How To Stain Concrete Floors | Easy Diy Method

I was hired to stain the concrete floor in the basement of this house.
The concrete was in good condition but was a little dirty.
The first thing we did was clean the concrete by lightly grinding it with diamond pads.
After cleaning, we vacuumed the floor and it was ready to apply the floor stain.
I used acetone dye in the video but I would suggest you use a water based stain that is applied in the same manner.
After applying the concrete stain, we let it dry and sprayed on a water based acrylic sealer to finish the floor.

    Hey Mike. This video really helps me out with the staining of concrete. I always have stayed away from staining. But as my small business grows I want to do more of this. I love this side of decorative side of concrete. You and your guys are great and I learned a lot from this videos. Keep up the good work.

    Love it. Looks almost exactly to what we put on our basement floor. Stain is a good option for basements especially if a drain backs up, no carpet to worry about. You do good work Mike.

    So glad I found your channel, Mike. I've got a big patio job happening in my yard at the moment. I've picked a stain color and realize I know nothing about concrete sealer finishes -- matte, gloss, semi gloss, low sheen, etc. If I don't try to gain a little knowledge myself, I don't know how to answer the question, "what do you want?" This is the scariest part for a customer -- this isn't what we DO, so it's hard to know what it is we want or what the options are.

    Thanks so much for posting this. I've been wanting to redo the floor in my house for several years; it's covered with wood laminate (pergo) that's been damaged by several floods. By the time I was able to setup a drainage system outside that would prevent that, the damage was done. I had been thinking about putting ceramic tile or stone on the concrete so that it would resemble a stone floor, when I saw a friend's house who did what you demonstrated: Cleaned, stained and sealed his concrete pad. This is exactly what I want for my house and your video showed that it's something I could do, that I don't have to hire someone else to do it for me. I'll definitely check out the Concrete Underground, but this has been a great introduction to staining my slab!

    Our house flooded and our hardwood floors are ruined, which were refinished less than 2 years ago after a frozen pipe leak. I think this would be a great solution but insurance isn't paying for flood issues so I hope to eventually get all the warped hardwood up and have this done. Great video. Now I know what is involved when we have this done.

    well hello again from a mainer now living in costa rica - this is the second time i searched youtube for something I was making and the second time i recognized an accent from home - i subscribed after the last video, the minute i heard the voice, i scrolled down and figured it was you - grin - i just had my first go at a polished cement counter top poured in place - (meant a whole lot of steel troweling - every couple of hours -- 12 midnight and i think it is finally good - spray misted it and covered it with plastic for the night - thanks for your videos, and double thanks for speaking a version of "ingles" i recognize - my wife is filipina, our friends and neighbors range from other filipinos, latinos of multiple countries and accents, to germany, france, italy, israel, china, india, and more - sometimes it is easier just to visit in spanish than understand all the variety of english - lol -

    Looks great Mike! I love the variation in colors. I did not hear your suggestion on alternative cleaning methods. I'm thinking maybe acid washing. My DIY project is to restain my front and rear porches. The previous stain done by the previous owner has faded and worn away. I need to keep the anti-skid texture to prevent slipping on the floor when wet. So i will shy away from sanding/cleaning machine. But explain about the alternative cleaning method before i apply stain. Thanks! Donny

    @Mike Day Concrete update: We couldn't get a stain for the floors. I live in a small town and had to order it. But we were able to grind back the floor of one room and just sealed it. Your video made the whole process so easy! While I would have loved to stain the floor (I will be staining the second one) the industrial feel of the raw sealed concrete worked surprisingly well! Old stains show and we didn't seal the cracks first and it actually looks pretty good. Now to see how well the sealer lasts hahaha
