Visual Guide: Cleaning Tools and Methods
Here you can find step-by-step visual examples of correct cleaning techniques for resin floors, including the use of Coloured Microfibre Cloths for dusting and applying gentle cleaning solutions with Strong Technical Degreaser. These images highlight the difference proper technique makes in maintaining gloss and clarity.
Step 1: Remove Loose Dirt and Dust
Start by sweeping the entire resin floor gently with a soft broom or vacuum cleaner fitted with a suitable hard floor attachment. Remove all loose dirt, grit, and debris—these can cause scratches if left behind during wet cleaning. Be careful around the edges and under furniture to ensure all particles are collected for a thorough clean.
Always use soft, lint-free cloths or tools to avoid inadvertently scratching the glossy surface.
Step 2: Wash with a Mild, Non-Abrasive Cleaner
Prepare a bucket of lukewarm water and add a suitable amount of a gentle cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach, as these can compromise the resin’s integrity or lead to cloudy films on the surface. For resin-specific grease or stains, apply the Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula diluted as directed, using a microfibre cloth to gently wipe away marks.
Work section by section, rinsing your cloth in clean water regularly. Wipe surfaces dry afterwards to prevent any water spots or streaks.
Step 3: Deal with Stains and Disinfection
For stubborn spots, such as oil, pen, or adhesive residues, lightly dampen a soft cloth with Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% and gently rub the area. This helps break down tough residues without harming your resin floor’s finish. Always ventilate the room and test in a small, inconspicuous spot first.
Never pour alcohol directly onto the floor—apply it to the cloth for better control and safety.
Step 4: Restore Shine with Occasional Polishing
If your resin floor looks dull or scratched after regular cleaning, use “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System as instructed for occasional maintenance. Work a small amount into the surface with a microfibre cloth or rotary pad (if appropriate), then buff until you achieve a smooth, glossy finish.
Take care not to over-polish, and always follow the recommended application technique to avoid swirl marks.
Tips and Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Always use soft, lint-free cloths and pads for any cleaning or polishing—abrasive sponges can permanently scratch resin flooring.
- Avoid using abrasive or acidic cleaners, such as ammonia, vinegar, or standard tile cleaners, which may dull or etch the surface.
- Clean up spills promptly to prevent staining, and do not leave standing water on the floor.
- Be cautious with furniture legs—add protective pads to prevent accidental scratches or dents.
- Periodically clean and rinse all tools to keep them free from grit and build-up.
