The Best Tips To Maintain Residential Epoxy Flooring

Epoxy flooring is one of the most popular types of flooring these days, and not without reasons. They are colourful and are aesthetically rich, which gives a superior look and feel to the room. Another important reason behind their popularity is that firstly, the floors do not need rigorous maintenance, and secondly, even when you do, it does not take much to maintain these floors.

Here are a few tips that will guide you to maintain the epoxy floor that you have laid in your residence.

Keeping the surface free of grit and dirt

Whether or not you draw heavy machinery or vehicles on and off your floor (it is unlikely to happen in case of residential flooring), grit and dirt are bound to get embedded on the floor if you take it for granted and do not maintain it at all. Therefore, when it comes to getting rid of them, the best way is to use a shop vacuum by attaching a soft brush with it. The frequency of cleaning the floor will depend upon the extent of dirt and grim you allow to settle on the floor.

Do not use soap-based cleaning agents

Soapy cleaning agents that are available in the market generally leave a tinge of haze on the flooring and that keeps on building with time till the very colour and the character of the floor becomes blurry. Hence, do not use soap-based cleaning agents while cleaning epoxy flooring. They do not need to be cleaned with soap. Never opt for warm water as well. When it comes to cleaning your residential epoxy flooring in Melbourne, just a  modest session of mopping and deck scrubbing will be more than enough. In case you feel that the floor needs some extra cleaning,  just use some extra scrubbing power or stuff like soft soap that will help you with getting rid of the tougher and more stubborn spills.

Spot Cleaning

When it comes to spot cleaning, or in other words,  cleaning a small area to remove spills or tracks of furniture drawn., vacuuming or dry sweeping the area will be enough. You just need to vacuum up the spilled liquid and then the area needs to be swept by a clean dry rag, the leaves the are spick and span.

Taking care of the heavily soiled epoxy floor

What to do if you have suddenly woken up from a slumber to realise that your residential epoxy floor has not been cleaned for years. Or what to do, when an extremely lethargic tenant of you has left your rental property leaving the floor uncleaned without caring for the end of the lease bond? The best step to take in these cases is to sweep the floor thoroughly and vacuum the entire floor meticulously. It is better to shift all the furniture to a different room before cleaning. You can use an ammonia-water solution for a second mopping, after completing the first with plain water.

So you see, there is quite a bit of element in residential epoxy floor cleaning. To get rid of all these do's and don'ts, the best step will be to summon professional specialists who are into epoxy floor cleaning.
