I have to agree with cmaster's comments.
 
Can't beat mechanical action (brushes) on concrete followed by a rinse/vacuum.
 
However, always keep in mind that your cleaning agents will foam---and rightly so btw---during the cleaning process and pick-up process.

Used an SX-12 on a 4 stall garage floor to get off the winter grime and charged 70.00 per stall = 240.00
in 2 hours. ( painted Concrete ) worked great . ]]> Thu, 22 May 2008 00:52:08 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5073&PID=143794&title=cleaning-concrete-floor#143794 <![CDATA[Cleaning concrete floor : bearing in mind differing costs...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5073&PID=143750&title=cleaning-concrete-floor#143750 Author: FreshAire

If you use an auto scrubber, you could charge between .05 and .15 sq ft. You can clean up to 20,000 sq ft per hourBig%20smile]]> Tue, 20 May 2008 01:02:19 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5073&PID=143744&title=cleaning-concrete-floor#143744 <![CDATA[Cleaning concrete floor : OK,about what is the SQFT charge?...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5073&PID=143741&title=cleaning-concrete-floor#143741 Author: CCandmore

Check this site out for the "Big Bertha" hard surface cleaner, great for concrete if you have a machine that can pump out 1000-2800psi. Pretty much an oversized tile cleaner like your Turbo Tile Tool; same principle but on a larger scale and excellent results

If it's smooth, an automatic scrubber with pads. If it's rough, use brushes. You should be able to rent one from a janitorial supplierBig%20smile]]> Mon, 19 May 2008 01:22:20 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5073&PID=143701&title=cleaning-concrete-floor#143701 <![CDATA[Cleaning concrete floor : OK guys, I just cleaned an 7,000...]]> https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5073&PID=143700&title=cleaning-concrete-floor#143700 Author: CCandmore

OK guys, I just cleaned an 7,000 sqft carpeted banquet room Friday. Now they want to know how much to clean the concrete (indoor, sealed) entrance floor surrounding the main arena.  It's big - surrounds an indoor competitive horse trials/show/steeplechase thing.  Horseshoe-shaped concrete floor with stadium seating on the inside and shops on the outside.
 
What is the best way to clean finished concrete? SX-12, Padman's op or what method?
 
How much is the typical square foot charge for this service?
 
Thanks for the help.
