How to Maintain Concrete Floor Coating for Years of Use
Know Your Coating System
Not all concrete coatings are maintained the same way. At ACES 24 Hour Floors, we install three high-performance systems, each with its own care needs:
- Penntek Polyurea / Polyaspartic Coatings
These coatings are UV stable, chemical resistant, slip resistant, and up to four times stronger than epoxy. While they are low maintenance, regular care still matters. - RetroPlate Polished Concrete
This system uses a chemical densifier and mechanical polish to create a glossy, easy-to-clean surface. It’s best maintained by keeping it free of grit and debris. - Ashford Formula Densifier / Sealer
Designed for industrial use, this system is nearly maintenance-free. It benefits from occasional deep cleaning to preserve surface quality.
Knowing which system you have will help guide your maintenance routine. If you’re not sure, contact us for a quick walkthrough.
Daily and Weekly Floor Maintenance Tips
To keep your concrete floor coating in peak condition:
- Sweep or dust mop daily
Dirt and grit can act like sandpaper and dull your finish. - Use a soft mop with a neutral pH cleaner
Avoid acidic or abrasive products. Stick with what’s safe for coated concrete. - Wipe up spills promptly
This includes oil, brake fluid, and chemicals. Prolonged exposure can discolor the surface. - In garages: Remove moisture tracked in by tires, especially salt or de-icers during winter months.
Deep Cleaning and Seasonal Maintenance
Set a recurring schedule for these tasks:
- Power wash outdoor surfaces
Great for patios and pool decks. Use low to medium pressure and avoid spraying directly at edges. - Auto-scrub or brush interior floors
A soft-bristle brush or auto-scrubber lifts grime without harming the surface. - Inspect for minor damage
Look for peeling, surface chips, or cracks. Early fixes prevent major issues. - Reapply protective sealants
Some systems benefit from a topcoat every few years. Contact us if you’re unsure.

Prevent Floor Damage Before It Starts
Small habits make a big difference:
- Use entry mats or rugs to catch dirt and moisture
- Add furniture pads under heavy items
- Avoid dragging equipment across the floor
- Minimize UV exposure indoors with blinds or awnings
Pro Tip: A little routine care now can save thousands in future concrete floor restoration.
