Routine Cleaning
Sweep or dust-mop to remove grit that can scratch the gloss. Damp-mop with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Because the surface is seamless and non-porous, most dirt lifts easily without scrubbing.
Protecting the Gloss
The high-gloss finish is the value of a metallic floor, so protect it. Use soft pads under furniture, avoid dragging heavy objects, and use walk-off mats at entries to trap grit before it reaches the floor. Felt protectors on furniture legs prevent scratches.
What to Avoid
Avoid harsh chemicals, acidic cleaners, and abrasive scrubbing that can dull the finish. Don't use wax — a properly installed metallic floor doesn't need it and it can interfere with the finish. Clean spills promptly so nothing stains or etches the surface.
Keeping the Shine
If the gloss dulls over time, a professional can restore the finish. For routine upkeep, the right cleaners and protecting the surface from grit and scratches are what keep a metallic floor looking like new.
