Step 1: Assess and Prepare the Floor

Start by removing any loose debris and dust from the floor using a soft broom or vacuum cleaner with a suitable attachment. Identify the location and type of stain—whether it’s caused by grease, food, ink, or general soil. Avoid using abrasive brushes or acidic cleaners, as these can dull the resin’s sheen or cause micro-scratches.

Preparation is key: ensure the area is well-ventilated and that surrounding furniture or rugs are cleared to give you clear access to the stained surface. Use rubber gloves if your skin is sensitive to cleansers.

Step 2: Remove Fresh Stains Promptly

If the stain is recent, immediately blot (don’t rub) the area with a damp microfibre cloth. For water-soluble marks like drinks or light food spots, this simple method is often sufficient. Blotting helps avoid spreading the contamination further or driving it deeper into the resin coating.

If required, use a mild solution of warm water with a tiny squirt of gentle soap. Always dry steps thoroughly after cleaning to prevent streaks or new residue forming.

Step 3: Tackle Embedded or Greasy Stains

For older, stickier, or greasy marks, apply a specialised cleaner suited for resin surfaces. A natural degreaser such as the Strong Technical Degreaser for Resin Projects – 100% Natural Formula works effectively on oil, silicone, or adhesive residues without damaging the floor. Spray or pour a small amount onto the stain, allow it to penetrate for a few minutes, and wipe gently with a microfibre cloth in circular motions.

Rinse with a damp cloth to remove any leftover product and let the area dry fully. Repeat if necessary, but take care not to over-wet the resin surface.

Step 4: Deal with Ink, Marker, or Persistent Residue

Ink stains and certain dyes can be quite challenging to remove. Dab a clean cloth with a small amount of Pure Isopropyl Alcohol 99.9% and gently rub the affected spot. Test this method on an inconspicuous area first to check for any adverse reaction with the finish. Use only the required amount and ventilate the room during and after cleaning.

Avoid harsh scouring pads that can scratch resin surfaces. If the floor gloss appears dulled where the stain was treated, move to the next rejuvenation step.

Step 5: Restore Shine and Neutralise Minor Scratches

After cleaning, some resin floors may lose a little of their sheen, especially in spots that required stronger methods. When this happens, a polishing system such as the “Epoxy Polish” – Epoxy Resin Polishing System can restore the glossy finish. Follow the kit instructions, applying with a non-abrasive pad or rotary polisher to buff away minor scratches and revive the shine. Remember to work in small sections for an even result.

Tips, Common Mistakes, and Troubleshooting

Always test cleaning agents on a hidden area first. Resin finishes vary, and even suitable products should be checked for compatibility.

Avoid harsh scouring pads that can scratch resin surfaces. Use only microfibre or soft pads to preserve gloss.

Address spills promptly to prevent long-term discolouration. Quick action makes removal significantly easier.

If stains persist despite cleaning, or if the discolouration is due to a deeper chemical reaction, it may be necessary to refinish the area or consult a flooring specialist for guidance.
