Did you know that 64% of Americans say they don’t have time to take care of themselves? If you don’t have time to focus on yourself in your everyday life, you aren’t likely to focus on your garage either.
When you get a garage floor coating, you don’t have to worry about your floors being difficult to maintain. So, how often should you have garage floor coating maintenance?
Keep reading to find out.
How Often Should You Maintain Your Garage Floor Coating?
Garage floor coatings made from polyurea are more durable than epoxy and can resist stains, scrapes, chemical corrosion, and extreme temperatures.
Even though this is the case, maintaining garage floor coatings is still necessary. How often you should maintain floors depends on how much traffic your garage sees.
If your garage is a high-traffic area, you’ll need to complete day-to-day maintenance to ensure your floors look of quality. Additionally, you should regularly opt for surface waxing to protect against high-traffic areas.
Day-to-Day Maintenance
If you begin to notice loose dust, dirt, and other debris on your garage floors, you can easily sweep or vacuum the mess.
Any spills on polyurea coatings should be immediately cleaned up with a clean rag. Cleaning spills right away prevents staining and chemical attacks on the top coat of the floor coating for garages.
As-Needed Maintenance
Garage floor coating maintenance isn’t always as simple as sweeping and vacuuming. Yet, you won’t need to complete much maintenance unless it’s needed.
When you begin to notice more than loose debris making your garage look messy, use a safe soap solution and degreaser to remove stubborn debris from the surface.
A mild, environmentally safe soap generally gets the job done, but check with your manufacturer’s instructions for the best results.
Hard water stains, dirt, road oils, and road wear can be removed with vinegar or Windex with ammonia. Try to avoid harsh detergents such as alkalis or acids. These ingredients can cause damage to your garage floor coating.
Removing Hard Water Stains
A solution of Windex and vinegar or a solution of one part white vinegar and four parts water can remove hard water stains.
Not only will this clean the hard water stains you might be having difficulty removing, but it will also restore your garage floor coatings’ shine.
Remove Garage Clutter
A lot of clutter in your garage makes it difficult to maintain your floor coating. Whenever you sweep the garage out, clear any possible clutter from the floor to get a more thorough clean.
Even better, consider quality storage solutions that can mitigate a clutter problem. Clutter makes rooms, even garages, look dirty whether or not the floor is sparkly clean.
