Essential Tools for Safe Resin Floor Cleaning
For best results, choose gentle products specifically suited for resin. Coloured Microfibre Cloths and plant-based degreasers help protect floor gloss, while isopropyl alcohol tackles stubborn marks without leaving residues.
Step 1: Remove Surface Dust and Debris
Start by sweeping or vacuuming your resin floor to collect dust, grit, and loose particles. Always use a soft brush attachment or non-abrasive broom to avoid scratching the surface. For best results, sweep daily in high-traffic areas to prevent particles from causing micro-abrasions over time.
Use soft, lint-free cloths for gentle cleaning. Microfibre cloths trap dust and can be used dry for quick touch-ups or slightly dampened for sticky patches.
Step 2: Clean Up Spills and Marks Quickly
Promptly address any liquid spills—especially oils, sticky drinks, or colourants—to avoid potential staining. Blot with a clean microfibre cloth, working from the outside inwards to avoid spreading the spill further.
If greasy or adhesive residues remain, use the Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula applied to a cloth. Gently wipe the area, then rinse with a damp cloth to remove any residue from the cleaning product.
React quickly to spills and stains for best results. This minimises the risk of long-term discolouration or dull spots.
Step 3: Remove Stubborn Stains and Disinfect
For tough stains or when deeper cleaning is needed—such as after crafts, foot traffic, or pet accidents—spot clean using a solution of highly pure isopropyl alcohol. Dampen a corner of your microfibre cloth with Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% and gently rub the affected spot. Let the floor air dry; avoid soaking the surface.
Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing pads, as these can cloud or damage the resin.
Step 4: Restore Gloss and Remove Surface Scratches
Over time, resin floors may lose some lustre or develop fine scratches. To refresh their appearance, use the “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System as directed. Apply the polish with a microfibre cloth or appropriate pad, working in gentle circular motions until the surface regains its shine.
Buff out any haziness with a clean, dry cloth. Repeat if necessary for high-wear zones.
Tips & Common Mistakes When Cleaning Resin Floors
Always test cleaning agents on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility with your specific floor finish. Avoid ammonia, bleach, or abrasive powders that can degrade the glossy surface. It’s best to use floor protectors under furniture, and never drag heavy objects as these can cause permanent gouges. With routine care and prompt spill removal, your resin floor will retain its beauty for the long term.
