How do you clean resin floors?
Simple steps to maintain flawless, gleaming resin floors
Resin floors are popular for their sleek appearance, durability, and ease of maintenance. Cleaning your resin floor properly preserves its lustre, protects its structure, and prevents damage that can dull the finish over time. This guide walks you through safe and proven methods for keeping your resin flooring spotless, shiny, and in top condition whether at home, in garages, workshops or commercial environments.
What You’ll Need
- Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula: A natural, gentle degreaser ideal for removing grease and silicone from resin surfaces.
- Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% – 1000ml Bottle for Epoxy Resin Projects & DIY: Suitable for stubborn marks and streak-free cleaning.
- “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System: For restoring gloss and removing fine scratches if your floor has dulled.
- Coloured Microfibre Cloths – Pack of 10 Multi-Coloured Cleaning Cloths: Lint-free, reusable cloths for a gentle, non-abrasive clean.
- Broom or vacuum cleaner (soft brush attachment)
- Buckets, warm water, optional mop with microfibre head
- Protective gloves (optional for sensitive skin)
Step 1: Remove Debris and Dust Regularly
Before any wet cleaning, thoroughly sweep your resin floor with a soft broom or use a vacuum with a brush attachment to lift dust, soil, and loose particles. This stops grit being dragged across the surface during cleaning, preventing scratches and premature wear. Make this dry clean a routine part of your floor maintenance schedule, ideally daily in high-traffic areas.
For spot removal of sticky residues or marks, a Coloured Microfibre Cloth can be dampened and gently wiped over the patch. Always ensure the cloth is clean and free from abrasive debris before use.
Step 2: Use Gentle Cleaners, Not Harsh Chemicals
Mix a mild cleaning solution using warm water. Avoid caustic, acidic, or bleach-based products which can cloud or permanently damage resin finishes. For greasy marks, shoe scuffs, or stains, apply Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula with a damp microfibre cloth. This natural, solvent-free formula lifts grease and silicone deposits without harming your floor’s surface or emitting harsh odours.
Spread the degreaser evenly and let it sit for a short period before wiping residue away. Rinse the cloth thoroughly if needed and ensure no degreaser is left behind to avoid slipperiness.
Step 3: Avoid Excess Water on Resin Surfaces
While resin floors are resistant to water, soaking them can encourage seepage into wall edges or underfloor structures. Mop lightly with a well-wrung microfibre mop or cloth, working section by section to ensure you never leave standing water. For streak-free drying and to tackle stubborn water spots, dampen a cloth with Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% – 1000ml Bottle for Epoxy Resin Projects & DIY, then wipe across the surface and allow to evaporate fully.
Ventilate the area and keep direct sunlight to a minimum during the drying process for best results.
Step 4: Buff or Polish for a Lasting Shine
If your resin floor has become dull, scuffed, or slightly scratched, polishing can rejuvenate its gloss. After cleaning, apply “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System as per instructions, working with a polishing pad or buffer over the affected area. This will remove micro-scratches and bring back a mirror-like sheen without leaving swirl marks.
For a finishing touch or quick shine, use a clean, dry microfibre cloth to buff the surface and ensure a streak-free appearance.
Tips and Common Mistakes to Avoid
Remove debris and dust regularly to prevent abrasion. Use gentle cleaners, not harsh chemicals as the latter can degrade the resin. Avoid excess water on resin surfaces to prevent seepage and staining. Buff or polish for a lasting shine only after fully removing all residues; otherwise you risk locking in marks or haze.
Do not drag heavy furniture or grit across the floor and place mats at entrances to catch dirt. Always test any new cleaning product on a small, inconspicuous section before full application. Well-maintained resin floors will keep their distinctive, glossy look for years.
