How does it work on polished-concrete floors? (Like in grocery stores.) Concrete's very hard, but dirt gets ground into it. Will this do the job? Tks!

I haven't really lbeen happy with my max extract since I got it. I really don't think it will work on concrete at all.

we use it in a warehouse with smooth and lightly rough cement and it does the trick. Wet surfaces it will pick up debri but not good so I would not recommend it for wet areas of any kind.

I do not know because we have the polished concrete floors. I do have tile in my bathroom but, it never looks dirty enough for me to tell if the steamer has cleaned it or not. It always looks clean. It doesn't produce a whole lot of moisture (your floor doesn't look soaking wet when you go over it) but, a lot of vapor production.

Dear Klunch, If your marble floor is rough, yhis is not the product for you. This is simply an excellent polish. It is my humble opinion, not physically seeing your floor, that your marble needs to be honed and polished. That is generally performed by a firm that comes in with buffing and honing equipment. I'd get several estimates and check with your local BBB before hiring the company to do the work. I hired a company without checking them out and ended up with machine ringlets everywhere. What a nightmare! So be certain to CHECK THEM OUT or get their references. Best of luck to you.

I do not have tile floors, but I did take it over to a relatives house. She wanted to try it out. It seemed to do a good job on her tile floors but it was just a one time thing. Hopefully you can get an answer from someone who deals with them in their home.

I have a small cement driveway and cement sidewalk. It worked great unless you hit an uneven patch...but thats just my ground issue. Last year we had a horrible winter in the tri state area, and this was a god send especially when we had a large amount fall overnight.

I've used it on tile and wood floors and got the smell out with no problem. So it should get the smell out of concrete as well (not sure about the stain that it leaves on concrete though.)

DO NOT use your Floormate hard floor cleaner. The gunk will clog it up. It seems to wear off with time....use a mop with attached scrubber for low traffic areas to even out the wear.

It's works well on dirt. Great on tile, carpet & pavement. good on wet pavement but please dry off if moving from wet pavement to tile (into shopping mall) otherwise it can be a little slick. Haven't used on snow.....

My experience is with a unfinished concrete basement floor that was not level, and it drained out about .05 inches, then I just needed a dry mop. It was great and fast.

Yes, this works great on concrete. I did treat the concrete area by cleaning it with TSP beforehand though to clean the pores of the concrete, allowing this cleaner to really soak in. It worked great!

This is not a high speed orbiter, so I don't think it would be powerful enough to put a shine on a concrete floor. You should probably talk to a janitorial supply place for info before deciding what you need.

Thought this was answered. I have two and grandkids use on my wooden floors, no problems. I don't let them go outside on concrete; kept inside so wheels don't get any gashes to scratch floors.

It sounds like you have a standard "grinder" that typically uses metal or concrete grinding or cut off wheels. If you are considering using your grinder for the concrete polishing pads consider that these polishing pads will work dry BUT they will burn out quickly and it will be difficult to get an even smooth appearance. In my experience they aren't best used dry but with a wet polisher. I only use the pads with a wet polisher - mine is a makita and it works great. I recently did 3 countertops - one was about 2x11 and the others were much smaller. The pads worked very well. With projects the size of mine you will need multiple pads per grit. Hope this helps.

Although I've never actually tried it on concrete, it will work the same on any permeable surface. It the offending liquid can penetrate concrete, so can MMAIP and, therefore, it can reach the odor to do it's job. Sorry I can't testify, but it just makes sense to me!

Is the concrete sealed or just finished like a driveway outside. If it is sealed for floors inside I can not see where it would not work on it, it works great on tile.
