PRIME the concrete with a concrete primer (if you don't the mural paint probably won't stick that long) and let that dry thoroughly. do your mural!<br><b>References : </b><br> i’d transport some water there. use a semi-rigid brush, water, and some concrete cleaner (check out Thompson, they make one) to scrub the concrete.

Edit: I can't believe that YA won't let me write the brand-name of a common cleaning product, "Spick 'n Span" beause it thinks I'm using an ethnic slur.
