← Back to How to clean uncured epoxy spots from the surface

Caring for resin art means keeping the surface crystal clear. After cleaning, some artists notice cloudiness or streaks. Here’s how to prevent these issues and keep your finish shining at its best.
Simple Steps to Maintain a Clear Resin Surface
Start by using only soft, non-abrasive cloths when wiping resin. Harsh scrubbers or pads may leave fine scratches, resulting in a dull, cloudy appearance. For effective, residue-free cleaning, reach for a few drops of 99.9% pure isopropyl alcohol. Apply it gently, wipe in circular motions, and avoid over-soaking the piece.
- Stick to lint-free microfibre cloths
- If deeper cleaning is required, use a natural, surface-safe degreaser
- Always rinse gently with cool, clean water and dry completely to prevent water spots
Choosing the Right Cleaning Products
Some cleaners leave behind residues that can create haze or dull patches. Isopropyl alcohol is favoured for its ability to clean without a film, while a 100% natural degreaser works well for removing stubborn marks. Consider Strong Technical Degreaser for a gentle yet thorough clean if your resin art has picked up greasy fingerprints or stubborn contaminants.
- Avoid products with harsh chemicals or abrasive particles
- Test any new cleaner on a small area first
- Wipe all excess away promptly for the best results
When Surface Clarity is Essential
Cloudiness stands out most on high-gloss finishes or translucent pieces. If your resin art is a centrepiece or being prepared for sale, achieving a flawless, clear result is especially important. Start with gentle cleaning and finish by polishing softly with a clean, dry cloth.
