Removing Concrete Dust.................

[bobmulry]

Hi All,

Just getting ready to put down sealer on my shop floor................

I pressure washed, hosed out and squeegeed the floor but I still had a film of very fine concrete dust..

My dust mop just made neat rows of the dust......

I re-washed and squeegeed the floor and still had the dust......

Every time I wash it takes a couple of days to dry completely and I still have the dust....

I could see doing this 20 times and still not remove all of the dust.....

Do you guys or gals know any tricks to make this as painless as possible....

Thanx,
Bob

PS:
The shop floor is 40' X 60'

Squeegees, just move stuff around for me, so I use a wet vac and an old fashioned wet mop and scrub bucket is the easiest and most economical. Two or three friends and a BBQ/Beer..done.

best of luck

Have you tried a solvent wipe?

You may have a dusty slab. The broom is actually making the dust.
Might want to hit that slab with an appropriate densfier before sealing.

Try a good mopping...that often helps.
