What You’ll Need
- Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula
- Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% – 1000ml Bottle for Epoxy Resin Projects & DIY

At a Glance: Key Cleaning Supplies
Choosing the right cleaning agents matters for resin floors. Gentle, specialised options protect the finish while lifting stains effectively. Always use soft, non-scratch tools and spot test on a discreet area.
Step 1: Remove Loose Debris and Light Soiling
Begin by sweeping or vacuuming the resin floor to remove dust and loose debris. This prevents grit from scratching the surface during cleaning. For light soiling, use a damp microfiber cloth with pH-neutral detergent diluted in warm water. Wring out the cloth so it is just damp, not wet, and gently wipe the affected area. Avoid excessive moisture which can leave water marks or seep into seams.
Always start with the least aggressive cleaning method. This approach helps preserve your resin floor’s gloss and integrity.
Step 2: Tackle Stubborn Stains with Gentle Cleansers
If stains remain after basic cleaning, use a specialist cleaner designed for resin surfaces. Apply a small amount of Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula directly to a clean, damp microfiber cloth. Gently rub the stain in circular motions, taking care not to apply heavy pressure. This natural degreaser is hypoallergenic and safe for regular use on resin flooring.
Test any cleaner on a hidden area first. Wait a few minutes to check for any possible adverse reaction with your resin floor.
Step 3: Use Isopropyl Alcohol for Stains from Inks, Markers, or Oils
For persistent or coloured stains such as permanent marker or oil, isopropyl alcohol can be effective. Lightly dampen a soft cloth with Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% – 1000ml Bottle for Epoxy Resin Projects & DIY, then gently blot and wipe the stain. Avoid pouring alcohol directly onto the floor. Work in a well-ventilated area and wear gloves for safety.
Avoid using abrasive pads or household bleach. These can dull or damage the resin finish permanently.
Step 4: Restore Shine by Polishing if Needed
Some tough stains or repeated cleaning can leave the resin surface looking dull. If so, polish the area gently using “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System according to the product’s instructions. Use a soft pad or cloth to avoid scratching. This step is optional but helps restore the original gloss and clarity to your resin flooring after cleaning stubborn marks.
Dry the floor thoroughly to prevent water spots.
Tips for Preventing Stains and Common Mistakes
Prevention is always easier than removal. Wipe up spills as soon as they occur, especially coloured liquids such as wine, coffee, or oil. Use protective mats in high traffic areas and never drag sharp or abrasive objects across your resin floor. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners and keep abrasive pads away from the surface. If a stain does not lift after these steps, consult a professional for further advice before resorting to sanding or aggressive treatment.
Regular gentle cleaning with suitable products will help your resin floor maintain its appearance for years to come.
