Author Recs for floor washing?

We have a concrete floor in our loft and it seems it's never been truly
clean, even after a good scrub and several rinses. The surface is
quite large so I can't be on my knees scrubbing this thing quite as
often as it seems to need.

I was wondering:

(a) if there was a special product or process for cleaning concrete
that would really work (I've been using standard floor-washing Mr
Clean)

(b) if there is a machine that will thoroughly clean floors like this.
I am very skeptical of the Scooba (the floor washing robot gadget from
the makers of Roomba).

Many thanks!

It sounds as though sealig the floor wuld be a good option. This would
stop it from shedding concrete dust and spillages would not be absorbed
so easily.

Yes, sealing is really the only answer. Search Google with: sealing
concrete floor
and you will find many sites.
Good luck.

The thing is the concrete is already sealed. It's just that being on
the ground level that's where everyone walks in in their shoes, and it
is simply never clean enough...

We've just purchased a Hoover SpinScrub (a wet vacuum with a spinning
brush) but the darn thing is so incredibly noisy, in addition to being
super heavy (twenty-something pounds), that I am reluctant to keep
it...
