Not only are polished concrete floors beautiful, but they are also easy to maintain. A few simple steps can help keep your polished concrete floors sparkling for many years or even decades to come!
Why are Xtreme’s concrete polished floors so strong?
Xtreme Engineered Floor Systems uses a special process to first grind and then polish your concrete floors. The process includes going through different grits of diamonds to work up to the final shine, the use of densifiers to harden the concrete, and a guard for the top.
The result of this process is a polished concrete floor that is so strong that there is no need for surface coatings such as epoxy, MMA, polyurethane, or polyaspartic. These polished floors will have increased abrasion and impact resistance. They will be gorgeous and low maintenance for a long time to come. However, some maintenance can increase protection for your floors.
The Maintenance
The first thing to know about Xtreme’s polished concrete floor maintenance is that the polish completely eliminates the need to apply a coat of wax once every month or two. The polish will maintain the floor’s clean and bright look by itself!
However, occasionally, things may get spilled on the floor, or other things may happen to it. In these cases, you can easily mop the floor with clean water, or machine scrub it. It will keep its shine even after years and years of machine scrubbing and mopping.
You can also rest assured because our polished concrete floors meet both the ADA and OSHA standards for slip resistance. This makes our floors very safe.
If your floor is in a very high traffic area, then you can dust mop the floor with a microfiber pad as needed. Doing this can help to remove particles such as soil on the floor that could eventually lead to abrasion over time.
You can also use a floor cleaner periodically. If you are going to use a floor cleaner, it is best to use high quality ones that have a neutral ph such as our Xtreme Clean. The reason is because if the floor cleaner’s ph is too acidic, or alkaline, it can be bad for the floor.
Conclusion
Xtreme Engineered Floor Systems’ polished concrete floors are very durable and are meant to last long into the future. However, providing some maintenance to these floors can help to keep them in tip top shape for even longer. Dust mopping high traffic areas, cleaning stains, and machine scrubbing can all go a long way toward making sure your floor stays perfect for decades!
