Epoxy.com flooring systems are designed to provide dense, long-term, seamless protection against wear, chemical exposure, staining, and dirt penetration. Because they are seamless, they do not trap contaminants in joints or crevices and are generally easier to maintain than tile or resilient flooring.
A consistent cleaning program — including sweeping, mopping, and prompt removal of grease or chemicals — will extend the life and appearance of your Epoxy.com floor. Over time, high-traffic areas may show visible wear, but these can often be renewed by cleaning and resealing with an appropriate Epoxy.com clear or pigmented finish.
Treated dust mops may be used to collect fine abrasive particles as long as they do not leave an oily film.
All Epoxy.com floors should be mopped or scrubbed on a regular schedule with a neutral pH detergent, followed by a clean-water rinse. Change rinse water frequently and rinse mops or pads often.
Smooth floors are typically easy to maintain with routine mopping unless they experience very heavy traffic, steel wheels, or hard rubber wheels that can leave marks requiring extra attention.
Textured floors require mechanical agitation to fully clean:
The goal is to dislodge dirt and grease from the recesses of the textured surface.
Most Epoxy.com floors do not require waxing or polishing. However, if heavy traffic causes visible wear or dulling, a commercial floor polish may be used on standard (non-conductive, non-ESD) epoxy systems to temporarily enhance appearance.
Conductive and electro-static dissipating (ESD) floors must remain clean and film-free to function properly. Residues from harsh detergents or improper rinsing can interfere with the electrical properties of the floor.
Any film-forming coating on the surface may create an insulative layer and prevent the floor from performing as designed. Consult Epoxy.com Technical Support for specific maintenance recommendations for your ESD or conductive floor system.
Epoxy.com floors are designed to withstand heavy use. If visible wear occurs in high-traffic areas, the floor can often be restored by cleaning and recoating with a compatible Epoxy.com system.
For detailed guidance on how to prepare an existing epoxy floor for recoating, see the Epoxy.com Technical Bulletin Surface Preparation Over Existing Resin Floors.
