Simple Maintenance Tips to Keep Your Floor Looking New

A Penntek® concrete coating is designed to be durable, stylish, and long-lasting, but like any investment in your home, proper care helps it perform at its best for years to come.

At 1 Day Concrete Coatings, we install Penntek floors with longevity in mind, and we also make sure our customers know exactly how to maintain them. The good news? Caring for your Penntek floor is simple and low-maintenance.

Routine Cleaning: Keep It Simple

For everyday upkeep, less is more.

What to do:

• Sweep or dust mop regularly to remove dirt and debris
  
• Use a soft broom or microfiber mop
  
• Clean spills promptly to avoid residue buildup
  
  

Loose grit can act like sandpaper over time, so regular sweeping helps preserve the finish and shine.

Deeper Cleaning: Occasional, Not Complicated

When your floor needs more than a quick sweep, a gentle wash will do the trick.

Best practices:

• Mix warm water with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
  
• Mop using a soft mop or cloth
  
• Rinse with clean water if needed and allow to air dry
  
  

Avoid:

• Harsh chemicals
  
• Acidic or citrus-based cleaners
  
• Abrasive scrub pads or stiff brushes
  
  

These products can dull the surface and shorten the life of the coating.

Handling Spills & Stains

Penntek floors are resistant to stains, but it’s still best to clean spills as soon as possible, especially substances like oil, grease, or chemicals.

If a spill happens:

• Wipe it up with a soft cloth or paper towel
  
• Clean the area with mild soap and water
  
• Dry the surface to prevent streaking
  
  

Prompt cleanup keeps the floor looking fresh and prevents slippery spots.

Protecting Your Floor from Heavy Wear

Penntek floors are built to handle traffic, vehicles, and daily use, but a few precautions go a long way.

Helpful tips:

• Use felt pads under furniture or equipment
  
• Avoid dragging heavy items across the surface
  
• Place mats under motorcycle kickstands or sharp-edged items
  
• Use entry mats in garages or workshops to reduce grit
  
  

These small steps help prevent unnecessary scratches and wear.

Seasonal Care Tips

Changes in weather can affect how dirt and moisture interact with your floor.

• During rainy or snowy seasons:
  Mop more frequently to remove moisture and tracked-in debris
  
  
• In dusty or windy conditions:
  Increase sweeping to keep grit from building up
  
  

A little seasonal adjustment keeps your floor looking consistent year-round.

What NOT to Use on Your Penntek Floor

To protect your investment, avoid:

• Vinegar or acidic cleaners
  
• Bleach or ammonia
  
• Soap-based cleaners that leave residue
  
• Steam cleaners
