Achieve a Spotless Epoxy Garage Floor In Three Simple Steps
Renowned for its durability and resistance to slips and stains, this floor coating is low-maintenance, but regular cleaning helps keep it looking its best. Follow these simple steps to maintain your floor’s allure and maximize your investment.
Step 1: Clear Away Loose Debris
Start by removing any items from your garage floor to ensure full access. Sweep or vacuum the surface thoroughly, paying attention to areas under cabinets, workbenches, and appliances. Don’t forget to shield the garage door’s infrared sensors with small plastic baggies to protect them from moisture during the cleaning process.
Step 2: Scrub the Surface
Mopping is the most effective way to clean your garage floor. Use a heavy-duty cotton mop, paired with a rolling bucket for easy rinsing. Be careful to avoid excess water accumulation, as it can create slippery conditions. For a cleaning solution, try:
Ammonia Mixture: Combine 5 ounces of clear ammonia with 1 gallon of water.
Degreaser Solution: Mix ½ cup of a degreaser, like Simple Green, with 1 gallon of water.
Both options effectively clean and protect your floor’s finish.
Step 3: Rinse and Dry
Use a hose with a spray nozzle to thoroughly rinse the floor, starting from the highest point at the back of your garage and working toward the driveway. Avoid splashing water on wooden components, such as cabinet bases. Direct the hose from the back and sides toward the center, then out the garage door.
To ensure a spotless, dry surface, use a floor squeegee (18-24 inches) or a clean street broom. Follow the same back-and-sides-to-middle technique. Finally, remove the plastic baggies from the garage door sensors, and you’re done!
