How to Maintain Your New Epoxy Floors

One of the best things about epoxy flooring is its low maintenance. Still, a little care goes a long way in preserving its shine and durability. Here’s how to keep your epoxy floors looking their best for years.

1. Sweep or Dust Mop Regularly

Epoxy floors are smooth, so dust and debris tend to sit on the surface. Regular sweeping prevents scratches and dullness. Use a microfiber mop for best results.

2. Clean Spills Promptly

Although epoxy is resistant to stains and chemicals, it’s still good practice to wipe up spills quickly—especially oils or harsh chemicals—to maintain the glossy finish.

3. Deep Clean Monthly

Once a month, use a gentle cleanser mixed with warm water to mop your floor. Avoid harsh detergents or citrus-based cleaners that can dull the finish.

4. Avoid Abrasive Tools

Don’t use steel wool or stiff brushes for cleaning. A soft mop or sponge is enough to remove dirt without damaging the coating.

5. Use Floor Mats in High-Traffic Areas

In entryways or near workbenches, mats can help reduce wear from heavy traffic or dropped tools.

Bonus Tip: Recoat Every Few Years

For maximum longevity, a fresh topcoat every 5–7 years keeps your epoxy floor looking brand new.
