Essential Tools for Stain Removal

Make sure to assemble all items before you begin. Choose cleaning products and tools specifically designed for use with resin and epoxy, to ensure you protect the finish while removing stains. Using recommended products increases both safety and cleaning effectiveness.

Step 1: Identify the Stain and Prepare the Area

Start by determining the type of stain you are dealing with—like oil, ink, food, or a dried spill. Move any furniture away and sweep or vacuum to remove loose dirt and grit, preventing scratching while you clean. Ensure the area is well-ventilated if you plan to use any solvent-based cleaners. Take precautions not to flood the resin surface with excess water, as resin flooring performs best under controlled conditions.

Step 2: Clean with Gentle Detergent

Dampen a microfibre cloth in warm water mixed with a pH-neutral detergent. Wipe the stained area using circular motions, applying gentle pressure. Many light stains and fresh spills can be removed at this stage. Rinse the area with a clean, damp cloth and allow it to dry completely before proceeding. Never use harsh abrasives, acidic, or highly alkaline cleaners; these can damage the resin’s glossy finish.

Step 3: Remove Stubborn Stains with Specialised Products

If the mark persists, select a cleaning product suited to the type of residue. For oil, grease, or silicone-based stains, apply a small amount of Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula to a cloth and gently rub the stain. For ink and other stubborn residues, you may use Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% – 1000ml Bottle for Epoxy Resin Projects & DIY; dampen a new cloth and gently pat or rub the area. Allow the product to work for several minutes before wiping away. Avoid excessive soaking to prevent dull spots.

Step 4: Carefully Lift Stuck-On Particles

Where stains are caused by dried paint or crusted spills, carefully use the Heavy Duty Scraper for Paint and Epoxy Resin Removal to lift material without force. Hold the blade at a low angle and use gentle pressure. Work slowly to avoid nicking the resin. Wipe away any dust with a damp cloth after scraping. This method is only recommended for resilient floor coatings—always proceed with caution.

Step 5: Restore Gloss and Buff the Area

Once the stain is removed and the floor is clean and dry, polish the treated area to restore uniform shine. Apply a small amount of “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System to a soft pad or microfibre cloth, following product instructions. Work the polish evenly over the area in straight or circular motions, gradually blending into the surrounding floor. This helps conceal minor scratches and returns your resin floor to its original lustre.

Tips and Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Always test cleaning solutions on a small hidden area first.
• Avoid using harsh abrasives or acidic cleaners directly on resin.
• Address stains promptly for easier removal. The longer a stain sits, the more challenging it becomes.
• Buff thoroughly after using a polish to prevent dull patches.
• Keep cleaning sessions gentle – too much pressure may scuff or dull the surface.
• For frequent maintenance, routine mopping with water and gentle detergent is advised.

Maintaining Your Resin Floor’s Appearance

Clean up spills promptly to prevent long-term damage. Regular light cleaning and prompt treatment of stains will keep your resin floor looking glossy and new. Avoid dragging heavy furniture or using harsh scouring pads for best preservation.
