Safe Cleaning in Action

Natural formulas and gentle cleaning methods help maintain the clarity and shine of epoxy resin floors. Choosing purpose-made products protects both the surface and those caring for it, especially in spaces used by families, pets, or those with sensitivities.

Sweep or Vacuum Thoroughly

Begin by removing any loose dust, dirt, or grit from the epoxy resin floor using a soft bristle broom, dust mop, or vacuum with a soft floor attachment. This prevents abrasives from scratching the resin surface during later cleaning stages. Pay close attention to corners, edges, and high-traffic areas where debris tends to collect.

Regular sweeping minimises the risk of scratches and dull patches, particularly in commercial and garage settings where small stones or dirt may be present. Avoid using stiff brushes or abrasive vacuum heads that could mar the resin’s glossy finish.

Wash With a Mild Cleaner

After dry cleaning, use a damp microfibre mop and warm water for day-to-day washing. For areas with stubborn grime or light stains, add a few drops of gentle detergent or a resin-safe cleaning solution to your water. Mop the floor in consistent passes, changing the water if it becomes cloudy, to avoid smearing dirt across the surface.

To safely tackle greasy or stubborn residues, you can use the Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula. Its plant-based ingredients are safe for epoxy and help lift grease and silicone deposits without risk to the shine or integrity of the floor.

Target Stubborn Spots With Care

Should you notice isolated marks—such as ink, paint, tyre scuffs, or sticky spills—it’s best to spot treat these rather than scrubbing the whole surface. Apply a small amount of Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% to a soft, lint-free cloth, and gently wipe over the mark. Always test in a discreet area first to check compatibility with your resin type.

Avoid abrasive pads, harsh solvents, or using too much liquid on seams and edges. After treating, follow up by wiping the area with clean water and a dry cloth to remove any cleaner residue.

Restore Gloss With Periodic Polishing

Over time, even well-maintained epoxy resin floors can lose some of their original shine due to micro-scratches or wear from heavy use. To revive gloss, use an appropriate polishing system like the “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System. Apply according to product instructions, using a soft pad or polisher as recommended, to even out dull spots and restore a mirror-like finish.

Polishing should be done sparingly, only as needed, and always on thoroughly cleaned and dried floors. This maximises the lifespan of both the resin and its polished look.

Tips and Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Never use harsh scouring pads, undiluted bleach, or acidic cleaners, which may cloud or damage epoxy resin.
  • Clean up spills swiftly—especially oils, chemicals, or strong dyes—to prevent penetrating stains or dullness.
  • Protect flooring from sharp objects, dragging furniture, and excessive sand or grit, which can cause scratches.
  • For best results, keep mats at entrances to trap dirt before it reaches the epoxy surface.

Maintaining a Brilliant Finish

Routine care and prompt attention to spills go a long way towards preserving the flawless look of epoxy resin flooring. Occasional polishing will keep traffic areas shiny and reduce the need for more intensive restoration work.
