Care instructions
Although the maintenance of a polished concrete floor is minimal compared to other flooring and the cleaning is relatively low impact, it is important to clean and maintain a polished concrete floor to assist in longevity.
Sweeping at least twice a week using a dust mop or preferably a micro-fibre mop will go a long way towards preserving the beauty of your polished concrete floor.
Mop the floor with a light (neutral) detergent at least once per week or as required.
If a liquid is spilled on the floor (especially coffee, tea, wine or cola), it is best to clean up the spill as soon as possible with a clean cloth and water so the integrity of the surface is kept intact.
The use of walk off mats are highly recommended at entrances and can reduce the long term maintenance required, keeping sand and salts from affecting the gloss level of the floors.
Not Recommended
Penetrating Stains (i.e. – oil, red wine) – these types of products can leave a discoloured or darkened area by attaching to the pores in the concrete. These stains can be minimized by timely clean up but if left on the surface for a period of time can leave a darkened or discoloured area.
Reactive Stains (i.e. – orange juice, acids) – these types of products can etch the surface if not cleaned up in a timely manner. In the case of harsh acids such a muriatic etching can occur instantly.
