How To Care For & Clean Your Flake Flooring

Flake flooring is a stylish and versatile choice that is becoming increasingly popular in Australia due to its durability and low maintenance. Compared to other floor options, caring for your flake flooring is relatively straightforward, and the surface can be quickly brushed or mopped to get rid of any dust or debris.

Though flake flooring doesn't need waxing or polishing, it's a good idea to know how to tackle spills and stains and to give it an annual deep clean with water.

Because of flake flooring's durability, it is often chosen for spaces with a lot of foot traffic, heavy machinery or water, so it’s important you keep it in the best condition possible.

If your flake flooring is in a commercial or industrial property, it is an incredibly easy to clean choice, ideal for gyms, workshops and leisure centres. It has natural antibacterial properties too, so it's perfect for ensuring a hygienic and safe environment where there is a lot of activity.

It’s important to deep clean your flake floor at least once every year, and more so if it is used regularly. If you notice any fogginess in your epoxy floor, a thorough clean will have it looking as good as new. Make sure the floor has been thoroughly brushed or vacuumed to remove any surface dirt.

Then you will need to use a hose to spray the entire floor with water and then dry it using a squeegee. If you notice any patches on your floor you can also complete a quick spot clean with a soft cloth that has been dipped into hot water.

Though flake flooring is incredibly hardwearing, it is important to address any spills of grease with a biodegradable solvent and allow the cleaning product to remain for a little longer before you rinse it thoroughly with cold water.

You should also deal with any spilling of dairy products quickly as they could cause staining. If your flake flooring has been damaged by tyre marks, scrub the marks thoroughly with a stiff bristle brush and biodegradable solvent.

High-quality flake flooring doesn’t need regular waxing or polishing, which means it's a great low maintenance flooring option that retains its appeal. Designed to last for many years, caring properly for your flake flooring can increase its lifespan too.

If there is a lot of buildup or residue on your flake floor, daily sweeping after the day’s work will prevent damage that could be caused by abrasive particles.
