Epoxy flooring is known for its durability, sleek finish, and resistance to wear but like any surface, it performs best with a little care. If you’re living or working in Northern Ontario, your epoxy floor faces some unique seasonal challenges; from road salt in winter to dirt and moisture in spring and summer. Here’s how to keep it looking and performing its best all year long.

---

Winter: Beat the Salt & Snow

• Sweep or squeegee often to remove salt crystals, sand, and slush before they etch the surface.

• Use a neutral pH cleaner for regular mopping, avoid harsh chemicals like bleach.

• Place rubber mats at entrances to catch salt and snow before it hits the floor.

---

Spring: Handle the Melt & Mud

• As the thaw begins, focus on removing fine grit and moisture tracked in.

• Give your floor a deep clean to remove any salt residue left from winter.

• Inspect for early signs of wear or separation, especially near doors or drains.

---

Summer: Light Cleaning, High Use

• With more traffic (and possibly projects in the garage), clean spills quickly.

• Avoid dragging heavy equipment; use mats or rollers under machines..

---

Fall: Prep for the Season Ahead

• Sweep often to remove leaves, dirt, and organic debris before it stains or builds up.

• Do a thorough inspection before winter hits: look for cracks, chips, or wear spots.

• If needed, book a professional touch-up or topcoat application before freeze-up.

Bonus Maintenance Tips:

• Use only soft-bristle brooms or microfiber mops.
