Best Practices for Cleaning Polyaspartic Flake & Quartz Floors
By Revival Concrete Coatings
When you invest in premium concrete floor coatings like polyaspartic flake or quartz systems, maintaining that showroom-quality finish is essential. Fortunately, both of these flooring solutions are designed to be low-maintenance and highly durable — perfect for garages, basements, commercial spaces, and more.
To help you get the most from your investment, we’ve outlined best practices for cleaning and maintaining your polyaspartic flake and quartz floors so they stay looking brand new for years to come.
Why Proper Maintenance Matters
Polyaspartic floors are resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and UV exposure, while flake and quartz systems provide added texture, slip resistance, and visual appeal. However, even the toughest floors benefit from routine care:
Prolongs lifespan of your coating
Prevents buildup of grime and debris
Maintains safety through improved traction
Preserves the aesthetic value of your floors
Daily & Weekly Cleaning Routine
1. Dry Debris Removal
Use a soft-bristle broom, dust mop, or dry microfiber mop to remove dirt, dust, and grit. Avoid stiff brushes or metal tools that could damage the surface.
Pro Tip: For garages or commercial areas with more traffic, consider using a leaf blower to remove loose debris quickly.
2. Wet Mopping (Weekly or As Needed)
Use a pH-neutral cleaner diluted with warm water. Apply with a microfiber mop or soft mop head. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners which can degrade the coating’s finish.
Recommended Cleaning Solution:
A few drops of dish soap (non-abrasive) in a bucket of warm water.
Commercial pH-neutral floor cleaners labeled safe for epoxy or polyaspartic coatings.
Deep Cleaning: Monthly or Quarterly
For areas with heavy usage or exposure to chemicals (like garages or workshops), schedule deeper cleanings:
Steps:
Clear the area of furniture, tools, or vehicles.
Vacuum or sweep thoroughly.
Use a soft-bristle scrub brush or walk-behind scrubber (non-aggressive pads only).
Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Dry the surface using a wet vac or allow it to air dry with good ventilation.
Avoid: Steam cleaners or high-pressure washers, which may compromise the floor’s sealant over time.
Spill and Stain Management
Oil & Grease:
Wipe up immediately with paper towels.
Clean residue using a degreasing cleaner diluted properly (safe for coated floors).
Chemicals & Paint:
Remove immediately to prevent etching or discoloration.
Use a mild cleaner — no acetone or MEK-based products.
Rust or Metal Marks:
Light scrubbing with a nylon pad and a pH-neutral cleaner often does the trick.
Avoid steel wool or harsh abrasives.
Seasonal Maintenance Tips
Winter:
Use floor mats to trap road salt and snow.
Mop more frequently to prevent salt residue from dulling the surface.
Summer:
Watch for sand or mud buildup near entrances — sweep regularly.
Humidity won’t harm polyaspartic floors, but use fans for faster drying post-cleaning.
What to Avoid
❌ Acid-based cleaners (e.g., vinegar, bleach)
❌ Abrasive pads or wire brushes
❌ High-pressure washers
❌ Leaving puddles or standing water
