Concrete Densifier & Polishing Experts

A concrete densifier is a penetrating treatment that reacts within the concrete to increase hardness, reduce dusting, improve abrasion resistance, and extend the life of the floor. Unlike surface coatings, densifiers become part of the slab itself.

The best way is with a cleaner formulated for concrete rather than general-purpose detergents or neutral cleaners. pH matters: concrete has a naturally alkaline surface, and cleaners that don’t match it can degrade the surface over time, dulling sheen and breaking down the finish. Dirt and debris also act as abrasives, grinding into the floor with every pass of foot traffic, so lifting and removing soil completely matters as much as the cleaner itself. CreteClean Plus with Scar Guard is designed for concrete and uses proprietary polar micelle technology to suspend and carry away contaminants with a mop and bucket or an auto scrubber. Used regularly, it maintains sheen, reduces the visibility of minor scratches, and keeps densified and polished concrete performing for the long haul.

Polished concrete floors are created by grinding, densifying, and polishing a concrete slab through a multi-step process until it achieves a reflective finish. The result is a hard, low-maintenance floor that resists wear.

Yes, but much less than many other flooring systems. Routine dust removal and regular cleaning with a concrete-specific cleaner help preserve appearance and performance. Products like CreteClean Plus with Scar Guard are designed for this.

Concrete floors are hardened using a penetrating treatment that reacts with calcium hydroxide in the concrete to form crystals that fill in the natural pores of the slab. This increases surface hardness and abrasion resistance.

Absolutely. In fact, RetroPlate was originally developed to rehabilitate existing concrete, not new slabs. If the slab is structurally sound, grinding, densifying, and polishing can transform worn, stained, or neglected concrete into a hard, low-maintenance floor.

The best cleaner is one specifically formulated for concrete. Harsh detergents, acidic cleaners, or products that leave behind residues or debris can degrade the appearance of polished concrete over time.

CreteClean Plus with Scar Guard is formulated specifically for concrete and densified-polished concrete floors, using rinse-free technology and proprietary chemistry to clean and remove debris effectively and supports high-performing polished concrete for the long-term.
