How to Maintain Your Coated Garage Floor

An epoxy garage floor is an investment that transforms your garage into a clean, stylish, and durable space. Whether you chose epoxy flooring or a polyaspartic system from Elevated Coatings, proper maintenance is the key to keeping your floor looking like new for years to come.

The good news? Maintaining a coated garage floor is easier than you think.

1. Sweep Regularly

Dirt, dust, and small debris can act like sandpaper underfoot or under tires, causing micro-scratches over time. Sweeping your epoxy garage floor once or twice a week keeps it clean and reduces wear.

2. Mop with a pH-Neutral Cleaner

For deeper cleaning, mop your coated floor with a pH-neutral cleaner and warm water. Avoid harsh chemicals or acidic cleaners—they can dull the finish or break down the protective layer. At Elevated Coatings, we recommend gentle, non-abrasive cleaning products for the best results.

3. Wipe Up Spills Immediately

While epoxy flooring is stain-resistant, it’s still best to wipe up oil, gasoline, or chemical spills as soon as possible. This helps maintain your floor’s flawless appearance and keeps it safe for everyday use.

4. Protect from Heavy Impact

Your coated garage floor can handle cars, motorcycles, and tools, but dropping heavy objects directly on the surface can cause chips or dents. Consider using mats under workbenches or in high-impact areas for added protection.

5. Avoid Using Abrasive Tools

Skip steel wool, wire brushes, or overly stiff scrubbing pads when cleaning. These can leave scratches in your floor’s finish. Instead, use soft bristle brushes or microfiber mops for safe, effective cleaning.

6. Schedule Periodic Professional Inspections

A quick check-in with Elevated Coatings every few years can catch minor issues before they become major problems. We can also refresh your topcoat to keep your floor looking brand-new.
