Care and Maintenance of your stained concrete floor. 1 Clean floor with Zep Neutral Floor Cleaner from Home Depot. Never use detergents as they will cloud the sealer. 2 Additional coats of sealer can be applied to the floor at any time to give it a fresh shine and protect the floor from wear. The frequency of application depends on traffic. In a residence, we recommend a coat in the traffic areas approximately once every 4-6 months. Commercial buildings may require additional coats monthly or even more depending on your traffic but should be applied at least once per quarter to maintain the floors finish and protection. 3 Use Zep High Traffic Floor Finish and Rayon mop (blue & white) from Home Depot. Follow the directions on the container. 4 Keeping the floor clean on a daily basis is best accomplished by using a dust mop. For best results a slightly damp mop or regular dust mop will keep the floor clean and minimize scratching. 5 Do not lay Rubber backed mats on a Stained Concrete floor. The rubber will stick to the Sealer. You can place an old bed sheet or other cloth directly on the floor and they lay the rubber backed mat over them to protect the floor. When using carpet pads under area rugs, be sure to use high quality pads. The inexpensive pads have a high amount of rubber in them and will also stick to your floor. 6 Do not lay thin plastic sheeting on your floor. Over time, this will also bond to your sealer. Plastic furniture protectors are fine to use and will not stick to the floor. 7 If you have an area in your home where a rolling chair will be used, such as an office, you will need additional protection on your floor. Use either a non-rubber backed carpet or a thick plastic floor protector without the carpet nubs. 8 On exterior stained surfaces, a garden hose and brush should remove most dirt and grime. Stubborn spots can be cleaned with diluted Simple Green and rinsed with fresh water. |
