Hi

The floor of my basement use to be covered by a carpet and underneath it a vinyl tiles. I removed both of them. I am not sure what the floor is made from. Not sure if it is cement of something else. My house was build in 1926.
I took a picture of this floor. you can see it here

My question, do you know from that pic which kind of floor is that (cement or something else). Also any recommendation how to keep it nice. Any material I can put it to clean it, make it better looking, shining etc. I had to remove both the carpet and vinyl because of the water.
Thanks a lotl.
The water problem might be something simple. Does all the
ground surrounding the house slope away from the house? It could have
settled over the years. Even a few inches right against the foundation
will matter.
