Hangar Floor Cleaner

[spoolinup22]

I've got a floor scrubber that does pretty well with water, but I need a degreaser or something similar to just get that extra shine.

Floor is concrete with some paint that is shiny in some areas, dull in others.

Any recommendations to mix with water? Maybe even a new type of paint/ flooring?

Thanks.

Clean the grease then wax.

I have used this on a terrible looking hangar floor, made it look a few years newer. Bought me some time for a strip and refinish

What do you use on your new floor?

I left the FBO biz before they got a new one, boss was a bit on the thrifty side after seeing a shiny floor. Might have been my undoing

My hangar floor has a nice coat of epoxy on it. I use Simple Green and a saturated mop, then a dry mop to pick up the moisture working small (6' x 15') areas at a time. The saturated mop first seems to do the trick. If you don't already have a commercial bucket and mop break down and get one, together they are about $75.

Don't have a lot of pictures of my floor.

My Wife is a chemist that formulated floor finishes and cleaners at her last job, Do you have any pictures of the floor? condition of the paint, has it been sealed? bare concrete in some areas?

i can take some tomorrow. the paint seems to be relatively in good condition, probably painted in last 5 years. i would say its sealed as some spots can be slick as hell while it looks normal. no bare spots yet.

Bleach.

If it smells clean, it is clean.

Makes me proud that you spelled it right.
