Let's face it, the garage is not one of the most romantic rooms in our home. We spend very little, if any time in there and it's normally when we are running from the car to the fridge with groceries or throwing something in the corner for storage. In the summer months, it can be very hot in there and we just can't wait to get out.
If we let our garage get into a general state of disrepair, it can have a significantly adverse affect on the overall value of our home. After a period of time it becomes very difficult to even see the floor, let alone clean it and there can be quite a mess. To look after it as much as you can, garage sealing could be a great investment for you.
Be prepared when you set out to undertake garage sealing as it is not a relatively easy task. To start off with you will have to remove everything from the room and ensure that it is not going to rain for a period of time as you will almost always have to resort to temporary storage on your driveway.
Even though garage sealing will do a lot for those annoying problems of concrete dust, spills, oil stains, road salt and general street residue, you must be prepared for a major task. While your home's value will be increased, there are other ways which are less costly and take less effort.
Before you start garage sealing, you will need to scrub the floor with concrete cleaners and degreasers, using a high-pressure hose as well. This can be backbreaking work as you may have to treat some areas several times before you are satisfied.
You will need to allocate at least one day to the preparation of your room before you start garage sealing. This will enable you to get rid of all the pre-existing stains, including stubborn ones and to let the area dry in preparation for the next stage.
Note that during garage sealing, the product will stain any surface that comes up against. Use a paint roller and protect the walls with paper and tape. Work from the back of the room to the front and make sure that the edges are clean, especially when it comes to the threshold with the driveway.
Absorbent pads can be placed beneath the vehicles you park inside to absorb any nasty stains, fluids or other leaks that would otherwise make a mess on the floor. This can be a significantly easier alternative than going through the process of garage sealing, especially if you are somewhat frail. - 29956
