Can I Use Standard Floor Cleaners on Resin-Treated Parquet?

← Back to How to maintain parquet flooring treated with resin?

Keeping resin-treated parquet floors in top condition means choosing the right cleaning products. Selecting appropriate cleaners preserves both the resin finish and the natural beauty of your wood flooring.

Choosing Safe Cleaning Products

It’s important to avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners on resin-coated parquet. Instead, opt for a mild, pH-neutral detergent diluted with water for daily cleaning. This gentle solution will clear away everyday dust and marks while protecting the delicate resin layer. Steer clear of ammonia-based or highly alkaline products, as these may compromise the surface over time.

Daily Cleaning Tips for Resin Floors

Regular sweeping with a soft broom or vacuuming using a floor brush attachment helps prevent scratch-causing grit from collecting on your parquet. When mopping, use a barely damp microfibre cloth to minimise moisture exposure. For persistent fingerprints or scuffs, a soft cloth lightly moistened with your chosen mild cleaner will suffice.

Restoring Shine and Tackling Minor Scratches

Even with careful cleaning, resin-treated parquet floors might gradually lose their gloss or develop micro-scratches. In such cases, a specialist product like the Epoxy Polish – Epoxy Resin Polishing System can help restore the surface’s shine and smoothness. Apply as directed for best results—ideally with a hand pad holder or rotary polisher for an even, high-quality finish.

When This Matters Most

If your resin-coated parquet is newly installed or has a high-gloss finish, being cautious with cleaning products is particularly important to avoid dulling or damaging the surface.
