Floor Care & Maintenance for Epoxy & Polyurea Coatings

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Garage Perfect’s Coating System. Our exclusive coating system exhibits superior chemical and abrasion resistance, withstanding spills, dirt, and vehicle traffic. GARAGE PERFECT’s Coating Systems can be maintained through routine sweeping and mopping. Deterioration can be prevented by removing loose particles, soil, and oil/grease based products promptly and regularly.

Never use cleaning products containing Soy

Soy based products or products containing soy break down the top coat sealer of your coating system, causing premature failure.

Routine Maintenance

Overtime abrasive particles can get ground into your concrete finish from common and high traffic work areas and cause premature gloss reduction. This type of damage is preventable by routine sweeping and mopping.

When mopping your floors, we recommend using a clean polyester mop and a mild soap added to water. For worry some stains a healthy dose of “elbow grease” to break down contaminants and accumulations is also necessary. Floors should be rinsed thoroughly with lots of clear, clean water.

Note: Promptly remove grease, oil, gasoline, solvents, chemical solutions and other contaminants.

Severe Spillage, Stains and Tread Marks

While our products resist damage, any spill left too long is a potential hazard to safety and floor longevity. Don’t worry though! Cleaning is simple:

Wet Spills: 

  • Start by absorbing as much liquid as possible with a dry rag. 
  • Then, use a wet mop or rag with a small amount of mild soap to remove residue. 
  • Finally, wash the area with a clean, wet rag and allow it to dry.

 

Grease/Oil:

  • First, remove as much of the spill as possible with paper towels or shop rag.
  • Next, scrub the spot with water and a degreasing soap like dish soap.
  • Then, wash residue and soap away with clean water and a rag or mop. 
  • Last, dry the area with a clean rag.

 

Tread Marks:

  • We offer tread mark resistant flooring so you’ll never worry about permanent damage to your garage floor. If a tread mark appears, begin by trying to remove it with a soft bristle brush or broom. If that doesn’t work, mop the spot with a mild detergent.

 

Dry Spills:

  • Cleaning dry spills quickly is critical to a long-lasting flooring. Left uncleaned, tiny abrasive particles can spread and damage the surface. Sweep up dry spills quickly, and consider periodic vacuum cleaning to remove all abrasives. 

Which Cleaners Are Best?

There are a variety of cleaning solutions available on the market. Not all of these cleaning products are safe to use on concrete floor coating. Harsh cleaners can have detrimental effects on the floor coating and could cause premature deterioration of the installed system.

We at Ottawa Concrete and Garage Perfect recommend using mild soap and water mixtures. If water and soap don’t get the job done use a mild degreaser diluted with water at a mixture of no more than 40% Degreaser and 60% water. Rinse thoroughly after degreaser application.

Waxing and Polishing

Garage Perfect’s Coating Systems contains a high gloss finish and typically does not need regular waxing or polishing. However, should wear areas appear in heavy traffic areas over time we recommend using an ecofriendly wax that does not contain soy products.

Enjoy Your Long-Lasting Floors

Although we offer high-quality products backed with a guarantee, they still need care. Prompt attention to spills and markings are essential to extend your floor’s life. Harsh chemicals, soy based products, and hard brushes can severely damage the coating on your product and can void your warranty. Routine, gentle cleaning ensures that your floor looks new for decades.
