Maintenance Guide

• Sweep or dust mop weekly

  Sand, road salt, and grit are the only real enemies — they act like sandpaper underfoot and under tires. A microfiber dust mop takes 60 seconds.

• Wipe spills as they happen

  Oil, brake fluid, gasoline, and battery acid will not damage the coating, but they get tracked everywhere. A paper towel handles it.

• Walk-off mats at entry doors

  Stops 80% of grit before it ever reaches the floor. Replace mats when they look loaded.

A quick wet clean once a month keeps the floor looking showroom-fresh.

• Hose or pressure-wash on low

  Polyaspartic is fully waterproof — feel free to flood it.

• Mop with warm water and a pH-neutral cleaner

  Simple Green, mild dish soap, or any commercial neutral floor cleaner works. Avoid anything labeled 'degreaser' at full strength.

• Squeegee toward the drain or door

  Standing water won't damage the floor but can leave mineral spots in hard-water areas.

• Acidic cleaners

  Vinegar, citrus cleaners, or anything labeled 'acid' or 'rust remover' can etch the top coat over years of repeated use.

• Abrasive pads or steel wool

  Use a soft-bristle deck brush or microfiber pad. Never scrub with steel wool or green Scotch-Brite.

• Rubber tire mats left in place

  Some rubber compounds leach plasticizers that can stain any coating. Either avoid rubber mats or move them every few weeks.

• Hot tire pickup myth

  This is a problem with cheap DIY epoxy, not professional polyaspartic systems. Park whenever you want.

Once a year, take 5 minutes to walk the floor and check for:

• New cracks in the concrete

  Structural cracks can telegraph through the coating. Catch them early and we can fill them before water gets underneath.

• Edge lift at thresholds or floor drains

  Rare on properly prepped floors, but easy to spot-repair if it happens.

• Top-coat dulling in high-traffic lanes

  After 10–15 years, a single refresher coat of polyaspartic restores the original gloss for a fraction of the original install cost.
