The Ultimate Guide to Cleaning and Maintaining Your Commercial Flooring

At 4D Coatings, we specialize in durable, high-performance commercial flooring solutions, including MMA acrylic flooring, urethane cement, and high-performance epoxy. While these flooring systems are designed to withstand heavy use, proper cleaning and maintenance are essential to ensure their longevity, safety, and aesthetics. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best practices for maintaining each type of flooring. 

MMA Acrylic Flooring Maintenance: 

Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) flooring is known for its rapid curing time, chemical resistance, and durability. Here’s how to keep it in top condition: 

Daily Cleaning: 

• Sweep or dust mop to remove dirt and debris. 

• Use a neutral pH cleaner with a microfiber mop for general cleaning. 

Deep Cleaning: 

• Weekly or as needed, use an auto-scrubber with soft bristles and a neutral cleaner. 

• Avoid harsh chemicals like ammonia or high-alkaline cleaners, as they may damage the surface. 

Preventative Care: 

• Place mats at entrances to reduce dirt and moisture. 

• Promptly clean spills to prevent staining and slipping hazards. 

• Conduct periodic inspections for any signs of wear or damage. 

Urethane Cement Flooring Maintenance: 

Urethane cement is highly resistant to thermal shock, moisture, and chemicals, making it an ideal choice for industrial kitchens, breweries, and educational facilities. 

Daily Cleaning: 

• Sweep or vacuum to remove debris. 

• Damp mop with a pH-neutral cleaner to prevent residue buildup. 

Deep Cleaning: 

• Use a scrubber equipped with medium to soft bristles and a low-foaming detergent. 

• High-pressure washing may be used in areas with extreme buildup, but avoid excessive water exposure in non-drain areas. 

Preventative Care: 

• Use protective pads on heavy equipment to prevent indentations. 

• Address spills immediately to avoid chemical damage or stains. 

• Regularly inspect grout lines and expansion joints for potential repairs. 

High-Performance Epoxy Flooring Maintenance:

Epoxy flooring is a top choice for commercial and industrial spaces due to its strength, seamless finish, and chemical resistance. 

Daily Cleaning: 

• Dust mop or sweep regularly to prevent grit accumulation. 

• Mop with a mild detergent or a diluted ammonia solution. 

Deep Cleaning: 

• Use a soft-bristle scrubber or mop with a non-abrasive cleaner. 

• For heavy-duty cleaning, a diluted solution of ammonia (approximately 2-3 ounces per gallon of water) can be used. 

Preventative Care: 

• Avoid using acidic or citrus-based cleaners that can break down the epoxy finish. 

• Place rubber mats in high-traffic areas to reduce wear. 

• Inspect for cracks or wear and address them promptly with professional repair services.
