Colorado Springs, with our high altitude and variable weather, requires garage floors that can endure the elements. Epoxy and polyaspartic coatings fit the bill perfectly, combining strength and ease of maintenance, making them an excellent choice for homeowners. But like every homeowner knows, you have to maintain things properly in order to get the most out of them. Here’s how to care for your epoxy and polyaspartic coating.
Essential Tools
To maintain your epoxy and polyaspartic coated floor, you only need a few tools: a broom, a bucket with a wringer, and a string mop. If you’re looking to level your cleaning game up, then a leaf blower, Wash & Wax automotive detergent, and a microfiber dust mop can be used. Please stay away from regular detergents — they leave a residue that attracts dirt, and want to keep these floors looking like they’re brand new.
Care for Your Epoxy and Polyaspartic Coating: Step-by-Step Cleaning
Begin by removing loose dirt with a broom or leaf blower. Mix warm water with 1 oz of Wash & Wax detergent per gallon in a bucket, then mop the floor. Let the floor air dry, or use a microfiber dust mop for a thorough dry. For garages and patios, hose down the space and use a foam squeegee to remove excess water.
The sheer ease of cleaning these kinds of surfaces really sets it apart from other types of flooring options. Not only is it easy to clean, but maintaining it properly over the years will give it a longevity that might surprise you.
