Here’s anarticle Submitted by a Reader on how Epoxy Floor Paint saved the their day.

Like many homes, the one we moved into was previously occupied by pet lovers, and their canine companions certainly left their scent behind them. There was also the faint but distinct smell of cat pee in the spare bedroom. We had already prepared for this and new that once we cleaned these surfaces properly and sealed them with an epoxy floor covering, then all would be well with the world.

Ask any decorator/renovator, and they will tell you that the most important part of house renovations and decorations is the prep work. Poor prep will result in poor quality short lasting finishes. So as tedious and thankless as it seems, never skimp on the prep. We cleaned up fur, fleas and other bugs from the floor, and then had to tackle the odour issue that gets left behind by pets in that relentless lingering stench. Epoxy floor covering is what we used, and Epoxy floor covering is what worked, first time.

It’s important to point out that any of the epoxy floor covering product are pretty potent when wet and can give off quite a powerful odour, especially in those spaces with limited ventilation. Although the smell of Epoxy is a welcome stench over that of pet odour, you may still need to take precautions when using epoxy floor covering in the family home.

When we used Epoxy floor covering in our home, we decided to book into a hotel for a couple of nights while the fumes diminished. It was a good excuse for a short break after all the work and stress that home renovating and decorating brings with it. On our return, there was but the faintest hint of the new Epoxy surface. Don’t forget folks that Epoxy garage floor paint is not specific to garage floors and serves well in basements and outhouses too.

Thanks to Epoxy floor paint and the tough Epoxy floor coatings they leave on surfaces once dry, that once smelly, scruffy, basement of ours is now super clean, has an attractive sheen, and is completely odour free. The only real drawback is that on the limited colours available in all Epoxy floor paint, but they are bringing our more options all the time. Limits in colours really is the only gripe as no other negative points can be found with the Epoxy basement floor paint products.
