For best results, etch your floors with muriatic acid. Then, purchase a stain or multiple stains(for color variation) from a store specializing in concrete stain. I strongly advise not using stains purchased at a home improvement store. The stain tends to fade quickly. Do ask your concrete stain specialist for their advice on staining techniques and/or research how-to's on Youtube. Finish with a clear poly for concrete if you wish. Note: Be very careful not to expose the muratic acid to your skin or around pets. Also use a breathing apparatus. It is always best to consult with a specialist before tackling this project.

Kewe Google Miracle Grow online and see all the ways to use this to stain concrete and then seal the floor. The ones I have seen done this way are really beautiful. Yours in art, Pamela

Think about it. Concrete stains like crazy naturally. It won't take much, just how do you control it? Prep is prime. Selection of how you want it to look second. Third seal, seal seal, as it will keep staining by nature. (notice: repeated the word 'seal' multiple times)
