Once a interior concrete floor surface has been
beautifully enhanced by polishing, it is time to discuss how to
maintain the lovely look on an ongoing basis.
-Sweep with a dust mop or vacuum across the whole area at least twice a week.
-Mop the floor with a light detergent (like Dawn) at a ratio 1 cap full per gallon of water at least once a week.
- If a liquid is spilled on the floor (especially
coffee, tea, wine or cola), it is best to clean up the spill as soon as
possible with a clean cloth and water so the integrity of the surface
is kept intact.
Items or products not recommended:
• Any type of bleach detergent (such as Soft
Scrub, Clorox) as this tends to start breaking down the sealer or
polish on the floor.
• Any acid based products such as vinegar or ammonia.
• Any type of abrasive cleaning cloths such as SOS pads, scrubbers, or brillos.
• Harsh cleaning detergents such as Bon Ami,
Comet, or Mop & Glo on these surfaces as it will dull the surface
and may leave slightly "scuff" marks because of the abrasive qualities
of these detergents.
Please be sure to rinse or clean off the residue
of the cleaning products that you use thoroughly from the surface. In
order to ensure this, it is best to use a clean cloth or sponge with
water so there is not any remaining substance from previous use (such
as using the type of sponge that you use to clean the dishes).
It is also recommended that you have the floor
resealed with polish at least every 3-5 years to ensure the continuous
virtual maintenance free floor.
