Watch how regular sweeping, careful mopping, and an occasional touch of “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System can bring tired resin-coated parquet back to a dazzling shine. Even high-traffic areas regain their clarity with the right polish and a gentle hand.

Step 1: Clean the Floor Surface Gently

Begin with regular dry cleaning—sweep or vacuum the parquet to prevent dust or grit from scratching the resin finish. Always use a soft-bristle broom or microfibre mop and ensure your vacuum is set to its hardest-floor mode. Avoid using strong or abrasive cleaners; even spillages should be cleaned up promptly using a damp, not wet, soft mop and a mild detergent. Excess water can seep between joints and undermine the underlying wood.

Step 2: Protect Against Scratches and Dullness

As resin provides a tough barrier, it’s still important to minimise the risk of scratching. Place felt pads under furniture legs and avoid dragging heavy objects across the surface. Rugs in high-traffic zones offer added protection. Regularly check for dirt build-up under the pads or at entryways. When cleaning, always use non-abrasive materials and avoid harsh scrubbing, which can generate fine scratches or gradually dull the glossy resin layer.

Step 3: Restore Gloss and Remove Surface Marks

If your parquet floor begins to look dull or develops fine surface scratches, you can restore its shine safely. Apply a specialised polishing product such as “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System. This system is formulated to remove micro-scratches and rejuvenate the gloss of resin coatings. For best results, use with a rotary polisher or a soft manual pad, following the manufacturer’s instructions for even application and buffing. Avoid excessive pressure, and always test on a small, inconspicuous patch before wide-scale use.

Step 4: Implement Long-Term Care Habits

To keep parquet in top condition over years, develop habits that extend its lifespan. Sweep regularly to remove abrasive particles, and only use non-abrasive cloths and mops. Protect high-wear zones with mats. Avoid letting water pool on the floor, and clean up spills promptly. If you need to move furnishings, lift them instead of dragging. Occasionally, evaluate the floor’s surface and repeat polishing as needed. Routine maintenance combined with periodic polishing will ensure that the resin layer stays glossy and free of noticeable wear.
