How do you clean resin floors and wall coverings?
Expert steps for sparkling, scratch-free resin surfaces at home.
Resin floors and wall coverings are prized for their seamless, glossy appearance and exceptional durability. However, even these hardwearing surfaces require the right cleaning techniques to stay pristine. This guide will take you through the best steps for everyday cleaning and long-term care, helping you avoid dullness, scratches, or residue build-up. Whether your surfaces are in a home, studio or high-traffic area, follow these instructions for professional results.
What You’ll Need
- Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula — for removing greasy marks and stubborn residues
- Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% – 1000ml Bottle for Epoxy Resin Projects & DIY — ideal for spot-cleaning and removing light marks
- Microfibre or soft lint-free cloths
- Broom or vacuum with a soft brush attachment
- Bucket of lukewarm water (no added harsh chemicals or acids)
- “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System — for restoring shine and eliminating minor scratches
Step 1: Remove Surface Dirt and Dust
Begin by gently sweeping or vacuuming the area to eliminate loose dirt, sand or debris. This step is crucial to prevent scratching the resin surface once wet cleaning starts. Always use a soft-bristle brush or a microfibre head to avoid leaving marks or dragging abrasive particles across the floor or wall covering.
Remove abrasive dirt before wet cleaning — this prevents fine surface scratches and keeps the resin looking flawless.
Step 2: Mild Wet Cleaning for Everyday Maintenance
For routine cleaning, use a damp (not wet) microfibre cloth or mop with plain lukewarm water. Gently wipe the surface in overlapping strokes. Avoid abrasive pads and wring cloths properly to prevent excess water from seeping into edges. If there are light spills or sticky spots, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol applied to a cloth can assist with stain removal.
Always avoid harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners, as these can cloud or damage the resin’s glossy finish.
Step 3: Deep Cleaning and Degreasing
If your resin floor or wall has become greasy, or if stubborn residues remain after regular cleaning, apply a specialist degreaser. The Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula is formulated for resin and will effectively break down grease, silicone, and adhesive marks without damaging the surface or affecting skin sensitivity.
Spray or dab the degreaser onto the affected area and allow it to act for a few moments. Gently wipe clean with a soft cloth, then follow up with a damp microfibre to remove any residue. Test cleaning products in an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and prevent unwanted dulling.
Step 4: Restore Gloss and Remove Fine Scratches
Over time, resin floors and walls may develop dullness or fine swirl marks, especially in high-traffic areas. For restorative polishing, use the “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System. This specialist polish is designed to lift surface haze and lightly buff out minor scratches, restoring a beautiful, mirror-like gloss.
Apply according to the product instructions, using a hand pad holder or rotary polisher for even results. Avoid excessive pressure and keep the pad clean to prevent creating new marks. Buff thoroughly until the original shine is visible.
Tips for Safe and Long-Lasting Resin Surface Care
Avoid acid and harsh chemical cleaners as they can dull or weaken resin finishes. Regular sweeping maintains a flawless finish and helps reduce the need for deep cleaning. Use soft, non-scratching cloths for best results and never allow standing water to remain on floors or run behind wall coverings. For stubborn marks, specialist products like isopropyl alcohol or a dedicated degreaser can be used sparingly. Always work in gentle, circular motions and let the surface dry fully before walking or contacting the treated area.
