What do you guys use to clean your garage floors after a long winter of sand and mud? Just sweeping doesn’t quite cut it plus dust over everything. Are there any companies that have a machine that would work or should I just buy a mop?

I use a driveway ice-scraper for the dirt-chunks, vacuum the edges/corners so you can sweep the rest to the center and either shovel the pile into the garbage or shop-vac it.

grew up using that stuff in a shop in east Bismarck

I'm always shocked at how few people use it in their own garages

With everyone stuck at home, honey do lists are clearly getting slim when folks are resorting to scrubbing garage floors ;)

I use an old hoover carpet cleaner and add a squirt of dawn soap in the water, It scrubs cement cleaner than a whistle.

i bought a car mat for parking on. It catches 90+% of the muck. It has a 1" berm around the edge. if its snowy you do have to empty excess water off of it. I fold it up i the spring. Leaf blower, then power washer. and i do have an old mop for tough stains etc
