DIY:cleaning up cement casting residue
Hello Hivers !! I'm back again with new content, today I will share a story about my success in cleaning the remaining cement mixture that froze on the floor and trash after a house renovation, although this job is a bit difficult, I don't call myself an expert, just with the experience of cleaning and simple equipment that I have
Let's see before I do this job, there are a lot of cement leftovers spilled on the floor and also stuck to the door, these cement leftovers have frozen and stuck to the floor, it won't be clean just by sweeping it, it takes effort and tools
The outside was only splashed with cement on the garage door, the inside was a lot of spilled and frozen casts, okay now I need some simple tools
The tools I need:
ladder
Broom
Screw
Mop
Bucket
Brush
Soap
Wet cloth and water
Now let's do the cleaning, first I have to sweep the dust and move the items in the garage
The remaining cement casting has frozen I have to use a small screw to pry and push it off I do it carefully so as not to damage the floor, I found a beetle-like animal lying here
He is not dead maybe trapped here last night, after all the cement casting on the floor is removed then I sweep it out, now I will clean the outside of the garage door, I use a ladder to be able to reach the highest part now I use soap liquid and cloth to wash the door while scrubbing it clean
Using a scrub to pry off the remaining casting on the door is really not recommended because it can damage the door paint but I have to do it slowly until it is clean then I rinse it
Now I go into the inside just like outside I wash all parts of this door until it is really clean repeating it several times is the right choice until there is no more cement casting left on the door then rinse it with clean water
Now I will wet all the floors and brush them until there are no more stains using a little soap is more effective in removing stains then I rinse it, the last step I have to use a mop to dry the floor
I repeat the mop several times until the floor looks dry and clean opening the door as wide as possible for a faster drying process
Now I have finished this job it looks very clean and neat making me fall in love with the garage room now, there is no more trash and leftover cement casting and the door is clean, now I will wait until everything is dry before I use it again to store the motorbike.
