Polyaspartic floors have become increasingly popular in environments that require a high-performance, low-maintenance resinous coating system. This includes residential garages and a variety of commercial applications. They offer a uniquely durable and resistant finish; however, no flooring material is self-cleaning or completely stain-resistant. As such, polyaspartic floor coatings must be properly cared for to ensure a long-lasting investment. The following tips will help keep your floor in good condition for years to come.

How to Care for Your Polyaspartic Floor Coating 

1. Sweep Regularly

Dirt and dust particles can act as abrasives on flooring. In high-traffic environments, they are likely to scratch and tarnish the polyaspartic coating. You can prevent this and remove dirt and dust buildup by sweeping with a soft bristle broom at the end of the day or dry mop a few times a week.

2. Wipe Up Leaks & Spills Quickly

Polyaspartic floor coatings are less porous than standard concrete floors, so they aren’t as quick to absorb fluids. Nevertheless, leaks and spills should be wiped up as soon as possible. Leaving certain liquids and chemicals on the surface, such as oil, gas, alcohol, and hydrocarbon solvent, for a prolonged period can cause staining and prematurely dull the floor’s shine. 

3. Use the Right Cleaning Equipment  

When it’s time to deep clean your polyaspartic floor, a simple pH-neutral cleaner mixed with water is recommended. Using soap will create a film that is challenging to remove. Let the cleaner sit on the surface for a few minutes before rinsing it, and utilize a foam squeegee or wet-vacuum to remove any excess water left on the surface. As with any new cleaning product you use, it’s a good idea to test a small, inconspicuous area of the floor for any adverse reactions before applying it all over the surface.
