Although installing epoxy floors in the garage might be a significant investment, they look attractive and are durable. What’s more, maintaining them is relatively easy.
One of the best features of epoxy floors is that they can look as good as new with a bit of cleaning. However, homeowners often don’t know how to take care of epoxy garage floors.
Here’s a step-by-step cleaning guide that’ll ensure the epoxy floors are always sparkling clean.
WIPING THE STAINS
If oils, car chemicals, or any other greasy fluids fall on the epoxy, clean it right away. Not doing so will damage the epoxy floor in the long run. Plus, if these chemicals sit on the floor for too long, they can cause slips, respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems.
Although the epoxy floor is stain-resistant, anything that piles up and isn’t cleaned right away can cause discoloration.
When liquids are spilled on the floor, use a paper towel to clean the area. If homeowners struggle with rust, using a kitchen scrubbing pad to scrub the epoxy also helps. Avoid using any abrasive cleaners as these can be hazardous.
Cleaning the stains as soon as they appear is also time-efficient. If you don’t do it immediately, regular cleaning will take much longer.
REMOVE THE TIRE MARKS
Tire stains are bound to happen in a garage. However, that doesn’t mean you should avoid cleaning them. Using a concrete degreaser removes tire marks easily from the epoxy floor and ensures it looks clean. If the marks are persistent, spill a bit of the solution on them and wait for at least 10 minutes. Depending on the heaviness of the stains, a soft nylon brush can be used. Clean the area gently and repeat this process if necessary.
PREVENT DAMAGES TO THE EPOXY FLOOR
Some bulky items in the garage can cause damage to the epoxy floor. That’s why using soft pads under bicycles or furniture can prevent this issue. Moreover, when lifting heavy things, put plywood on the epoxy and under the jack stands to avoid scratches.
MAINTAIN THE EPOXY GARAGE FLOORS
Although resilient, durable, and low-maintenance, epoxy garage floors aren’t immune to stains. That’s why wiping the stains as soon as they appear and cleaning the whole floor at least once a week ensures the epoxy looks spotless and beautiful.
