After installing your floor coating, it's crucial to allow a minimum of 6-8 hours before walking on it, depending on the humidity levels in your area. Ideally, waiting until the next morning is recommended for the best results. Similarly, you may drive on the floor 24 hours after installation is complete, but again, this depends on humidity levels. It's advisable to wait at least 36-48 hours for the ideal amount of cure time before driving on it.
​
Using a squeegee is a great way to remove water from your floor coating, as it is resistant to water. Additionally, during the winter months, make sure to sweep debris and salt from the floor regularly. Rinse with water from a standard garden hose and use a sponge mop for any light cleaning that may be needed.
​
When cleaning your floor coating, avoid using a power washer, as this may damage or remove the top coat finish—something that is not covered under warranty. Instead, opt for cleaners like Simple Green, Pine-Sol, CLR, Dawn, or Mineral Spirits. Avoid long-term exposure to bleach, and do not use acids or highly corrosive materials such as ammonia.
​
For tougher cleaning tasks, let the cleaner sit on the floor for 5-10 minutes before scrubbing with a deck brush or stiff bristle broom, followed by a rinse for a revitalized floor. Regular cleaning using these processes will help prevent staining and discoloration of your floor coating. It's essential to note that any staining that occurs due to improper care may not be covered under warranty.
