← Back to How to fix resin that has darkened the surface?

Keeping epoxy resin surfaces clean and well-maintained is essential for preserving their clarity and sheen. However, choosing the right cleaning product is important to avoid dulling or damaging your work.
Choosing the Right Cleaner
Avoid harsh or abrasive cleaners when caring for epoxy resin. Instead, opt for gentle, non-abrasive options that won’t scratch or cloud the finish. For everyday cleaning, a mild soap solution and soft cloth are sufficient. When you need to tackle tougher substances like grease, residue, or silicone, it’s best to choose a dedicated product designed for resin work, such as the Strong Technical Degreaser. This degreaser is formulated from 100% plant-based, solvent-free ingredients and is dermatologically tested, so it’s suitable for both resin surfaces and sensitive skin.
Best Practices for Cleaning Epoxy Resin
- Preparation: Remove any dust or debris using a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
- Application: Lightly dampen a cloth with your chosen cleaner and gently wipe the resin surface. Avoid scrubbing with excessive pressure.
- Finishing: Buff dry with a clean, lint-free cloth to restore shine and clarity.
If your surface has lost some of its gloss or clarity, safe polishing products like Epoxy Polish or the Carbon Polish for dark surfaces can bring the finish back to life.
When This Matters Most
Safe, gentle cleaning is especially important for display pieces, artworks, and decorative resin objects where clarity and glossy finishes are key. Regular, appropriate cleaning helps prevent cloudiness or streaks and preserves the look of your resin creations.
