Tools and Products for Flawless Resin Floor Care

Choosing the right cleaning products and accessories makes maintenance of a glossy resin floor simple and safe. Use soft, non-abrasive cloths with gentle, resin-compatible solutions for best results. Aim for regular, light cleaning to keep your floor in pristine condition without risking damage from harsh chemicals or scouring tools.

Step 1: Remove Dust and Loose Debris

Begin every cleaning session by removing all surface dirt, dust, and sand from the resin floor. Sweeping with a soft-bristled broom or vacuuming with a head designed for hard floors is best. This prevents small particles from scratching the high-gloss surface during the wet cleaning phase. Always use a soft mop or microfibre cloth.

Step 2: Clean the Surface with a Gentle Cleaner

Fill a bucket with lukewarm water and add a gentle, neutral pH cleaner. Avoid harsh detergents, which can damage the finish. For areas affected by greasy marks or stubborn residues, apply a specialised cleaner such as the Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula. Work in sections, dampening a mop or cloth (never soaking it) and gently wiping the surface. Never use harsh abrasives or rough brushes. Rinse the cloth often to avoid spreading dirt.

Step 3: Rinse and Dry the Floor

After cleaning, wipe down the floor with a mop slightly dampened in clean water to remove any remaining cleaning solution. Follow this by drying the surface with a microfibre towel to prevent streaks and water spots. Avoid walking on the wet floor until fully dry.

Step 4: Restore Gloss with Polishing (If Needed)

If your resin floor shows light scratches or a dull appearance despite regular cleaning, occasional polishing will revive its gloss. Ensure the surface is free from particulate dirt before polishing. Use the “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System as directed, using a soft polishing pad and working in small sections to achieve a streak-free, mirror finish. Follow with a clean, dry cloth for final buffing.
