The challenges of keeping auto-shop flooring clean can become overwhelming for owners, mechanics, and custodians. After all, anti-freeze, coolants, engine oils, transmission and brake fluids are just a few of the fluids that land on auto-shop floors every day. And as mechanics work on one car after another, every little drip, leak, and spill combines to create a colossal mess by the end of the day.
To make matters worse, when these chemicals and fluids meant to lubricate and protect your automobile’s engine fall on the wrong type of flooring, they can be absorbed making their removal even more difficult. As this happens, little by little, as auto-shop flooring begins to deteriorate. No wonder so many auto shops just give up when it comes to having a clean floor!
Just like roadways need to be resurfaced regularly due to the salt used to melt snow and ice,
auto-shop floors that have been compromised by absorbing automotive fluids will need to be replaced regularly. So, what’s an auto-shop owner to do? The answer is simple.
