See the cleaning process for resin flooring

Watch how alcohol and microfibre cloths keep resin flooring spotless without damaging its gloss. Step-by-step images highlight application and drying methods for optimal results.

Step 1: Prepare the Area and Safety Precautions

Begin by removing any loose debris, dust, or dirt from the resin flooring using a dry broom or vacuum. Adequate preparation prevents particles from scratching the resin surface during cleaning. Open windows or doors to ensure proper ventilation when using alcohol-based cleaners, as isopropyl alcohol is highly volatile and flammable. Keep pets and children away during the cleaning process, and clear the area of any items that may be sensitive to solvents. Put on your nitrile gloves to protect your hands from repeated exposure to the alcohol solution.

Step 3: Wipe, Dry, and Inspect

After cleaning each section, use a fresh, dry microfibre cloth to buff the surface and absorb any remaining alcohol. Do not use excessive water on resin flooring surfaces as it can seep into joins or edges, potentially undermining the substrate. Inspect the floor for spots you may have missed, especially in areas with heavy foot traffic or visible stains. If necessary, repeat the cleaning on stubborn spots, always following up with a dry cloth.

Test the cleaning solution on a small inconspicuous area first to confirm compatibility with your resin flooring and avoid unintended damage or cloudiness.
