The good news about a properly installed polyurea and polyaspartic floor is that the maintenance program is short and cheap. The bad news is that the few things that do damage it are common janitorial habits.
Here is the program we hand every client at closeout.
Daily and weekly
Dust mop or sweep daily. The actual mechanism of wear on a coated floor is grit being ground under traffic, so removing grit is most of the job.
Damp mop weekly, or more often in food and service environments, with a pH-neutral cleaner and clean water.
What to never put on the floor
A small number of products cause nearly all avoidable damage.
- Citrus or acidic cleaners — they dull and etch the topcoat
- Ammonia-based products and bleach at full strength
- Soap-based cleaners that leave a slippery film and defeat slip rating
- Steel wool, wire brushes and aggressive scouring pads
- Pooled solvents, brake cleaner or fuel left sitting for hours

Use soft, non-marking wheels on carts and racks. Put pads under machinery that vibrates. Never drag steel stock, pallets or equipment across the surface.
In warehouses, keep forklift forks up in travel and repair damaged wheels quickly — a flat-spotted wheel is a grinder.
Annual attention
Once a year, walk the floor and look at the high-traffic lanes, the dock approaches and the equipment zones. Small areas of topcoat wear can be spot-recoated cheaply if they are caught before the base layer is exposed.
We offer annual inspections for our commercial clients, and most floors need nothing more than a report.
