What happens here

This DIY project outlines the essential first stage of preparing a concrete floor for epoxy application. It involves systematically cleaning the floor, starting with removing loose debris, meticulously spot-treating stubborn oil and grease stains with a foaming degreaser, applying a general-purpose neutral floor cleaner across the entire surface, and finally, thoroughly pressure washing the floor to ensure it is impeccably clean and free of contaminants, which is critical for proper epoxy adhesion.

All right, so I'm getting ready to do the first step of the process of epoxying this floor. I'm going to go around spot, you know, spot clean degrees. Anything I see, you know, where like a vehicle could have leaked some oil. We got some spots right here. Looks like vehicles leaked oil here. We've got something over here. I'm just going to use a crud cutter pro. This is a foaming degreaser. I'm going to walk around as soon as I blow it out. Hit those spots that I think need extra cleaner. Then I'm going to mix my solution right here at crud cutter pro. The neutral flooring cleaner. I've got a bucket. I'm just going to mop that on. I'm going to mop it on the whole surface. And then I'm going to pressure wash the whole thing. Some type of oil. Not from a car, but something spilled right here.
