Intelli Clean Solutions- Stain Concrete In Orlando
1. HOW TO STAIN CONCRETE IN
ORLANDO
Steps To Prepare the Concrete Surface
Never clean with muriatic acid. It will destroy the crucial minerals
required to create the chosen colour spectrum.
All prior sealants, paints, adhesives, and coatings should be stripped off.
Use a degreaser and neutralizer (diluted 4 to 1) on oil stains, then
thoroughly rinse.
Use a concrete etch and cleaning to prepare the surface for acid
staining, then thoroughly rinse.
Concrete needs to be sufficiently porous to absorb water. It could
require Mechanical preparation to allow acid stains to adhere to hard
concrete surfaces.
Using masking tape and construction paper resistant to water, create an
overspray mask. To stop stains from bleeding, use duct tape over
masking tape.
Surface preparation is the key stage in staining a concrete floor. The age of
fresh concrete should be at least four weeks.
Start by clearing the area entirely of any objects on the floor. Dust, grime,
and other debris should be swept and mopped off to avoid stains showing
through them and affecting the final appearance. Use a pressure washer to
remove colours and persistent markings from the old concrete if necessary.
Apply the Stain and Remove Residue
Apply the stain on the concrete slab cleanly and evenly using an acid-
resistant airless paint sprayer. You can use a handheld brush or roller
alternatively to apply colour to the slab's tiny spaces and nooks and
crannies. Work in segments as necessary. For a consistent and smooth
finish, run the paint roller over each coat applied with a sprayer.
2. It should use Water to dampen the area but not to allow its pool.
Spray in overlapping motions, keeping the edge moist.
Give the acid stain at least six hours to react with the concrete floor.
To get a rough idea of the final colour, remove the residue and pour
Water on the floor. Apply a second layer if a deeper shade is preferred.

Remove any residue from the floor using an acid brush and a degreaser
and neutralizer solution. Repeat.
Rinse with fresh water and wipe away any extra moisture. If necessary,
use a wet-dry vacuum. Rinse the area with clean water until the rinse
water is colour-free and the floor can be wiped without taking up any
colour.
Concrete must be residue-free in its entirety. Be prepared to rinse
multiple times with clean water.
Once the concrete has dried, wipe the floor with a white cloth to see
whether it is ready. Rinse and dry it once more if any residue is visible.
Continue until there is nothing left.

After giving the stain total of 24 hours to dry, apply the sealer to the floor as
instructed on the package. Depending on the atmosphere, the sealer's
drying time might change. For it to solidify, let it take two days.
