How to Keep your Epoxy Floor Looking Like New

Epoxy floors are a great way to make a statement in many areas of your home or business. They look great, and take surprisingly little effort to maintain. Cleaning epoxy floors is a relatively simple process that can be done as needed or on an annual basis for best results.
 
The easiest way to maintain your epoxy floors is to spot clean as needed. Minor spills or drippings from vehicles can simply be wiped up with a soft paper towel or cloth. When heavy cleaning is required, the best course of action would be to tackle the area with a broom to remove any loose debris. Once that is completed, mop the floor, preferably with a mop made of a hard foam, with a solution made of four to five ounces of ammonia per gallon of hot water. This should effectively remove and dirt and grime and leave your floors looking shiny and new.
 
Stains can become an issue over time. Rust and other material may require light scrubbing to remove. The best tool you can use for this job is a kitchen scrubbing pad paired with hot water. If the stain proves to be stubborn, you can use a little Soft Scrub, but other abrasive, bleach-based powders should be avoided, as they can seriously damage your epoxy finish.
 
Cleaning epoxy floors annually with a hose and squeegee is a great way to remove the light coating of grime that can build up. Be sure to do this at least once a year for best results. Just this one little step can transform your floor from dull and dusty to shiny and new. This step is essential if you use heavy loads in the space, such as equipment moved with rolling jacks.
 
Epoxy floors make a statement, so it is great that they can be so easy to maintain. Be sure that cleaning epoxy floors is a regular part of your household routine and your floors will be sure to last.
