Acid Stain Concrete Basement Floor: How to Add Color and Character to Your Space<\/h1>\n

By Kimberly Raley<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ offset=”vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1673756017387{margin-top: 0px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}”]Acid staining your concrete basement floor is a great way to add color and character to your space. In this blog post, we will share our experience on how we acid stained our concrete basement floor for the second time. We’ve learned a lot from our first DIY project and we made sure to avoid the mistakes we made the first time around<\/a>. We were able to complete the project in about a week, working on it in between our work schedule and allowing for drying time. We were able to save some money by reusing materials from our first project such as the sealer, wax, and spiked shoes, and only had to purchase new items like the acid stain, etching solution, and cleaning products. Join us as we guide you through the process of acid staining your concrete basement floor.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”98289″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_tta_accordion section_title_tag=”h3″ style=”modern” color=”blue” c_icon=”” active_section=”100″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true”][vc_tta_section i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-chevron-down” add_icon=”true” title=”View Products Used” tab_id=”1615755153137-08c592a6-cd36dff1-8de7dd1b-0fb5″][vc_row_inner gap=”10″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”96925″ img_size=”150×150″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/directcolors.com\/hard-troweled-floor-pre-treatment\/”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”96003″ img_size=”150×150″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/directcolors.com\/concrete-cleaner-degreaser\/”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”95313″ img_size=”150×150″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/directcolors.com\/proclean-neutralizer\/”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner gap=”10″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”86919″ img_size=”150×150″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/directcolors.com\/acid-stain\/?product_code=DC-CAS&variant_id=23201″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”92623″ img_size=”150×150″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/directcolors.com\/acid-stain\/?product_code=DC-CAS&variant_id=23203″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”95653″ img_size=”150×150″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/directcolors.com\/dci-water-based-concrete-sealer\/”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”96962″ img_size=”150×150″ add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_circle” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” link=”https:\/\/directcolors.com\/residential-concrete-floor-wax\/”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/4″][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Step 1: Prepare Concrete Floor” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:24|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]The first step in acid staining your concrete basement floor is to prepare the surface.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]1.

  1. Spray Base Color<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \u201cThen the fun began. We decided to use the wet-on-dry acid staining technique<\/a><\/strong>. We applied the Azure Blue first and let it dry for about five hours.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”93793″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_single_image image=”93792″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]2. Spray Accent Color<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe decided to go sparingly on the brown and only used half of what we ordered. The coffee brown is a very rich color and definitely dominant. Perhaps we will use up our leftovers by staining the storage section of the basement.\ud83e\udd14\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”93790″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]For more detailed information and techniques, read How to Layer Two Acid Stain Colors.<\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”93791″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]For information on how long to leave the acid stain on the concrete, refer to our guide “How Long to Leave Acid Stain on Concrete<\/a><\/strong>“[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1596185856416{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/4″][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Step 3: Neutralize Acid Stain.” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:24|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]\u201cOur basement is sectioned off into 3 spaces; the 400 square foot rec room, 300 square foot laundry\/workout area, and a large 638 square foot storage area which could be converted into a garage.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”93797″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]\u201cBack to explaining the project \u2026 We neutralized with a 2-gallon bucket of water and baking soda, pushing it with a sponge mop. We cleaned up with more cleaner and degreaser, first doing a couple rinses with a water hose before scrubbing it down.\u201d \u201cTotal cleaning\/rinsing took about 6 times as opposed to over 20+ the last time.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”98288″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]For more details on neutralizing acid stain, check our guide “How to Neutralize Concrete Acid Stain”<\/a><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1596185856416{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/4″][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Step 4.

They\u2019re nearly odorless and will be safe to apply if your family or pets are in the home<\/a>.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\u201cAfter the floors were thoroughly dry, the first coat of sealant was applied. We used a sprayer and squeegee to spread it\u2026 pushing it mostly forward to limit marks or lines.\u201d[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]1. Apply First Coat on surface in slightly circular motions with irregular overlaps. Spray thin coats to avoid puddling and let dry for 12 hours.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”93796″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]2. Apply Second Coat following same method.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”93795″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Pro-Tip:<\/strong> To ensure that your water-based sealer is fully cured and has been applied correctly, it should be clear and non-milky. Also, check that the sealer is completely dry to the touch and does not leave any fingerprints.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1596185856416{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/4″][vc_empty_space][vc_custom_heading text=”Step 5: Concrete Floor Wax Application” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:24|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Apply the first coat: Soak the trim pad applicator in warm water, wring out the excess water, pour ProWax Polish into a paint tray, saturate the trim pad with the concrete wax solution, press out the excess wax, apply a thin milky coat across the floor surface. The product will appear milky in application but clear as it dries. Smooth out any foaming from the concrete surface and allow it to dry for 12 hours.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”93798″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]2. Apply the second coat: Allow it to dry for 24 hours before using the floor.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”93799″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]By following these steps, you will be able to achieve a beautiful, multi-layered and protected surface on your concrete basement floor.
