Recommendations for floor care
Here are some recommendations for proper care and maintenance of concrete floors
Regular Cleaning
Sweep and vacuum the floor regularly to remove dirt, debris, and other loose particles. This will prevent small scratches and damage from occurring.
Damp Mopping
Use a damp mop and a mild cleaning solution for periodic wet cleaning. This will help remove ingrained dirt and stains. Be sure to dry the floor thoroughly after damp mopping to prevent standing water.
Use Floor Mats
Place floor mats in high-traffic areas to reduce the amount of dirt and sand tracked onto the floor.
Prevent Scratches
Use felt pads under furniture legs to prevent scratches and dents from forming on the concrete floor.
Apply Sealer/Impregnator
Apply a concrete sealer or impregnator every couple of years. This will protect the surface from stains, wear, and discoloration.
By following these recommendations, you can maintain the concrete floor in good condition and extend its lifespan.

What destroys concrete?
Here are the main substances and factors that can cause deterioration and damage to concrete:
1. Acids
Acids such as hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, and others react with the components of concrete, breaking down its structure. Even weak acids can cause significant damage over time.
2. Alkalis
Strong alkalis, such as sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), can also etch and soften concrete.
3. Salts
Salts like chlorides and sulfates can cause corrosion of reinforcing steel in reinforced concrete, leading to cracking and spalling of the concrete.
4. Carbon Dioxide
Carbon dioxide from the air can react with calcium hydroxide in concrete, reducing its strength and causing carbonation.
5. Water
Excessive moisture and freeze-thaw cycles can lead to cracking, scaling, and spalling of concrete.
6. High Temperatures
Exposure to high temperatures, such as in a fire, can cause loss of strength and disintegration of concrete.
7. Mechanical Loads
Excessive mechanical loads, impacts, or vibrations can result in cracking and failure of concrete structures.
To protect concrete from these deteriorating agents, specialized admixtures, coatings, and proper concrete mix design based on the exposure conditions are used. Timely inspection and repair also help prevent the deterioration of concrete structures.
