Dust and debris removal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/armorpoxy.com\/epoxy-epoxyflooring-coatings-epoxies\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Epoxy floors<\/a>\u00a0are resistant to stains, but regular cleaning prevents dirt nd frit from dulling the surface. Use a soft-bristle broom or a dust mop to sweep daily and remove loose debris that could scratch the floor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>b. Avoid abrasive tool<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Avoid using hard-bristled brushed or metal scrapers as they leave permanent scratches. Instead choose non-abrasive cleaning tools to protect the epoxy\u2019s finish.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Weekly_maintenance_for_Lasting_Shine\"><\/span>2: Weekly maintenance for Lasting Shine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>a. Mild soap and water solution<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For Weekly cleaning, mix a few drops of pH-neutral soap with warm water. Mop the floor using a microfiber mop or a sponge to remove grime and maintain a streak-free shine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>b. Spot cleaning stains<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you notice stains, act quickly.
