This portion of the clean up will take some man power. You will need six to eight people to grab hand squeegees and start walking. Hosing the paint down toward the exit will help flush the concrete, and aligning your squeegees will help speed up the process. After the majority of the paint and water is cleared from the concrete, it's time to bring out the floor scrubber. It's recommended to simply use warm water. If you have contaminants on the slab, a Tri Sodium Phosphate (TPS) cleaner is best to use. Always do a final wash with the floor scrubber and clean water.
