Concrete flooring is generally easy to maintain because its durability and flat surfacing. Maintaining concrete flooring in warehouses come with a few advantages when it comes to cleaning and maintenance, because:

  • There are no joints, grout lines or areas where dirt could end up trapped
  • It’s resilient to water, stains and abrasion (when properly sealed)
  • Pet and child-proof
  • Easily maintained and cleaned
  • Only have to renew sealer every few years

There are some maintenance tips to remember to help keep concrete flooring in warehouses in shape. These are:

  • Using floor mats and rugs in high traffic areas to help reduce the need for maintenance
  • Spills must be cleaned quickly and efficiently to ensure they don’t absorb into the concrete
  • Use microfiber cleaning tools when dry or damp mopping
  • Cleaning Stained Concrete in Warehouses

If your warehouse has stained concrete, it’s likely it will require more maintenance. However, cleaning it is generally very simple:

  • Dry or damp mop regularly to ensure the concrete isn’t affected by dirt, grime and abrasion.
  • Use a pH-neutral cleaner and water for deeper cleaning (occasional).
  • And protect concrete flooring in warehouses with a strong film-forming sealer and wax.

You can follow the same maintenance routine when cleaning stained floors in commercial properties. Although, you may need to wax more often and clean regularly because these properties see more foot traffic.

Polished concrete in warehouses is generally very easy to maintain because they don’t require sealers or wax. This makes them a very strong concrete floor option for warehouses. Simply:
