Avoid using Muriatic Acid, unless it's diluted 50/50 or more.
If you use it in too concentrated a solution, it will etch your nicely finished concrete, making it look like 60 grit sandpaper, or worse yet, may take chunks of concrete off, making it look like your sidewalk did after mistakenly using Road Salt to de-ice it in the winter.
After using your solution, scrubbing LIGHTLY, immediately wet-vac
it, rinse w/ cold water, and wet vac that. Chances are, That will be the cleanest spot in the entire garage. Also, use powered ventilation, such as one or more Box fans, one to force fresh air into the garage, and another to help draw the fumes out.
Speaking from experience (cleaning the deep end of an outdoor pool where I thought I had adequate ventilation(total dead air space), you can't believe how much those fumes can burn your nose, throat, lungs, and sting where you have a cut )
Be Careful!!!
