Proper care of microcement is key to maintaining its great appearance and durability over many years. Here are some practical tips to help keep your microcement in great shape:
  • Protecting objects: Avoid placing heavy objects directly on the surface of the microcement. It's a good idea to use felt furniture pads to distribute weight evenly and protect against dents.
  • Quick stain removal: If you spill liquids, such as oil, wine, coffee or beet juice, remove stains immediately to avoid permanent discoloration. Use our product, Power-FEST for tough stains.
  • Regular vacuuming: Regular dry vacuuming of the microcement will help maintain its aesthetic appearance and prevent the accumulation of dust and dirt.
  • Specialized agents: Dedicated products for cleaning and protecting microcement that do not damage the surface are the best way to prolong the life of this material. Formulations such as FESTCleaner or FESTCalc will help keep microcement clean and fresh.
  • Additional protection: To protect the microcement from moisture and mechanical damage, consider using a wax-based impregnator, such as FF Wax (wax for maintenance of painted surfaces). Such a product will form a waterproof coating, providing additional protection. This coating is hard and abrasion resistant. We especially recommend it for rooms such as hallways. For those who are looking for additional protection for heavily used floors, we recommend using FF FIX PRO. This is a high-quality maintenance product for microcement surfaces that protects them from damage, restoring their natural appearance and durability. To increase the level of safety on microcement floors, we recommend the application of FF ANTI-SLIP. This is a concentrated anti-slip solution that minimizes the risk of unpleasant accidents on slippery surfaces.
  • Surface renewal: If there are delicate scratches on the floor, you can refresh it by using FF Wax for microcement. If, on the other hand, due to very heavy use or improper maintenance, the floor is very damaged or discoloration has occurred, you can easily renew it. All you need to do is lightly sand off the top layer of varnish and apply new sealer.
Taking care of microcement is a guarantee of its longevity and aesthetic appearance. Following the above tips will allow you to enjoy its durability for many years.

Cleaning and maintenance of microcement floors

In order for a microcement floor to maintain its aesthetic appearance and durability for many years, it is essential to use proper cleaning and maintenance methods. Regular and proper maintenance measures avoid many problems, such as stains and scratches.
Daily dust removal with a soft brush or mop is recommended, as well as cyclic cleaning with special agents designed for microcement that do not contain aggressive chemicals, such as FestCleaner. It is important to avoid agents containing waxes or silicones, which can form undesirable layers on the surface.
For tougher stains, use dedicated formulations, such as Power-FEST or FESTCalc. If you opt for other cleaning products, remember to always test the performance of a new cleaner on a barely visible part of the floor before applying it to a larger area.
Specialized tip sheets are also available that explain step-by-step how to care for microcement so it will last for many years. See our video on how to care for microcement.
