Concrete Cleaning

Just checked out about 3,000SF of finished concrete in a Manufacturing facility.

What procedures do you use to clean this? there is some grease, dirt, etc. Not very heavy, but could use a wash.

We have all the tile & grout tools hooked up to a Mytee M12. Any special chems we should use?

Also, and I know the main answer to this, but im curious how you charge in Relation to your carpet cleaning, i.e. commercial at .15c, double for concrete? More or less just a rounded comparison between the two.

Thanks!

An auto scrubber is by far the best tool for this cleaning, it is also the most productive, I could do it an about an hour 1 1/2 tops. 5 to eight cents a sq ft

we just did a concrete floor at the restaurant we clean. I tested a spot and the results were great. first prespary with punch mixed up for greasy carpet cleaning.. (double dose of punch in hot water) and using some old beige pads on teh mex scrubbed with a bit of DS mixed heavy, (double the dose) to keep it somewhat wet.. the manager came behind us with mop bucket getting up excess water and rinsing the floor with clean water mop.. they turned out great.. charged .20 per SF.

a 1000 SF area took 30 mins to do..

an auto scrubber scrubs and extracts all in one step. No need for fans floor is almost dry.

I use a good degreaser or stripper, tend to use Spartan products.
