Maintaining the Shine: Tips to Make Your Concrete Floors Last a Lifetime

At WeCoat Central Texas, we take pride in providing high-quality, low-maintenance concrete coating solutions. Our three-layer system utilizes a polyurea base and polyaspartic topcoat that won’t chip, scratch or scuff. It’s four times more durable than epoxy and guaranteed for 15 years, and with proper care and maintenance, you can extend the life of your WeCoat floors even further. Here are some essential tips to help you maintain the beauty and durability of your concrete floors for years to come:

Keep a Regular Cleaning Routine.
Sweep or vacuum the floor regularly to remove dirt, dust, and debris that can scratch the surface. Mop the floor with a neutral pH cleaner and water solution to remove stains and spills. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the sealed coating.

Protect the Surface.
Use rugs or mats at entryways and high-traffic areas to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked onto the floor. Employ furniture pads or coasters under heavy furniture to prevent scratching or denting the surface.

Handle Spills Immediately.
Clean up spills promptly to prevent staining and etching of the sealer. Use a clean cloth or paper towel to blot up the spill, then clean the area with a mild detergent and water solution.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals.
Refrain from using harsh chemicals, such as bleach, ammonia, or acidic cleaners, on your sealed concrete floors, as they can damage the coating and compromise its protective properties.

Professional Maintenance, As Needed.
Schedule regular professional cleaning and maintenance to keep your floors in top condition. Professional cleaning can help remove embedded dirt and stains, rejuvenate the sealer, and extend the life of your flooring. While our floors come with a 15-year guarantee, resealing may be required over time, depending on factors such as foot traffic and exposure to sunlight and moisture.

By following these maintenance tips, you can maximize the longevity of your WeCoat concrete floors and enjoy their beauty and durability for years to come. While our floors are low-maintenance and guaranteed for 15 years, proper care and maintenance will ensure they remain in excellent condition well beyond that time frame. At WeCoat Central Texas, we’re here to provide you with expert advice, high-quality products, and professional services to help you make the most of your investment.
