How to Maintain Polyaspartic Floor Coatings
Polyaspartic floors require minimal maintenance, but if you want to ensure they stay in the best shape, there are a few things you can do.
Sweep or Vacuum Regularly
It’s important to prevent dirt and debris from building up on your polyaspartic floors, which can lead to wear and tear or abrasions over time. Sweeping, or even vacuuming, weekly can help remove this buildup and prevent damage from occurring.
Spot-Clean Stains
Spills will happen, which is why polyaspartic coatings are designed to be chemical resistant, but leaving spills to sit for a long period of time could cause damage to even the strongest floors. If you see any spills, especially abrasive chemicals like battery acid or cleaning solutions, it’s important to swiftly remove them to prevent stains or damage to your floors.
Mop With a pH-Neutral Cleaner
Mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner can be added to your regular routine to ensure your floors maintain their color and shine.
Avoid Abrasive Cleaners
Polyaspartic floors can be vulnerable to highly acidic substances, which include abrasive cleaners. For best results when cleaning your floors, aim for a pH-neutral cleaning option and avoid cleaners that contain harsh chemicals.
Seal Polyaspartic Floor Coating Regularly (Optional)
Applying a clear finishing coat to your floors once or twice a year can go a long way in terms of longevity. This protective layer can help guard against wear and tear and refresh the appearance of your polyaspartic-coated floors. If you are interested in a floor refresh, Robo Painting can help.
Polyaspartic vs. Epoxy Garage Floor Coatings
Epoxy and polyaspartic are two of the most popular concrete coating options for homeowners, and while they may seem similar, there are a few differences homeowners should consider when making their decision. Epoxy coating is a polymer coating, while polyaspartic coating is a hybrid coating that resembles polyurethane. Epoxy coating is considered more affordable, but choosing polyaspartic coating can help you save in the long run as it is more durable and won’t scratch or chip, unlike epoxy coating, which is vulnerable to abrasions. Polyaspartic coating dries very quickly, typically in about an hour, while epoxy coating can take up to 16 hours to fully dry.
