Most Boston, MA homeowners use their garages for a variety of different activities. This can include storing vehicles and other motorized equipment, as well as having a shop to get projects done and to work on hobbies.
Any of these types of activities can result in spills and accidents. If the garage has epoxy flooring, cleanup will be simple and straightforward, particularly if the mess is detected immediately and wiped up.
General Cleaning
There is no need to wet mop or wash your epoxy flooring in Boston, MA to get up dust, dirt and small particle materials. Dry mopping or sweeping, or even using a leaf blower, is a simple and effective way to get rid of surface grime.
For mud or more significant surface dirt, wet mop using a neutral pH, non-abrasive type of cleaning solution. Never use vinegar, any citrus-based cleaners or other types of acids as these leave a dull surface. If there is no sticky material, simply using a hose and sprayer is an effective way to clean the surface. A squeegee can then be used to push out the excess water and prevent a dull film from forming on the surface.
Sticky Issues
Any type of sticky spills such as grease, paint or other types of liquids or semi-solids should be wiped up with a dry or damp cloth as soon as possible. If the mess has partially dried, applying warm water with the cleaner and a damp towel and letting it soften can help to lift the mess off the surface. This process should be short in duration and only a few minutes of soaking is all that is needed. A deck brush can be used if there is a significant amount of material.
With epoxy flooring, never use a scraper or an abrasive scrubber. This can remove the surface of the floor and leave a dull area. Getting in the habit of immediately wiping up messes prevents this issue in any Boston, MA garage.
