If the epoxy flooring is of the commercial based setting where there is lot of chances of spillage of chemicals and massive traffic then, you need to invest on weekly basis.

·         Choosing right cleaning equipment:

If your cleaning equipment is not good, then no matter how much effort you are putting on cleaning, it will not be good enough. As there are so many mops out there in market, but you should choose the one that comfortably fits on your hand and doesn’t need streak on the floor surface. A cleaning solution should be chosen that doesn’t leave behind the solution on the epoxy flooring.

A self-wringing mop so highly preferred because, when the time of rinsing of mop came then the process become smooth and easy. Moreover, you can use a microfiber mop as well that will cover most of the floor without leaving behind any mark.
