Tired of your dull gray concrete basement floor. Give it a new look with a waterproof stain. You can use a swiffer covered in a wet rag to mop the floor. The water will help to pick up any remaining dust and the detergent will wipe out any microbes that have found their way into the house on construction workers boots.

The house was built in 1955 and i am concerned that this red stuff might contain lead and or asbestos. The stain and other supplies you need are all sold at home centers. When the house was framed up but no insulation drywall yet there was a flood in the lower level with sitting water. My basement is unfinished and has a french drain.

Use a mild detergent or a vinegar water solution and ring the rag out thoroughly before attaching it to the swiffer.
