General Cleaning Tips for Epoxy Flooring
One of the many benefits of professionally applied epoxy concrete flooring is how simple it is to keep it looking its best. Here are some recommended routines for several types of epoxy flooring.

Polished Concrete Maintenance
Polishing concrete adds shine and gloss to your floor surface, creating a luxurious look while protecting it at the same time. Here is how to keep your polished concrete looking its best:
- Daily: Dry mop the surface with dust mop as needed.
