How To Clean Polyaspartic Garage Floors

Polyaspartic coatings are one of the best choices for garage floors. They’re durable, resistant against marks and chemicals, and provide a super crisp and clean finish which looks great for your garage.

Like most concrete coatings, they need to be maintained in order to preserve their look and protective abilities.

But don’t stress – you won’t have to tire yourself out with excessive scrubbing and polishing. Polyaspartic floors are pretty low-maintenance.

Here’s how to clean a polyaspartic garage floor, and how the team at Dulux Avista can help you if you’re looking to install a polyaspartic flooring system:

What is polyaspartic coating?
Polyaspartic coating is a type of flooring system. It’s a heavy-duty, fast-drying alternative to traditional epoxy coatings which can either be solvent- or water-based. Polyaspartic coats are solvent-free and are used on concrete floors and other surfaces. They’re renowned for durability, fast curing time and excellent resistance to UV damage.

Cleaning your polyaspartic garage floor
Polyaspartic coatings are popular as a garage floor coating, thanks to their resistance against wear and tear and chemicals and staining, which are two main considerations for garages. They can resist tyre marks, foot traffic and fluid leaks, making them ideal for garages.

However, like all concrete coatings, they do need some occasional maintenance. Here’s how to best clean your polyaspartic garage floor:

• 1) Regular vacuuming

  It’s a good idea to regularly vacuum your polyaspartic garage floor. Unlike unsealed garage floors, polyaspartic floors are smooth and easy to vacuum. To prevent dirt and debris from building up, which can cause scratching and abrasions, vacuum your polyaspartic garage floor at least once a month.

• 2) Mop with a pH-neutral agent

  After a vacuum, mop your polyaspartic garage floor using a pH-neutral agent. Using acidic cleaning agents, like vinegar, or alkaline cleaning agents, like bleach, can lead to the quicker deterioration of your flooring.

• 3) Tackle stains immediately

  If you’re dealing with spillages or stains, which most garage floors do experience, get onto cleaning them immediately. While polyaspartic flooring is resistant to many chemicals, the sooner they’re cleaned up, the more effective protection they provide.

• 4) Reseal your polyaspartic flooring

  In order to best preserve your concrete, we recommend resealing your polyaspartic garage floor every 5-10 years, depending on how much use it gets and how intensely it’s used. This protects the concrete underneath and refreshes the look of worn-out polyaspartic flooring.
