Now that your concrete is installed, you’ll want to properly care for it. Follow there simple guidelines to keep your concrete looking beautiful for years to come:
- Clean up spills as soon as possible and avoid trapping water under other surfaces such as soap containers, flower pots, wet rags, etc. Trapped water with no way to evaporate can eventually work its way into the concrete and can cause discoloration of the concrete and/or sealer.
- Avoid dragging sharp or hard objects across the concrete surface to prevent scratching. Minor white scratches should be expected throughout the piece from use over time. Applying Granite Gold Polish every now and then can fill in minor scratches and give your pieces a nice sheen. This is available at many home improvement stores(Home Depot, Lowe’s) as well as online(Amazon)
- Acidic items such as lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, wine, soda, tomatoes, etc, perfumes, colognes, cleaners that contain vinegar or citric acids, and other harsh chemicals or solvents such as ammonia, acetone, hydrogen peroxide, etc. should be cleaned off you concrete surface as soon as possible. These substances may “eat” through the sealer leaving a light hazing, and could possible expose or stain your concrete.
- Avoid abrasive soaps, cleaners, or scrubbing pads that can wear down the sealer, Only use mild, non-abrasive, non-ammonia, non-acidic, non-vinegar, non-bleach soaps and cleaners. We recommend Simple Green Natural Stone Cleaner.
- Please use standard care a precautions with your concrete products. Concrete is extremely durable, however its not invincible. Excessive force or lack of care can do damage to your piece.
