You’ve got that nice, beautiful, lustrous concrete floor now protected by a W. R. Meadows curing and sealing compound, but how do you maintain that look? Here’s some tips on proper floor maintenance after the application of our product.
The following steps are recommended for proper maintenance of W. R. MEADOWS curing and sealing compounds and concrete sealers.
- Routine dust mopping, sweeping, vacuuming, etc. This will help remove any dust, dirt, grit, etc., which can dull the appearance of the concrete sealer if left on the surface.
- Routine damp-mopping with a commercially available, MILD cleaner.* Avoid cleaners that contain ammonia, harsh chemicals, abrasives, etc., which can also dull the surface.
- *Periodic application of a commercially available concrete floor wax.
- Wipe up liquid spills as quickly as possible. Do not allow water or other liquids to puddle and remain on the sealer floor.
While concrete curing and sealing compounds and concrete sealers will help protect concrete floors from stain absorption, these products are NOT 100% stain-resistant. Removing the stain as soon as possible from the concrete surface will help prevent the stain from reaching the concrete.
*When using commercially available cleaners and waxes, it’s important to follow all manufacturer use, application safety, and handling instructions.
The frequency of these maintenance steps as well as the frequency of resealing will depend on the amount of foot traffic, and the amount, type, and frequency of exposure to contaminants, liquids, etc.

Hello,
Just used the Decra-seal product on our cabin concrete floor and it worked !! I’m just new to this and I stripped / cleaned with your Ultrite products and went very well.
Question, I put two coats of the sealer with a 18″ – 3/8 nap roller. It dried nice , but it really has a shin :) In some parts of the colored floor they have brush marks where they blended the brown colors, thus the seal is different less shinny then the smooth concrete. Would I need to put more coats on to build over these areas or is there a product that has a satin finish so these areas do not stand out as much ??
