Epoxy coatings are becoming quite popular. They are replacing the plain cement garage floor, covering it with a durable, stain, chemical and abrasion resistant layer. The application of an epoxy garage floor coating can be an affordable way to repair an existing floor or to finish off a new one. Not only will the investment improve the look of your garage, it will also reduce the cost of maintenance.
Epoxy Garage Floor Maintenance
No one doubts epoxy garage floors are low-maintenance. It does not mean, however, you can ignore them with impunity. They are easy to take care of, but they do require some basic maintenance to ensure the retention of functionality function and appearance.
The greatest need is cleaning. This ensures the floor continues to shine as brightly as the day the contractor first installed it. You need to take some precautions however and pay attention to the following cleaning tips:
- Choose the cleaner carefully. Some leave a film behind
- The same applies to cleaning equipment you use. Some mops e.g. string mops, will streak your floor
- While you do not need to dust every day, do it weekly to ensure you remove any material
- If the place truly is high traffic and spills occur regularly, make sure you invest in a foam mop. Combine that with an environmentally friendly cleaning solution and you can keep the epoxy garage floor coating looking like new
- Vacuum or use a broom monthly to remove dirt and material in exposed joints
- Never use citrus cleaners or vinegar. They can gradually decrease the gloss of your floors
