Concrete Coating Care and Maintenance Guide

Dry cleaning (weekly or as needed)

• Sweep with a soft broom or use a dust mop/microfiber pad.

• In garages, a quick blow-out + sweep is great.

 

Wet cleaning (every 1–4 weeks depending on traffic)

• Use warm water + a pH-neutral cleaner (or a small amount of mild dish soap).

• Mop with a microfiber mop.

• If you used soap, rinse once with clean water to prevent haze/film.

 

Avoid:

• Vinegar-heavy mixes

• Citrus/solvent cleaners

• “Gritty” powdered cleaners

Wipe up promptly, especially:

• Oil, gasoline, brake fluid

• Fertilizers, pool chemicals

• Strong cleaners/solvents

​

For grease/oil:

• Blot up excess

• Clean with warm water + pH-neutral cleaner

• If needed, use a diluted degreaser (spot test first), then rinse well

 

For rubber marks

• Usually removes with a microfiber cloth + mild cleaner

• A non-abrasive melamine sponge can help lightly (don’t scrub aggressively)

What to avoid (prevents most damage)

• Abrasive scrub pads, steel wool, stiff bristle brushes

• Undiluted degreasers left to dwell

• Solvents (acetone/MEK/paint stripper) unless approved by installer

• Dragging metal legs, appliances, or toolboxes
