How do you clean resin flooring?
Step-by-step advice for spotless, gleaming resin floors at home or work
Resin flooring is well-known for its contemporary look, seamless finish, and impressive durability. However, to maintain its high-gloss appearance and prolong its lifespan, proper cleaning is essential. This guide will walk you through the safest and most effective way to clean resin flooring, helping you prevent scratches and dullness, whether at home or in a commercial space.
What You’ll Need
- Coloured Microfibre Cloths – Pack of 10 Multi-Coloured Cleaning Cloths – for dusting and wiping without scratching
- Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula – for tackling greasy marks and sticky residue
- Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% – 1000ml Bottle for Epoxy Resin Projects & DIY – for disinfecting and removing stubborn stains
- “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System – for occasional restoration of gloss and removal of minor surface dullness
Step 1: Remove Surface Dust and Dirt
Begin by clearing away loose dust, crumbs, and debris. Use a soft broom or, preferably, a vacuum with a brush head designed for hard floors to safeguard the seamless resin finish. For day-to-day cleaning, always use a soft, non-abrasive cloth such as a microfibre pad to wipe down the surface. Sweep gently in overlapping motions, as dragging grit can cause tiny scratches over time. This simple routine preserves both hygiene and appearance.
Step 2: Tackle Stains and Grease Safely
If you notice greasy fingerprints, shoe scuffs, or food splashes, avoid scrubbing with anything rough. Instead, lightly spray or dampen your cloth with a specially formulated cleaner. For resin floors, Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula is optimised to break down oil and silicone-based marks while being gentle to the resin surface. Always test in an inconspicuous spot and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for dilution and application. Wipe evenly, working from the edges towards the centre to prevent streaks.
Step 3: Deep Clean for Stubborn Marks
Tougher stains or disinfecting needs may arise from time to time. In these situations, lightly dampen your microfibre cloth with Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% – 1000ml Bottle for Epoxy Resin Projects & DIY. It evaporates quickly, so avoid over-wetting the surface, and never pour directly onto the floor. Focus on sticky spots or ink stains, and dry any excess promptly. Be sure to ventilate the area well during and after use. This targeted approach keeps the finish smooth and residue-free.
Step 4: Restore Gloss with Polishing
Even well-maintained resin floors can develop areas of dullness over time. For an occasional refresh, ensure the floor is totally clean and dry, then apply a resin-appropriate polish such as “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System. Work the polish using a lint-free microfibre or specific polishing pad, following the product instructions. Move in circular motions and buff gently, covering one small section at a time. Polish only when the floor is fully dry to avoid streaks or haze. The result is a restored, gleaming finish that looks as good as new.
Tips, Common Mistakes, and Troubleshooting
Avoid using harsh abrasives or acidic chemicals such as scourers, bleach, or ammonia-based products, as these can cloud, scratch, or permanently damage the resin layer.
Address spills and stains quickly — the longer contaminants sit, the harder they are to remove, and the more risk of staining or bacterial growth.
Always sweep or hoover before wet cleaning to ensure no loose grit causes micro-scratches.
If cloudiness or streaks develop after polishing, buff again with a dry, soft microfibre cloth to restore clarity. Systematic, gentle maintenance is the secret to preserving your resin floor’s beauty for years.
