If you live in Regina, you know the drill. One day it\u2019s a beautiful snowy wonderland, and the next, it\u2019s a slushy, muddy mess that seems determined to find its way into your garage or onto your shop floor. Between the road salt that hitches a ride on your tires and the oil drips from the weekend project, your floors take a beating. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly why so many of our neighbors are choosing GlossWorks polyaspartic flooring. It\u2019s tough, it looks incredible, and: best of all: it\u2019s designed to make your life easier. But even the most durable floor in the world needs a little love now and then to keep that "just installed" sparkle. <\/p>\n

At GR Flooring Inc<\/a>, we want you to enjoy your space without stressing over the mess. So, we\u2019ve put together this simple guide on how to keep your GlossWorks floor looking brand new, no matter what the Saskatchewan weather throws at it.<\/p>\n

The Secret is in the Surface<\/h2>\n

Before we dive into the "how-to," let\u2019s talk about why these floors are so easy to manage in the first place. When our team comes out for a GlossWorks installation, it isn\u2019t a rush job. We take about 2 to 3 days to ensure the professional install is done right. This process creates a thick, non-porous, and seamless surface. <\/p>\n

Unlike standard concrete, which is basically a giant sponge for oil and salt, a GlossWorks floor seals everything out. Because the surface is so smooth and dense, dirt and liquids have nowhere to hide. That professional foundation is what makes the following cleaning tips so effective.<\/p>\n

Daily and Weekly Upkeep: The Easy Stuff<\/h2>\n

You don't need a heavy-duty industrial scrubber to keep your floors clean. In fact, keeping it simple is usually the best way to go.<\/p>\n

1. Give it a Quick Sweep<\/h3>\n

The biggest enemy of any high-gloss floor is abrasive grit. Small pebbles, dried mud, and salt crystals can act like sandpaper over time if they\u2019re constantly being walked on or driven over. We recommend using a soft-bristle broom or a wide microfiber dust mop once or twice a week. It takes about five minutes, but it goes a long way in preserving that mirror-like finish.<\/p>\n

2. The Power of the Microfiber Mop<\/h3>\n

For a deeper clean, a damp microfiber mop is your best friend. Microfiber is great because it grabs onto the tiny particles that cotton mops often just push around. You don't need to soak the floor: a little moisture goes a long way. If you\u2019ve just got some light dust or footprints, plain warm water usually does the trick.<\/p>\n

Dealing with Regina\u2019s "Big Three": Salt, Slush, and Oil<\/h2>\n

Living in the Queen City means dealing with specific types of messes. Here is how to handle the heavy hitters without breaking a sweat.<\/p>\n

Road Salt and Brine<\/h3>\n

In the winter, white salt streaks are almost a permanent fixture on garage floors. The good news? GlossWorks floors are highly resistant to chemical salt damage. To clean it up, just use a mixture of warm water and a tiny bit of white vinegar. The vinegar helps break down the salt crystals so they don't leave a hazy film behind. Rinse with clean water afterward, and you\u2019re golden.<\/p>\n

Oil and Chemical Spills<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re working on your truck and a little oil hits the floor, don't panic. Because the polyaspartic coating is non-porous, the oil won't soak in and leave a permanent dark spot like it would on bare concrete. Simply wipe it up with a paper towel or a rag as soon as you notice it. If there\u2019s a greasy residue left, a quick spot-clean with a mild degreaser or dish soap will clear it right up.<\/p>\n

Slush and Mud<\/h3>\n

When the spring thaw hits, your garage can quickly turn into a pond. GlossWorks floors are waterproof, so the moisture won't hurt the coating. However, standing water can be a slip hazard. We recommend using a floor squeegee to push the excess water and mud out the door. It\u2019s much faster than mopping up gallons of slush!<\/p>\n

Choosing the Right Cleaning Products<\/h2>\n

One of the most common questions we get at GR Flooring Inc<\/a> is, "What soap should I use?" <\/p>\n

The golden rule is to use pH-neutral cleaners<\/strong>. You want to avoid anything too acidic or too alkaline. <\/p>\n
