Easy Concrete Polished Cleaning Tips

By Mikkan Drane

Concrete polished floor had become quite the popular alternative against the rest of its floor type competition mostly because of how easy it is to maintain it. Usually, a polished concrete floor only requires mop damping, washing and nothing more. Unless of course necessary which could also be because of so many reasons.

Having the natural look on your floor could make seeing the dirt a bit harder thus cleaning it is often forgotten or taken for granted. With the colored stained floor however, dirt and grime is a lot more obvious making cleaning a must once dirt starts building up.

The color of the concrete polished floor should not be the basis of whether to clean it or not. When the floor both colored or gray, starts having dirt and grime build up, must be cleaned at once. This will help in guaranteeing the longevity of the floor's life.

Before the heavy cleaning though, what should be considered is the left over residue of the Epoxy used as sealant. This can easily be cleaned through the use of a blow torch. The black markings that could possibly be left during the burning can be removed by bleaching the burnt area.

After that, you can now choose whether to use the traditional option of mixing water with parts of hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid for cleaning. What you should use depends on what type of material it is that was used to make the concrete polishing and where it is located. As for other types of dirt, you can always go back with water and bleach again.

Steam cleaning is also an option to consider when cleaning your concrete polished floor. It is actually one of the safest means of maintenance that can prevent having unwanted damages on the floor due to inappropriate cleaning materials. This is often preferred when cleaning away coffee, pop, or other beverage stains on your polished concrete floor.

Most of the time we worry when oil and grease cleaning trouble face us. They always seem the hardest to remove especially on concrete polished floor. Actually, the solution to this problem is simple. Simply put on the thick layer of stain some sawdust or kitty litter then leave it to dry for a day to do. Then sweep it off, and cover the stain with dry cement mix again and the concrete polished floor will be good as new.

As for the rest of the dirt demands that needs cleaning, you may depend on the traditional cleaning style if it could easily be removed. Add in the regular maintenance required for the benefit of the floor, and that's all. You will be guaranteed your floor will be able to service you for a very long time because of the way you are taking care of it, no questions asked. - 20607
