3. STAINING
The word stain does not literally mean to discolor or leave a dirty mark
on your floor. Staining concrete floors is actually one of the best ways
used by contractors nowadays to easily transform dull concrete floors
into a classy and sophisticated one. It is a process of applying a thin
coating of stain (that can be an acid or a dye) onto the floor to make it
look new again.

4. HOW TO STAIN CONCRETE
Staining concrete floors is easy. You may want to hire somebody to do it
for you but rest assured that the process is so simple that you can really
do it all by yourself (or perhaps, with a little help of a friend or family
member). Here is a step-by-step process of staining concrete with an
acid stain.

STEP 1
First, you have to clean the area. Before staining, make sure that you wear
protective gears (gloves, special suit, and face mask) as you are going to work
with acid. It may not be the type of acid that’s dangerous but it is always good
to be safe.

STEP 2
Mix the acid stain with water. Make sure that the mixture contains equal
ratio of the acid and water. Then, put the mixture into a spray bottle.
The next step is the part when you will need a little help from
somebody. While you are spraying the mixture onto the floor, ask
someone who will follow it up with a scrub or a broom. This is essential
so as to help the solution seep into the tiny openings of the floor or
cement. It is also important that you apply the stain using a uniform
and systematic process so as to create a smooth and nice finish.

STEP 3
After finishing the entire floor, let it dry. Then clean the newly stained
floor using baking soda diluted in water. Follow it up with a vacuum
cleaner so as to totally remove the dirt that maybe missed by regular
cleaning. Avoid stepping on the floor for about a couple of minutes. The
floor may appear chalky at first but it is okay. Just leave it like that
overnight.

STEP 4
The following day, the floor would be ready for the sealant. Sealants are
important as they serve as the final coating that will bind the acid stain
and the cement. Just make sure that the sealant you purchase is suitable
for use with the kind or brand of stain you applied on your floor. Ask the
opinion of hardware staff before purchasing one. Applying the sealant
is as easy as staining concrete floors. Just paint it on the floor evenly
and let it dry. Re-apply to achieve the finish you are aiming. Once it is
completely dry, you can now walk on your brand new floor.
