Cleaning

Cleaning Your Polished Concrete Floor

A regular cleaning schedule is suggested using any scrubber. We recommend soft-medium nylon bristle brushes. The more you scrub and clean, the harder and denser the polished concrete floor becomes.

Water and a mild detergent (such as Zep Purple) or a diluted neutral cleaner is recommended. A wet mop works fine as well.

Autoscrubber Process For Polished Concrete Floors

You can use either a walk behind or ride-on scrubber for polished concrete floors.

  • Dilute cleaner 2 to 4 quarts in a full tank of water depending on level of surface soil.
  • Run area with brushes down, squeegee up, and water set between 3/4 and full open.
  • Scrub area and allow cleaner to stand on surface for five minutes minimum.
  • Make a second pass reducing water to 1/4 open and pick up with squeegee down and vacuum on.
  • When entire area is completed with above procedure, inspect floor for trouble areas of remaining soil.
  • Spray areas via pump-up sprayer with a 1:1 water/cleaner mixture and let stand ten minutes and re-scrub
  • For maximum surface shine, make a final pass with brushes down, squeegee down, vacuum on and water set between 1/4 and 1/2 open with water only (no cleaner as detergent can leave a hazy film detracting from shine).
  • Remove any spill as soon as possible. The longer a contaminate remains on the floor; the more chance it has to stain the surface.
DO NOT APPLY WAX OR SEALERS as these floors are self-polishing. An occasional "dry buff" with a soft or white 3M pad will enhance the floor's natural shine.
