How Should I Maintain My New Concrete Or Epoxy Floors?

Wondering how to maintain that showroom shine on your newly installed concrete or epoxy floors? The answer might be simpler than you think.

In this practical, advice-packed episode, Ed Rivas reveals the surprisingly straightforward maintenance secrets that will keep your surfaces looking flawless for decades. For newly poured concrete in hot climates, Ed explains the critical "homework" most homeowners miss: watering the concrete 3-5 times daily during the first 8-10 days. This simple step prevents the differential drying that leads to those frustrating hairline cracks by ensuring even moisture distribution throughout the curing process.

When it comes to epoxy floors, Ed debunks the myth that special cleaners are necessary. After allowing 48 hours for full curing, maintenance becomes remarkably simple – just water and a soft brush is typically all you need. He cautions against power washing (even though the surfaces are highly durable) and explains why ammonia-based cleaners should be avoided. For those concerned about humidity and moisture issues, Ed shares professional insights about vapor barriers and explains why new concrete must cure for at least 28 days before epoxy application.

The beauty of professional concrete and epoxy work lies not just in its immediate visual impact but in its lasting durability with minimal maintenance requirements. That's why Ed confidently offers a 20-year warranty on his garage floors. Whether you're installing new concrete, considering an epoxy coating, or simply want to protect your investment, this episode delivers practical, no-nonsense advice from a seasoned professional with decades of experience.
