TIPS ON HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR CONCRETE
Admin • Oct 13, 2016
Any type of flooring you choose will require some type of maintenance. Even concrete floors
need to be cared for properly to keep them looking their best. So how exactly do you maintain your decorative concrete? This will depend on how much traffic the area receives. Residential concrete floors generally need proper cleaning to make them last. Below are some care and cleaning tips to follow.
WAX AND SEALER
If your concrete is not polished, it is a good idea to use a floor sealer. This helps the concrete to last and enhances the appearance. Additionally, floor wax can be used to protect the concrete against abrasions and stains. Wax helps to preserve the sealer as well, and it is easy to apply.
FLOOR MATS
Heavier traffic areas can become worn quicker, so it is a good idea to use floor mats. They reduce wear and tear to the floor and cut down on maintenance.
DAMP MOPPING
When it comes to keeping dirt and dust at a minimum, damp mopping does the trick. Remember to sweep first to pick up larger debris and crumbs. It is important to stick to using cleaning solutions recommended for concrete. Microfiber pads work well, and ensure you use clean water. Additionally, clean up spills and stains as soon as possible, as they can be absorbed by the concrete. To learn more about concrete floor care, call Carolina Concrete Designs, Inc.
