How to Maintain Epoxy Coatings on Concrete Floors

Maintenance protects the topcoat

Epoxy coatings are durable, but they are not maintenance-free. The topcoat carries the daily load from shoes, tyres, trolleys, cleaning, and spills. Protecting that topcoat keeps the full system performing longer.

Routine cleaning plan

• Sweep or vacuum loose grit before mopping.
• Mop with warm water and a neutral cleaner.
• Rinse detergent residue where required.
• Dry wet areas where slip risk matters.
• Increase cleaning frequency in entrances and workshops.

What to avoid

• Harsh acids or strong alkaline degreasers unless approved for the coating.
• Wire brushes, aggressive scouring pads, or dry abrasive scrubbing.
• Dragging pallets, metal stands, or heavy machinery across the floor.
• Leaving oil, solvents, or dye-based spills overnight.
