Checkmate Coatings Care & Maintenance Guide

Maintenance & Care

Thank you for trusting Checkmate Coatings with your floor coating project. Following these guidelines will help maximize appearance, longevity, and performance.

  • Light foot traffic: 24–36 hours
  • Full vehicle traffic: 48 hours minimum
  • Avoid dragging heavy items during cure period
  • Keep garage doors cracked overnight after installation if instructed by your installer
  • Sweep or blow debris regularly
  • Use a bristle push broom or brush
  • Clean spills promptly
  • Use pH-neutral cleaners whenever possible
  • For tougher cleaning, use mild soap and warm water

Recommended:

  • Bristle broom
  • pH-neutral cleaners
  • Automotive fluids should be cleaned promptly

Avoid:

  • Dragging heavy metal equipment across the floor
  • Leaving jack stands, sharp metal objects, or heavy point loads in one spot for extended periods
  • Harsh degreasers without rinsing

Recommended:

  • Rinse regularly to remove dirt and debris
  • Pressure washing is acceptable using low pressure and proper distance
  • Remove standing organic debris and leaves periodically

Avoid:

  • Metal snow shovels or scraping tools
  • Harsh chemicals left standing on the coating
  • Excessive pressure washing too close to the surface
  • Maintain at least 12–18 inches from the surface
  • Avoid concentrated pressure in one spot
  • Use fan tips rather than pinpoint nozzles
  • Avoid extremely high PSI directly against edges or joints

Immediately rinse:

  • Fertilizers
  • Pool chemicals
  • Battery acid
  • Solvents
  • Oil and automotive fluids

Prolonged exposure may discolor or damage coatings.

Concrete can naturally move over time.

Please note:

    • Concrete movement is not always preventable

Recommended:

    • Use furniture pads when possible
    • Lift heavy items instead of dragging
    • Use caution with sharp edges or metal feet
