WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Aftercare and Maintenance are the keys to keeping your Metallic Epoxy Bathrooms brand new even after a prolonged period. There’s nothing special about keeping it strong and happy.
Metallic Epoxy Bathrooms are known to be a “Wonder Material” by being one of the toughest & durable in the market. It resists chemical attacks, shrugs off high impacts, and is highly heat-resistant. Its stain-proofing and bacteria/mold resistance are legendary, and it’s entirely waterproof.
Yet, as much as we wish otherwise, nothing is perfect. The resilient protective layer might degrade in the case of being subject to inordinately high amounts of damage. Here are a few recommended Metallic Epoxy Bathroom aftercare tips to prolong its life.

RECOMMENDED TIPS
Cleaning Methods (Bathroom Floors)
You can do daily or weekly cleaning by flushing the surface with clean water. A floor squeegee would be highly recommended during this process to push excess water into the drainage, allowing for easy clean-up. For areas finished with ANTI-SLIP ONLY, you may employ soft to medium bristles to remove remnants of shampoo, etc.
Any household cleaning agent can be used for hygiene purposes. Floor squeegees would be essential in preventing water build-up, especially in your shower areas.
-
Stain Removal Methods (Bathroom Floors)
Should you encounter stains. You may use standard detergents available on the market that are recommended for stain removal, such as Magic Clean, Jiff, CIF cleaner, etc. In a scenario of stubborn stains, you may use more potent agents such as 91% or 99% rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, turpentine, or even thinner.
For gloss surfaces, rub it with a clean microfiber cloth and the agents above till the offending substance come off. Soft and medium bristles are recommended for anti-slip surfaces.
-
Cleaning Methods (Bathroom Walls)
You can simply do this anytime with a clean wet cloth. Microfiber cloths would be highly recommended for this process. After the initial damp wipe down, using another clean & dry microfiber cloth would be essential in preventing water spots.
Any household cleaning agent can be used for hygiene purposes. As much as you can, keep bathrooms ventilated and dry.

THINGS TO AVOID
-
Avoid Scrubbing with Abrasive Materials
Firstly, never use an abrasive scrub like a Scotch-Brite pad, nylon scouring pads, or related cleaning products, as they can scratch your beloved surfaces. This avoidance is mainly applicable to our gloss finish.
The abrasive action will wear through the topcoat over time and expose the epoxy surface below, causing it to lose a vital layer of protection.
However, soft to medium scrubbing bristles are perfectly fine for our matte and matte anti-slip surfaces as they are built for heavier scratch resistance.
-
Avoid Any Damages
Secondly, this list involves Metallic Epoxy Bathroom’s impact absorption and scratch resistance. Its virtues in these two areas are far more pronounced than most other materials.
However, we should reiterate its lack of invincibility. Repeated damage from sharp and heavy objects directly on the surface will damage it.
Though easily repaired, totally avoiding intentional or unintentional damages would still be highly recommended. No one should ever have their beloved bathrooms tarnished.
-
Avoid Over Exposing To Constant High Heat
Next, Metallic Epoxy’s heat resistance is graded to 200°C. This property means it can take boiling hot water, sauna’s, hot showers, and then some, with minimal effect. Nevertheless, do not constantly overexpose your bathrooms to temperatures close to or above the recommended figure.
It is not recommended to expose your bathroom to high temperatures. Surfaces will be damaged over time if it is exposed to high temperature for a period of time.
Do note that it is heat resistant and not flame or fire-resistant. Keep the flame-throwing to a bare minimum around the surface. Or anywhere else, for that matter.
-
Avoid Using Heavy Industrial Chemicals
Lastly, avoid using heavy industrial chemicals in your Metallic Epoxy Bathrooms. It would be best if you were not cleaning your interiors with any heavy industrial chemicals in your home or office, for that matter.
Frequent exposure to such chemicals will eventually cause damage to the topcoat. Avoid ammonia or any acids like vinegar as they would erode the surface, especially if used repeatedly.
Highly concentrated industrial chemicals should also not be allowed to remain on the surface. However, should you encounter such a scenario, clean it off promptly with a clean damp cloth.
