How to Clean Up a Concrete Slab Using a Rub Brick
A concrete rub brick can help remove stains, spots and rough patches in a concrete slab. Similar to sandpaper, the grit in the rub brick rubs away the top layer of concrete surface, leaving behind a smooth, clean surface. Using a concrete rub brick should only occur when routine cleaning fails to remove spots and stains. Continuously using the rub brick may make your concrete slab uneven. Does this Spark an idea?
