What is stamped concrete?
Stamped concrete is the process of pouring slab concrete onto a concrete surface and then impressing textures and patterns onto the concrete before the concrete dries. Hence the name “stamped concrete” you also may have heard of the terms concrete stamping, this is all the same process. Once the concrete has its pattern and texture from the stamping the color is applied on top and then a clear sealer seals the finished product to protect it from various elements. Stamped concrete can look like many different kinds of stone such as pavers, brick, cobblestone, seashells and much more.

What is Stained Concrete?
Stained Concrete gives color and texture to the existing aggregate material. Acid Stain is applied and the stain penetrates the surface of the concrete resulting in a chemical reaction that creates unique colors.

The first coat of 2 coats of a 35% solvent sealer is been installed to seal the acid stain. The second coat of the sealer really evens out the gloss on the flooring but we did not take the video. All our stained concrete floors comes out looking like marble.

We also install polyurethane sealers for an even glossier shine.

My aggregate concrete with a sealer was cleaned with mineral turpentine. There are now big brown stains. Help?

Muriatic Acid, a mix of sulfuric and hydrochloric acids, will eat away the stained concrete. This will do the trick provided the stains aren’t too deep.

WARNING: This stuff can be deadly! Wear goggles, rubber gloves (the heavy plastic kitchen gloves are good, but NOT latex exam gloves!) and a respirator specifically designed for these fumes! Also, you will want to wear a PVC rain suit so none gets on your skin. Any in your eyes, you’re blind; if you breath the fumes, you sizzle your lungs and gurgle when you breath for the rest of your life, if you get really unlucky, you may only need to carry an oxygen bottle. On the skin, you’ll get one heck of a burn! There is a good reason I charge loads when I play with this stuff!

I am not trying to scare you into not using it, but if you do decide to, I hope I have scared you into treating it with the respect it deserves.

Oh, you said it was aggregate concrete? Is it an exposed aggregate, where the rocks are showing at the surface? If so, and they are stained, then the stained rocks may need to come out. This is next to impossible without ripping out the concrete and pouring fresh. If it isn’t an exposed aggregate, it may well turn into one with the application of the muriatic acid.

It may well be easier (and a darn sight safer!) to call a concrete polishing company to smooth it down and coat it…

Try ZEP wet look Floor Finish(Step 3) which is available in the cleaning section at home depot.
It is slip resistant. I have it on my floors and finished concrete in my garage.
