Though polished concrete floors are naturally durable, it is still important to regularly clean your surface in order for the sealers to maintain their original fresh appearance. We suggest the use of doormats in central entrances, especially with commercial buildings with street curb access.
POLISHED CONCRETE FLOOR MAINTENANCE
GENERAL CONCRETE MAINTENANCE
- Regular dust mopping
- Damp mop when resistant dirt residues are present
- Periodically apply a floor finish to maintain the shine of the sealer
- To create a high gloss surface apply floor finish then buff with high speed floor machine at 1500 rev/min
LONG TERM MAINTENANCE
When to apply a new coat of floor finish:
- Heavy usage: once a month cleaning program recommended for shopping malls and markets
- Medium usage: retail and restaurants require maintenance every 6 months
- Low usage: every 12-24 months suggested for residential properties
REFINISHING PROCEDURE
- Dust mop or vacuum until perfectly clean
- Scrub floor with a mild detergent and warm water
- Apply floor finish with microfiber pad or applicator
- If needed, apply another coat 30 minutes after the first pour
