How do you prepare cement floors to acid stain after removing carpet?

I am pulling my old carpet and want to acid stain the cement instead of new carpet. What's the best way to clean and prep the floor in order to do that?

Go over the area thoroughly with a wet mop and plenty of fresh, clean water. Allow the surface to dry completely before proceeding with acid staining. Floor prep is hard work, it's messy, and it takes some time, but it's worth the effort to be sure your decorative concrete installation lasts.
we used an eco-friendly stain for our concrete pad in our lanai, no acid prep. it was called sure-crete.
