Cleaning Concrete Basement Floor ?

can you clean concrete basement floor with water and pine sol, with a mop ?Well i just bought a new house and i wanted to clean my basement floor with pin sol with a mop is that good for my basement floor or will it ruin it ?

Answer:

You can use pinesol but a ph neutral cleaner like murphy's oil soap would be better.
you need to inveset or rent a power washer! There are no fumes in a power washer. but i would have someone else do it! I worked in new contruction clean up - yes i have power washed LARGE GROSS NASTY basments some with dog droppings and man piss i guess people just don't care what they do at work! I don't see why you can't power wash the basement I think you just don't want to do it that way and i'll tell you it will be the easiest more user friendly way then a mop and a bucket! you could try your hose and if your worried about your furnace turn it off but the water will not hurt it just don't shot the thing! lol well you can i have leaves sweet marks! lol Well best wishes to you!
Well, Pine Sol is more for wood floors.. The best stuff to use is Pledge (the one is the blue bottle that you squirt in areas, then run a wet mop over). It smells great and leaves all different surfaces clean. I also use Lysol floor cleaner with nemonia which is good for disinfecting that kind of surface. I would also vaccum it first because you might ruin the mop by running it over debri left behind - like pebbles and other big dirt particles. Happy cleaning!
