How to Maintain and Clean Metallic Epoxy Flooring for Long-Lasting Shine
Metallic epoxy flooring is known for its stunning visual depth, seamless finish, and durability. In Singapore, where humidity, foot traffic, and daily wear are part of everyday life, proper maintenance is key to preserving both its beauty and performance.
The good news? Metallic epoxy floors are among the easiest surfaces to maintain when cared for correctly. In this guide, Bling Epoxy shares practical cleaning and maintenance tips to help your metallic epoxy flooring retain its shine for many years.
Why Proper Maintenance Matters
Metallic epoxy flooring is a premium surface designed to last. While it is highly resistant to stains, moisture, and abrasion, neglect or improper cleaning methods can dull the surface over time.
Regular maintenance helps to:
- Preserve the floor’s glossy, reflective finish
- Prevent fine scratches from dust and grit
- Maintain hygiene, especially in Singapore’s humid climate
- Extend the overall lifespan of the epoxy coating
With the right care routine, metallic epoxy flooring can look as impressive years later as it did on day one.
Daily & Weekly Cleaning: Simple Is Best
One of the biggest advantages of metallic epoxy flooring is its seamless, non-porous surface, which prevents dirt from getting trapped.
Daily Care
- Use a soft broom or microfiber dust mop to remove dust and sand
- Focus on high-traffic areas such as entrances and walkways
This prevents abrasive particles from causing micro-scratches over time.
Weekly Cleaning
- Mop using clean water or a pH-neutral floor cleaner
- Use a soft microfiber mop, never abrasive pads
- Change mop water regularly to avoid spreading dirt
Avoid excessive water pooling, even though epoxy is waterproof.
What Cleaners Are Safe for Metallic Epoxy Floors?
Choosing the right cleaning products is essential.
Recommended Cleaners
- pH-neutral floor cleaners
- Mild dish soap diluted with water
- Clean water for light maintenance
Cleaners to Avoid
- Acidic cleaners (vinegar, citrus-based products)
- Alkaline or ammonia-based cleaners
- Abrasive powders or scrubbing pads
- Steam mops, which may affect the topcoat over time
Using harsh chemicals can reduce gloss and weaken the protective top layer.
Handling Spills, Stains & Marks
Metallic epoxy flooring is highly stain-resistant, making it ideal for homes, shops, and F&B spaces in Singapore.
Best Practices
- Wipe spills promptly with a soft cloth
- For tougher marks, use mild soap and warm water
- Avoid letting chemicals or oils sit for extended periods
Most stains can be removed easily due to the non-porous nature of epoxy.
Preventing Scratches & Wear
While epoxy flooring is durable, preventative measures help maintain its flawless appearance.
Tips to Reduce Wear
- Place mats at entrances to trap sand and grit
- Use felt pads under furniture legs
- Avoid dragging heavy furniture across the floor
- Use rubber or soft wheels on chairs where possible
In commercial settings, these steps significantly reduce surface wear.
Anti-Slip Maintenance Considerations
Many metallic epoxy floors installed by Bling Epoxy include anti-slip additives, especially for bathrooms, kitchens, and commercial areas.
To maintain anti-slip performance:
- Clean regularly to prevent soap or grease buildup
- Avoid waxes or polish products not approved for epoxy
- Use appropriate cleaners that don’t leave slippery residues
A clean epoxy floor is a safer epoxy floor.
Periodic Professional Maintenance
Although metallic epoxy flooring requires minimal upkeep, professional maintenance can help restore shine in high-traffic environments.
When to Consider Professional Care
- Commercial spaces with heavy daily foot traffic
- Floors that have lost gloss after many years
- Minor surface wear that does not require full recoating
At Bling Epoxy, we offer professional assessments to determine whether polishing, topcoat refresh, or simple cleaning is sufficient.
How Long Will the Shine Last?
With proper cleaning and maintenance:
- Residential metallic epoxy floors can maintain their shine for 10–15 years or more
