The brush you will use and the required amount of scrub can be found at a local home improvement store or online. Turn on the pump according to the manufacturer's directions. Do not try to get the most aggressive acids or alkaline chemicals. Find an approved cleaner, perhaps at a local janitorial supply house. A mop-bucket or other suitable container that is large enough to help raise the nozzle of the cleaner slowly. Spray the surface lightly with the cleaning solution. A wet/dry vacuum is a more elaborate machine that holds only water and adhesives. Just shake the hose occasionally to get rid of scum.
