What is a good degreaser to use prior to painting an interior concrete floor?
Question:
Answers:
To do the job right you should clean the floor with a mild muratic acid solution and then let dry thoroughly.
ALWAYS USE CAUTION WHEN USING THIS OR ANY ACID BASED CLEANER AND KEEP WELL VENTILATED
TSP and water
a mixture of TSP and water and a good stiff scrub brush should remove that
you can get TSP..trisodiumphosphate .at most Home Depot type stores
i pretty sure they also make a degreaser for cleaning concrete which i think you can also find at "H.D." type stores
B.
a good cleaner like simple green or a similar product will cut the grease. Once it is clean, be sure to prime to get a good bond on the paint. You may want to try one of the epoxy coatings that will last for years and years.
I vote for Simple Green (available at Wal-Mart and automotive stores) along with hot, hot water! Let it sit there a while before scrubbing and be sure to rinse well. Good luck!
lots of stuff on the market .. here is one
Muriatic acid is used for "etching" concrete...tsp or tsp subsitute is made for cleaning/degreasing it..available in all home depots, wal marts, lowes etc..sprays with a bug sprayer is best way to apply..
