Sweep.  Then mop.  :lol:


A mop is just too much work.

Broom won't pick up the smaller dust particles.

You can get some nice finishes if you put in the work.

If you mean you've turned a legitimate appeal for suggestions into some hardcore Home Improvement thread, then yeah, thanks.

Is it smooth concrete? If so, use one of those blue pushbroom dry mop thangs

That attachment only works when the hose interfaces with the ground at the optimal angle. I don't like to hunch over when I vacuum.


The optimal angle? It sounds like you are using a shitty vacuum.

Step 1: Buy a new vacuum that doesn't suck, like a Shop Vac.

Step 2: Get the attachment so you don't have to bend over.

Problem solved.

It isn't going to get any easier than that.

No, the shop vacs do no not have a swivel head. They're just a plastic mold. Look at a vacuum head by Hoover, Dyson, Shark, etc. They all have articulating heads, not a plastic head that has to be angled just right to interface with the floor. Again, shop vacs are meant for spills, cleaning out cars, etc. It is meant to be used while you're hunched over for a few minutes at most, not 30 minutes on your hands and knees while you go over the entire floor plan of your basement.

Where the slime live
Where the slime breed
When the wind blows
And the cradle falls....down

Their poison fingers
That wrote the poison lines
Their poison lingers
What a tragedy when their fingers are removed

Where the slime live (2x)

Where the slime live
(They are the lowest forms of life)
Where the slime breed
(They make a new one too corrupted)
When the wind blows
(The winds of truth are blowing now)
And the cradle falls....down

Their burning dogma
Introducing to our mind - lies
They plot for the total control of the morals
And what a tragedy are when the "god-heads" are removed

They crawl, they breed, they hide but we see

They burn I see the smoke of the funerals rising
God lives in their hearts now laid to rest

What a sight
As their kingdom comes tumbling down
We burn - the ones with contrite souls be gone!

Long gone are the filthy liars
Long gone are their filthy lies
I know they'll come again some day
Where the slime live and how the slime gets washed away

1. Get a vacuum.
2. Vacuum the floor.

A basic upright vacuum can easily transition to the floor. If you want a lot of efficiency, get a backpack vacuum from amazon. Are you a millennial OP? I keep reading these articles about how millennials lack even the most basic life skills. I'm trying to remain open-minded, but are there really people who don't know how to vacuum?

Hey guys, so I moved to a place with a basement, and the floor's concrete. Have no idea how to clean it, and I was looking for suggestions. There seems to be an accumulation of dust and lint. I'm assuming it came from the ventilation system.

Do you guys just vacuum it with a regular vacuum? Do you mop it? What's the general protocol?

Thanks.


I dont. Too many bodies down there.

Well, I don't consider myself a millenial. I was born in 85. I really consider myself a tweener between Gen X and Millenials. I did not grow up with internet and smart phones. I got AOL 3.0 when I was eleven or twelve.

I am a bit sheltered in a lot of ways, but I recently purchased a house, and I've been learning a lot about house upkeep. It's not that I don't know how to vacuum a house. I just wanted to know the most efficient manner to do it for a concrete floor.

I have a Dyson cordless V6 vacuum and a Ridgid 4 gallon shop vac. Both have its pros and cons. The V6's nozzle is meant for hardwood, tile, and carpet, not really for concrete.

The shop vac, like I said, is meant for spills, cleaning out the car, etc... isolated areas. The nozzle is not meant to be used as a general purpose vacuum because it does not have an articulating head. It's also a bitch to transfer between basement and garage, because it's heavy and unwieldy.

Upon much research, I've ultimately settled on a bagged canister vac. It's light enough for me to carry it around, and it seems to be the hybrid solution of the vacuum and shop vac.

Aite so basically if you committed to using a vacuum, just think of what you can get hands on that's has highest suction to start and where it's not lost due to the base being too unevenly distributed and not close enough to the ground. Its basic logic really, but i did also sell vacuums for a lil bit :P

Personally i'd just go with one of these:

omg, then use this. If the floor is extremely dirty, use a broom and dustpan first.

Functionally, tile, hardwood, and concrete are all hard surfaces where the dirt and dust will be sitting on top. They can use the same attachments. This is different than say, carpet, where the dirt and dust will be in the carpet pile/fibers, where it is better dislodged with a brush.

Once the concrete is vacuumed and the loose dirt/debris is gone, you may consider mopping, but that depends on how damp/humid the basement is, and whether the concrete is sealed or porous. I'd recommend something like a swiffer, which uses less liquid.
