatings installed in your home or business, you want to ensure it stays as beautiful and new as the day it was installed. Proper maintenance is key to preserving the longevity and appearance of your coating, and it doesn’t have to be time-consuming or difficult.
If you power wash your floor: 1) Use a proper nozzle head. 2) Open the door to avoid fumes and carbon monoxide poisoning. 3) Reverse mop to avoid standing water on your floor.
Here are a few tips for maintaining your garage floor epoxy/polyurea coatings:
1. Sweep or dust regularly:
To prevent dirt and debris from scratching or staining your floor, sweep or dust it regularly. This will also help to avoid any potential slipping hazards.
2. Mop as needed:
Mop or scrub your floor with mild detergent and warm water for deeper cleaning. Be sure to wring out the mop well to avoid excess water on the floor, as standing water can cause damage to the coating.
3. Avoid harsh chemicals:
Certain chemicals can be harsh on concrete coatings and cause fading or discoloration. Avoid using bleach or acidic cleaners and opt for mild. We recommend pH-neutral cleaners instead!
4. Address spills promptly:
If you do happen to spill something on your floor, make sure to clean it up right away. Certain liquids, like oil or gasoline, can stain or damage the coating if left untreated.
