The Simple Guide to Garage Floor Maintenance

Garage Floor CoatingCleaning, Epoxy Flooring

Maintaining your garage floor in Nashville should be both practical and easy. Epoxy and polyaspartic coatings offer a perfect blend of durability, aesthetics, and minimal maintenance, making them an ideal choice for any homeowner. However, despite how minimal the upkeep is compared to the other garage flooring options out there, you still need to make sure it’s clean and serviced if you want to get the most years out of your epoxy coating as possible. Here’s your guide to garage floor maintenance.

What You Need and How to Do It:

Basic tools needed for upkeep include a broom, a bucket with a wringer, and a string mop. For an even easier cleaning routine, consider using a leaf blower, Wash & Wax automotive detergent, and a microfiber dust mop. Regular detergents should be avoided as they leave residues that attract dirt and you won’t get that glorious shine you may remember from when it was first installed.

Clear loose dirt and debris with a broom or leaf blower. Mix 1 oz of Wash & Wax detergent per gallon of warm water in a bucket, mop the floor, and let it air dry or use a microfiber dust mop. For outdoor cleaning (like driveways, patios, poolsides, etc), hose down and squeegee off the water.

This simple cleaning process ensures your epoxy and polyaspartic coating remains in top condition, ready to withstand whatever weather Tennessee is going to throw at you.
