Clean An Epoxy Garage Floor in 3 EASY STEPS

SPRING

IS HERE,

and summer arrives next month. If you haven’t cleaned your PremierGarage floor of all the winter grime and dirt, it’s certainly easy to do. While a PremierGarage floor coating is known for it’s durability, slip-, and stain-resistant properties, just like any floor, it does get dirty and needs to be cleaned. Learning how to care for and clean a garage floor will ensure long-term function and satisfaction with your floor.

Step 1: Clear the Floor of Loose Debris

Remove anything that is sitting on the garage floor so the entire floor is exposed. Sweep or shop vac the floor to remove dirt, sand, or other debris. Make sure to clean under cabinets, work benches, or appliances. In preparation for step two, place small plastic baggies over the garage infrared door sensors to they don’t get wet.

Step 2: Clean the Floor

The best way to clean the floor is by using a mop. A heavy-duty cotton mop is recommended, and a rolling bucket will make the task easier, since you’ll want to rinse the mop as you go section by section. Take extra care as your work, since enough water on any floor will make it slippery.

Cleaning solutions that will clean while protecting the finish include ammonia. Just mix five ounces of clear ammonia per gallon of water. Also, a diluted solution of a degreaser like Simple Green mixed with one-half cup per gallon of water cleans well.

Step 3: Rinse and Dry

Use a hose and spray nozzle to rinse the floor. Your garage floor will have a natural slope from the back of the garage to the driveway, so start at the highest point at the back to spray and rinse. Be careful under cabinets to limit splashing water onto wood components. Hose back and sides of the floor to the middle, then out the door. To quickly dry the floor and ensure no standing puddles of water remain, use a floor squeegee (18 or 24 inches to speed things up) or a clean street broom to move any water out of the garage, using the same back-and-sides-tomiddle routine. Remove the plastic baggies from the garage door sensors and you’re done.

If you haven’t had a PremierGarage floor installed, consider the benefits:

• Increase the resale value of your home.

• Improve safety with a floor that is slip, impact, and heatresistant and brightens the area with increased light reflectivity.

• Open up new activities in your garage. It could double as a children’s play area, an exercise room, or hobby nook.
