Caring for Your Epoxy Floors in San Diego’s Salt Air

Salt air is quiet. It doesn’t blow in like a storm. It just hangs there—settling on cars, creeping into cracks, and slowly eating away at anything unprotected.
That includes your garage floor.
The good news is, epoxy holds up. That’s one of the reasons people in San Diego choose it.
But like anything built to last, it still needs care.
The first step is simple: keep it clean. Dust and salt mix into a fine grit that acts like sandpaper. If you let it sit, it dulls the surface over time. A soft broom or dust mop once a week is enough to stay ahead.
Wash with the right stuff. You don’t need harsh chemicals. In fact, avoid them. Just warm water and a small amount of ammonia or pH-neutral cleaner will do. Rinse well and let it dry.
If you live close to the coast, salt buildup can sneak in with your tires or shoes. Don’t wait until you see white streaks. Treat it like you would your windows or outdoor furniture—regular, light cleaning keeps it looking new.
Watch the corners and edges. That’s where moisture tends to collect. Make sure nothing stays wet for long—drip trays under vehicles help too.
Epoxy doesn’t ask for much. But if you give it just a little care, it’ll stay strong, even in salty air.
