    Oh man that’s chemicals and … some sort of subbing machine time.

    Maybe have someone redo the finish …

    After that first scrape was as bad as it was I would have sought quotes from floor services.

    Try mopping with simple green and hot water for this.

  4. Where_Da_Party_At

    A hard lacquer that specializes in sealing concrete would have been much better to start with! Lol

  5. RoosterGoat974

    I was about to say, that’s a bakery. 😅

  6. I can guarentee you the response from the previous management would be “it’ll just get dirty again, don’t waste time”

    I mean a bakery is the only place that this would make sense. Getting a GOOD sweep before the mop is more important than the mop itself.

    I worked at a Chinese Kitchen (no dining) and they would put everything up in building, pour soap, rinse, push broom the suds, then rinse. Once a year. Their health score was always perfect. One of the cooks would grow out his thumbnail to devein shrimp while he smoked.

    I worked at a bowling alley and had to do the same thing. They never mopped and some how never got hit by the health department.

    PSA: Don’t skimp out on having your floors professionally done before opening your location. Kitchen red tile is friend not foe…

    Unpainted cement is absorbent, abrasive, and I hate it…

    Shit man that’s a job for a pressure washer.

    That’s probably Ground in flour, it would make a a good sour dough starter. We could call it “hoboken sour dough”.

  14. MariachiArchery

    Oh is this like back in the day when we would just throw saw dust on the floor after the shift?

  15. Gross! How bad does it need to get to be able to scrape shit up with a shovel?

    Mold it all into a block and grate it onto salads/pasta/pizzas, finish your steaks with it, top your milkshakes with it—easiest trick I learned for keeping costs low working in Sing Sing

  17. Are you sure the floor isn’t a cold stone creamery?

  18. JauntingJoyousJona

    Imagine the stories that gunk has seen. That was probably how the kept the floor nonslip lol

    Pour some hot water on it and see how far you can walk without slipping.

    It’s like a rolled ice cream but just ass flavored with a hint of botulism.

    Reminds me of the chilli’s at the airport I worked in, the floor was so slick from grease that it was a genuine slipping hazard. I was horrified the first time I entered their kitchen

  22. JaySayMayday

    Hard pass, I’m putting a robot mopper up to the task

  23. y3boyz4me

    How in the world did this floor get this way to begin with?!?!

  24. LadySmuag

    Is that not an epoxy floor coating that you’re scraping up?
