I have this scrubber

and I am wondering if it is suitable for cleaning concrete floors, or
should I just sell it.


Looks like it will, if it's nicely finished concrete - you'll chew up
the rubber squeegee blade pretty fast if there are a lot of rough
potholes and old anchor bolts sticking up. And you can't vacuum up
the water if it drains into an expansion crack.

Give the floor a once-over with a floor finishing grinder, and they
have self-leveling epoxy fillers that will fix the divots.

And you do want to seal the concrete first, so the cleaning water
doesn't sink in. They make several styles of sealant for that, or you
can use epoxy floor paint.


Bruce, I will use this warehouse for selling surplus equipment, not as
a shopping center. I think that it is too expensive to epoxy the
floor. I just wanted to keep it free of debris, excessive oil stains
etc.
