Do you want to keep your new epoxy commercial floor finish looking great for years to come? Follow these three tips:

There are specific cleaners approved for epoxy finishes, make sure what you are using is one of them. And before trying a new cleanser, test an inconspicuous area to make sure it will not damage the floor.
2) Clean Spills Up

Yes, but you do need to maintain the wheels on your tool carts, vehicles, or anything else you will want to move around. Why?

Even if you drop items a couple of times and nothing happens, eventually, something will. Take care to have your floor last as long as possible.
