Opted for some concrete wonderfulness? Let’s help you with how to make the most out of your concrete flooring and extend its lifespan.
Even if your concrete floor is sealed or polished, regular cleaning is important. Small particles of dust, sand and other debris can ruin the finish over time. This can lead to loss of the smoothness and shine of the concrete floor.
To clean your concrete floor, all you need is a mop made of soft microfiber cloth. If you choose to clean with a cleaner instead of water, select a pH neutral formula. Once in a while, your floor may need expert help. This will require assistance of experienced polishers to bring your concrete floor back to top-notch condition. They will have the experience required to smooth any scratches on your floor and make it look polished again.
Remember to never apply wax to a Concrete Floor. Wax will build up over time and need to be removed by professionals. Even then, it is likely to leave behind a dull finish on your floor. Other things to avoid are degreasers and adhesives. These items are abrasive and can discolour the finish of your floor. Using acid based cleaners can lead to loss of gloss in the finish as well. This is why cleaners that are labelled pH balanced are important.
When your floor is initially installed, avoid water contact for the first three days. The sealers will have time to properly settle down. In short, polished concrete flooring is the easiest to look after. They also provide a sleek and aesthetic look to your house. It also has the ability to absorb heat, hence cutting down on your electricity bills. With proper care, concrete flooring can maintain its polished look for years.
