Concrete cleaning - leofry@1966 - 11-30-2015
questions
I am cleaning 17000 sq feet of concrete this week and want some advice.
things to know
concrete is not that dirty , well not crazy dirty
its pretty much wide open space.
when i first got this job i looked into buying a scrubbing machine but then i thought ok this is most likely a one time deal, so i thought i have a cimex and a 175 and a huge walk behind shop vac. I also have 2 young men helping me so here is what i thought.
one will put product down with the cimex or 175 and the other will walk behind with the walk behind shop vac.
what do you think ?
also what product ?
what brushes or pads ?
how long do think it would take.
i have about a total of 16 hours do get this done ...
thanks
John

Rent an auto-scrubber if there's any possible way you can do that. It will be sooooo worth your while! I promise.

yeah i thought of that .. you think you can knock out 17,000 sq feet in 6 hours ?? and what product would you use Rick ?

An auto-scrubber and a good floor cleaning detergent. That's all you should need. With an auto-scrubber you should be able to clean a couple thousand sq ft per hour.

They make an attachment that hooks up to a pressure washer and works like a HydroForce tile cleaning machine. From what I have seen on youtube , it works great.
