← Back to How do you wash epoxy resin?

Epoxy artwork is admired for its glossy, luminous finish, but it requires gentle cleaning to maintain its beauty over time. Understanding safe cleaning approaches will help your creations last and look their best.
Gentle Everyday Cleaning
To routinely freshen up your epoxy art, use a soft, dry microfibre cloth. Lightly dust the surface to remove fingerprints, dust, and debris without risk of scratching or dulling the resin finish. For more stubborn smudges, a slightly damp cloth can be used – just be sure not to soak the artwork or allow moisture to sit on the surface.
Avoiding Harsh Chemicals and Abrasives
Avoid using strong chemical cleaners, solvents, or abrasive pads on epoxy resin surfaces. These can damage the high-gloss finish and lead to cloudiness or permanent marks. Where a deeper clean is necessary — for instance, if there are residue or greasy patches on your piece — a product like the Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects offers a safer, plant-based alternative. Always spot test first in an inconspicuous area if you’re unsure.
Restoring Shine and Dealing with Marks
If your artwork loses its shine or develops micro-scratches over time, use a resin-specific polish such as Epoxy Polish to rejuvenate the surface. Apply with a suitable polishing pad or a soft cloth, working gently in circular motions. Steer clear of everyday household polishes, as they may create streaks or residue on epoxy art.
When This Matters Most
Careful cleaning is especially important for display pieces, tabletops, and gifts where blemishes and shine are easily noticed. Regular, gentle maintenance keeps them looking pristine and professional.
