    Remove grease, oil, and dirt from your concrete floors.
    Etching Cleaner—Etching cleaners prepare unfinished concrete for coating and patching. Often used in warehouses, light manufacturing facilities, and machine shops, they leave a rough, etched finish for strong coating adhesion. Pour these cleaners onto your floor and scrub with a stiff-bristle brush or broom.
    Non-Etching Cleaner—Non-etching cleaners are primarily used to clean finished concrete. They leave a smooth finish that’s ready for applying a protective coating if desired. They do not leave any etched markings, which can weaken concrete surfaces. Dilute these cleaners with water. Apply them to your floors with a mop or automatic scrubber.
