Keeping these floors well-maintained is crucial for preserving their appearance and longevity. This guide outlines the essential steps you need to follow to clean your resin flooring safely and effectively, ensuring it remains spotless and maintains its signature gloss for years to come.
What You’ll Need
- Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula – for safe and effective removal of grease, oil and contaminants
- Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% – 1000ml Bottle for Epoxy Resin Projects & DIY – for light surface cleaning and spot removal

Essential Cleaning Tools for Resin Flooring
Having dedicated resin-safe cleaners, such as degreasers, pure isopropyl alcohol, and microfibre cloths, helps achieve thorough results without harming your floors. Always ensure that products used are designed for epoxy or resin applications. Strong Technical Degreaser and Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% are both effective and reliable choices for resin floor maintenance.
Step 1: Remove Dust and Loose Debris
Begin by sweeping or vacuuming your resin floor with a soft brush attachment. This ensures all dust, grit, and loose debris are cleared, which prevents the risk of scratching during further cleaning. Pay special attention to corners and edges where debris tends to accumulate. Avoid using stiff brooms or harsh vacuum tools as these can mark the resin surface.
Step 2: Degrease and Clean the Surface
For everyday dirt and greasy stains, prepare a solution of warm water with a small amount of neutral pH detergent. Mop the floor using a damp, well-wrung microfibre mop. For stubborn grease or silicone residues on your resin flooring, apply a dedicated product such as the Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula. Spray or wipe it gently onto the affected area, leave it to work for a couple of minutes, and then wipe away with a clean, damp cloth. This approach helps lift contaminants without damaging the floor’s finish.
Step 3: Remove Stains and Surface Marks
If you encounter marks or stains that ordinary cleaning won’t budge, treat them with Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9%. Dampen a soft cloth with the alcohol and gently rub the affected area—never pour directly onto the floor. Isopropyl alcohol is highly effective for spot cleaning and evaporates quickly, reducing moisture exposure. Always ventilate the area while using alcohol-based products.
Step 4: Polish and Restore Gloss
To maintain and restore a high-gloss finish on your resin floors, periodic polishing is recommended. After cleaning and allowing the floor to dry completely, use a system like the “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System according to its instructions. Work in sections, gently applying the polish with a soft pad or buffer. This will help eliminate minor scuffs, improve shine, and keep your resin surface looking like new.
Tips and Common Mistakes
- Always use soft, non-abrasive cloths – Prevent micro-scratches and keep the resin’s gloss intact.
- Avoid ammonia-based products and harsh abrasives – These can dull or cloud the finish of your floor.
- Tackle spills immediately to prevent staining – Quick action avoids lasting marks from dyes, chemicals, or food.
- Polish periodically for long-term gloss – Regular maintenance supports the resin’s durability and shine.
Maintaining Shine and Hygiene Over Time
Consistent cleaning and prompt spill management will keep your resin floor looking its best. Using a polishing system like “Epoxy Polish” brings back high-gloss and supports long-term durability. Establishing a regular maintenance routine protects both appearance and hygiene of resin flooring in any environment.
