Cleaning a New Concrete Floor

[beck3906]

My shop is nearing completion and we're trying to prep the floor for an epoxy finish. The drywall folks sprayed texture material all over the edges. Also, there's a lot of joint compound dust and splatters over the floor.

What would you recommend using to get the floor clean? Someone recommended using a floor buffer with a bristle pad.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Scrape off the excess. I used a stiff bristled brush, water and a mild cleaner to get the drywall mud stains off of the floor.

Drywall mud cleans up easily. Water with a stiff brush is all you need. Powerwashing also works well. Be sure to rinse it completely.
