Sweeping Compounds - Cleaning Dust & Debris Off Concrete | DIY Home Improvement

Is your concrete flooring constantly covered in a layer of dust and masonry debris? Whether you just finished an installation on the floor and want to clean up or you want to prep the floor for a new finish, a Sweeping Compound may be just what you need!

Sweeping Compounds attract and hold dirt, dust, and debris for an easy clean by preventing dirt, dust, and debris from going airborne when swept. In this video, Bob demonstrates how sweeping compounds are used and what you need to know for using them to clean your floors.

Hey thanks! today I did some masonry work and tried to level my floor and get rid of a concrete lip in my room and I realize the vacuum quickly filled and was just spraying dust everywhere so much that I couldn’t see 6 Inches in front of me. Going to buy the stuff tomorrow and clean my vacuum and clean everything!!!!

Always learning something new within our fields. This will save me time, and l can charge accordingly for my new knowledge. You have to be willing to deliver time, patience, and repetition for a Quality over Quantity job... p.s. never knew sweeping compound was a thing!😮🎉

We used to use this at the feed store I worked at in high school to keep dust down in building. I didn't know Zep makes it but want to get some for my barn feed room. Thanks for video.

Thank you So Much. I have air handlers in new construction unfinished basement. Will try this method soon to get rid of Dust.

Certainly seems better than dry sweeping. Thanks 4 the tip.

[chrisrogers]

Thank you!!! I just moved into a new home and the basement is dusty just like yours. I came from a home with the same issue. I dealt with it for 4 years....definitely not doing that again.

[mariaceaser]

You made that look so easy to do, I'm going to do this to my dusty basement, my basement is not as big as yours only 900 square feet. This video was very helpful thank you so much.

[ForeverSongMinistries]

Thank you so much! My garage is so dirty.

[michaelcharach]

seems to me that this would be excellent to use on floor boards when replacing carpet. I am going to try it out on my attached garage this week.

How about getting the masonry dust off the walls and ceiling? :/

[curiousgeorge]

Wouldn't the air moved by throwing the stuff down kick up some dust?
