How to Mop Epoxy Floors

[edubya]

Can anyone chime in on what the best way to floor mop an epoxy garage without leaving water stains? When I mop it leaves beads of water (much like when you wash a car), that simply will not dry evenly (much like a car) without completely drying it down (much like a car).

Just wanted to get some suggestions on the best way to mop floors.

Thanks!

push-handle squeegee?

You must have a dark colored floor?
Wipe it with a damp towel once clean.

I don't have epoxy, but RaceDeck. Try a steamer. I wound up with my wife's old one from the house and it works great. Walmart has them for about $60.

Place a towel the length of your push broom, drag or push it around till it is dry. If needed spay a little alcohol on the towel first, stay off floor for five minutes. Works for me.

Edit: this is after you use the squeegee to remove the majority of the water.

+1 for using a squeege. I found that it works much better vs mopping. I usually just sweep, dump a bucket or two of hot water on the floor and then squeege it out the door. Looks like new afterwards.
