What happens here
For a final, critical cleaning step, use acetone (specifically 'Crown Acetone fastest drying solvent' is shown) to degrease and prepare the floor. Pour a generous amount of acetone onto the floor and immediately spread it using a flat-head mop with a clean mop pad or cloth. Acetone rapidly evaporates, lifting any remaining oils, grease, or contaminants, leaving a perfectly clean and dry surface ready for the epoxy or other coating application.
Goal: Final degreasing and surface preparation
