Cleaning up my Racedeck flooring

[66HertzClone]

I’d like to easily and neatly be able to clean up the flooring in my garage. I have a gravel driveway so on a rainy day the tires bring quite a bit of stuff with them.

I saw this and wondered if it would solve this problem for me, anyone ever tried something like this before?

That looks interesting, but only 20 mins of run time on a charge. My cleaning routine for my racedeck floors has been to hit it with the big shop vac to pick up all the dirt, then I walk around and with a spray bottle of 50/50 simple green/water and give the entire area a good spritz. Let that sit a bit and then I mop it with a microfiber mop and just hot water.

The floor looks brand new after that. I normally only did this about 2x a year.

What color(s) are your tiles? My white is a b*tch to clean....maybe I'm not mixing the concentrate strong enough?

I simply sweep loose dirt/debris off, then go over the whole thing with a steam mop. Takes just a few minutes & removes all but the most difficult spots.

Last garage was alloy/blue. My mom has white/black in her garage and the white ***** with tire marks.

I have Graphite and Alloy in a checkerboard pattern with a red surround. It’s a two car garage and the second car is my Mustang so it doesn’t leave any marks as I don’t take it out when rain threatens.

Do you have any pics of your flooring? I am gearing up to order an alloy/graphite combo for my flooring.

Not the best pictures but it is what I have. The flow thru tiles are where the tires of my daily drive rest when it is parked in the garage. Keeps the floor from getting really messy when I pull in after it has snowed.

Thanks! Appreciate the pics.

I wanted to use the two by two layout for the tiles but the area was an odd number so one side would have the two by and the other side would be a one by, knowing that would drive my OCD crazy I went with the singles.

That vacuum looks too light duty. Here's my planned strategy;

1. Powerful leaf blower, such as the EGO+. You can blow off debris this way and into the driveway, as long as you're not sandblasting any cars in front of the garage. Maybe even try this with the garage door closed, or blow the dirt into a running Shop Vac. This leads to;

2. Powerful corded Shop-Vac. This will go a long way to catching anything the blower didn't. I have a large rolling wet/dry vac that will **** up nearly anything, water included of course.

3. RaceDeck recommends an ammonia-based cleaner if you want to mop, though I'm wondering if a vinegar-based cleaner might also work as personally I don't want to smell ammonia.
