Epoxy floors are great for any garage because they are strong, durable, water-resistant, stain-resistant, and built to last. Epoxy is a type of coating applied to concrete floors that helps to seal and protect the concrete from the everyday use of your garage. While this type of flooring is designed for extreme durability and can last between 10 and 20 years, it’s important to care for it properly to ensure the best results for your garage.

How to Care for Your Epoxy Floors

Here are a few tips on how to care for your epoxy floors:

  • Remove dirt and grime: Your epoxy floors are created with a resin coating. While it is durable and damage-resistant, too much buildup of dirt and grime can cause this coating to get scratched or cracked. Such blemishes can affect the floor’s water and stain resistance. To prevent these issues, you can simply sweep or vacuum regularly to remove any collected dirt or grime.
  • Soap and water: Epoxy floors don’t require any complex chemicals or cleaning solutions to be cleaned because they are stain resistant. Once you have removed any dirt and grime from the floors, you can mop with soap and water to further clean your floors and make them shine like new.
  • Dry your floors: While epoxy floors are water-resistant, standing water can affect their durability over time. It can also make the floors slippery while working in the garage. Be sure to dry up the water as much as possible when you can to avoid any safety risks.

As you can see, epoxy floors are very easy to maintain, adding yet another benefit and reason to consider this coating for your garage floor. You can give us a call if you would like to learn more.
