Industrial epoxy flooring is a popular choice in Austin because it’s economical, durable, yet easy to maintain. It can be used in laboratories, processing plants, medical facilities, and any high-traffic environment and resist everything from chemical spills and forklift traffic to cart wheels and abrasion. Keeping an industrial epoxy floor looking and performing its best doesn’t require much more than a simple cleaning protocol. Here is how you can maintain your epoxy floor for years to come.

Sweep Regularly
Grit and dirt on the epoxy can become embedded in the surface and lead to damage over time. Sweeping daily or using a shop vacuum to remove grit is an easy and important step to maintain the appearance of the epoxy, especially in environments with vehicle traffic and moving machinery. While an epoxy floor coating is very resistant to abrasion, it’s still a good idea to keep the floor free of grit to extend its lifespan.

Neutralize and Clean Spills Quickly
Epoxy flooring resists chemical damage and isolates spills on the surface. Still, the epoxy won’t resist chemical damage forever. Some chemicals can change not only the appearance but also the function of your epoxy coating if allowed to sit for too long. Spills should be cleaned up promptly to avoid damage to the epoxy as well as the concrete substrate. Always keep a neutralizing agent close at hand to neutralize spills before
