Flake epoxy flooring is one of the most durable and attractive solutions for Kansas City businesses, offering unmatched strength, chemical resistance, and visual appeal. From showrooms to warehouses, epoxy floors endure heavy foot traffic, machinery, and spills every day. But to preserve their shine and performance for years, proper maintenance is key.
At High Stakes Epoxy LLC, we’ve installed hundreds of flake epoxy floors across Kansas City, Belton, Raymore, and Lee’s Summit, and we know exactly how to keep them looking pristine.
1. Regular Cleaning Keeps Your Floors Gleaming
Dust, grit, and debris can act like sandpaper on your floor’s surface if ignored.
Daily sweeping or dust mopping with a microfiber pad helps prevent scratching and dulling. For deeper cleaning:
- Use a pH-neutral cleaner diluted with warm water.
- Mop with a soft microfiber or auto-scrubber—avoid harsh bristles.
- Never use acid-based or ammonia cleaners; they can damage the epoxy finish.
💡 Pro Tip: Schedule weekly cleaning for retail or food-service spaces, and daily maintenance for manufacturing or automotive facilities.
2. Prevent Damage from Heavy Equipment
Epoxy floors are strong—but not indestructible. Protect high-traffic areas with rubber mats or vinyl padding beneath heavy machinery, carts, or forklifts. When moving large items, use soft wheels or sliders to prevent gouging the surface.
This simple precaution can extend the life of your commercial flake epoxy floors by years.
3. Spot Clean Spills Immediately
One reason Kansas City businesses love flake epoxy is its non-porous surface—spills don’t penetrate. Still, quick cleanup is essential to prevent staining or chemical corrosion.
- Wipe oil, coolant, or solvent spills promptly.
- Use absorbent pads or rags rather than paper towels to avoid streaks.
- Rinse and dry thoroughly to maintain that glossy finish.
4. Schedule Periodic Deep Cleaning
Depending on your industry and foot traffic, schedule a professional deep clean every 6–12 months. High Stakes Epoxy LLC offers maintenance packages for commercial epoxy floors in Kansas City and surrounding areas, including:
- High-pressure surface washing
- Gentle scrubbing with epoxy-safe detergents
- Topcoat inspection and touch-up recoating if needed
Routine professional maintenance not only keeps your space spotless—it also protects your investment from wear and UV fading.
5. Reapply a Protective Topcoat When Needed
Even the toughest epoxy floors experience gradual wear from foot traffic and vehicle movement. A recoating every 3–5 years restores the protective layer and renews the shine. Our team inspects the existing coating for any dull areas, chips, or peeling, then applies a seamless new topcoat.
This service is ideal for auto shops, warehouses, retail stores, and commercial kitchens throughout the Kansas City area.
6. Keep Temperature and Humidity in Check
Kansas City weather can be unpredictable—extreme humidity and temperature changes can affect epoxy performance over time. Keep your facility’s interior climate stable to minimize expansion and contraction, which can lead to minor cracking.
Investing in a climate-controlled environment is especially important for showrooms and laboratories where aesthetics and precision matter.
