One of the greatest advantages of epoxy floors is how incredibly easy they are to clean. Their non-porous surface prevents dirt from penetrating, so daily cleaning is reduced to:

1. Sweeping or vacuuming: Remove dust and loose particles with a soft broom or vacuum
2. Damp mopping: Use warm water with a neutral cleaner (pH 7-8). You don't need special products
3. Drying: Optionally, dry with a microfiber mop for a glossy finish

That's it! A floor that takes minutes to clean versus tile joints that accumulate dirt.

Once a month, perform a more thorough cleaning:

• Use a mild degreaser cleaner diluted in water
• Apply with a microfiber mop in circular motions
• Rinse well with clean water
• For tough stains, let the cleaner act 5-10 minutes before scrubbing

Professional tip: Never use muriatic acid, concentrated chlorine or abrasive cleaners. These can damage the epoxy finish.

Recommended products

• Warm water + neutral soap (the safest and most effective)
• Multipurpose cleaners with neutral pH
• Diluted biodegradable degreasers
• Diluted ammonia (1/4 cup per gallon of water) for tough stains

Products to AVOID

• Muriatic acid: Corrodes the topcoat and dulls the floor
• Pure vinegar: Its acidity can damage the gloss over time
• Concentrated chlorine: Discolors and weakens the resin
• Abrasive powder cleaners: Scratch the surface
• Floor waxes: Create a layer that dulls epoxy's natural shine

With these simple care steps, your epoxy floor can last 20 years or more:

• Furniture protectors: Use adhesive felt pads on table and chair legs
• Entry mats: Capture sand and stones that can scratch the surface
• Immediate spill cleaning: Although epoxy resists stains, quick cleaning is better
• Avoid dragging heavy objects: Lift furniture when moving it
• Sun protection: In areas with direct UV light, curtains help prevent discoloration
