Sweep
Sweeping is the first step of polyurea floor maintenance. It is also the easiest part of the process. Sweep away any dust, insects, and other debris that may be on your floor.
Don’t forget to get behind boxes and pieces of furniture too. A lot of dust piles up in these small areas. The corners and edges are also places that hold onto dust and debris.
Sweeping will make the rest of the cleaning process easier. Sweeping regularly can prevent your floor from getting too dirty. This would prevent the need for any deep cleaning.
Clean the Spots
You can start cleaning up the spots on your floor after you’re done sweeping. Polyurea is resistant to stains, but spots might solidify on the surface of the coating. You might have spilled food or drinks on the floor without knowing it.
Or, your car may have left liquid on the floor. Get a wet rag and wipe away whatever spots you see. You shouldn’t need any special cleaning chemicals for this.
Make sure that the rag is soaked with warm water. Soap may be helpful too. Scrubbing the rag against the floor should release whatever is stuck to it.
Use a Mop
If your floor is very messy, it might not be convenient to use a small rag. It would instead be more efficient to use a mop or similar tool. You can also use a cleaning product, but only if you’re careful.
There are special cleaning products designed to clean polyurea floors. Any ordinary cleaning product might chemically damage the polyurea. But cleaning chemicals are only necessary if you need to give your floor a deep clean.
This is not often necessary since polyurea is resistant to most things. You can get a good result by soaking the mop in water and soap. A mop is a good tool because it can cover a lot of ground without much effort.
It is also good for picking up small pieces of debris that your broom missed. You can add some ammonia to the warm, soapy water for a deeper clean. The ammonia will clean the polyurea without damaging it.
It can also purge your floor of any bacteria. This will ensure that your polyurea floor is squeaky clean. You can also get your garden hose and hose the floor down if you don’t have anything else.
A power washer can work too.
