Floor Care & Maintenance Guide

For Your New Garage or Patio Epoxy Flake Floor

Thank you for choosing us for your new floor coating. Your floor is designed to be durable, long-lasting, and easy to maintain. Please follow the guidelines below to ensure the best performance and longevity.

Initial Cure Times

Light foot traffic: After 12 hours
Light items (chairs, small furniture, boxes): After 24 hours
Heavy items (appliances, toolboxes, grills, etc.): After 48 hours (2 days)
Vehicle traffic: After 72 hours (3 days)

Cure times are based on normal temperatures (around 70–80°F). Cooler temperatures may extend these times.

First 7 Days (Important)

Your floor continues to fully cure during the first week.

Avoid dragging heavy or sharp objects
Avoid turning tires while stationary (no “hot tire twisting”)
Avoid placing rubber mats or plastic containers directly on the floor
Clean up spills promptly

Routine Cleaning

To keep your floor looking its best:

Sweep or blow off dust, dirt, and debris regularly
Rinse with a hose or mop with warm water and a mild cleaner (such as dish soap or a neutral floor cleaner)
For heavier dirt, use a soft bristle brush or microfiber mop

Pressure Washing (Patios & Outdoor Areas)

Avoid high-pressure washing, as it can prematurely wear down the topcoat
If pressure washing is needed, use low pressure only (under 1,500 PSI)
Keep the nozzle at least 12–18 inches away from the surface
Use a wide fan tip (25–40 degrees), never a pinpoint tip

Improper pressure washing can reduce gloss, increase wear, and shorten the life of the coating.

What to Avoid

Do not use abrasive brushes or steel wool
Avoid harsh degreasers or acidic cleaners
Do not use citrus or vinegar-based cleaners frequently
Avoid dropping heavy or sharp objects that could damage the coating

Spills & Chemicals

Your floor is resistant to most common substances, but:

Clean up oil, gas, grease, or chemicals as soon as possible
Long-term exposure can cause staining or dulling

Tires & Furniture Care

Avoid turning vehicle tires while stopped (especially in the first week)
Use care when moving furniture or grills on patios
Use pads or protection under heavy items when possible

General Tips

Use felt pads under furniture or equipment
Place entry mats in high-traffic areas if needed
Keeping the surface clean will help maintain both appearance and slip resistance
