What do you recommend not to use for cleaning a concrete floor?

Do not use any Bleach Based or Citrus Based Cleaners on a concrete floor.

Should I add retarding agents to the concrete mix?

Do NOT add any retarding agents to a concrete mix that is going to be ground and sealed or polished. Retarding agents WILL affect the seal and may react badly with the polishing process. Simply apply a light sprinkle of water to the slab as required.

We have a tiled floor but they are old and don't look very good. We are thinking of going polished concrete but how do we get all the glue off and do we have to pour new concrete on top of the mess that will be underneath the tiles?

Usually this is not required, once the tiles have been removed the remaining glue and mess can be ground to a brand new surface. However there can be exceptions.

What does exposure mean?

Exposure is the amount of aggregate (rock, quartz, pebble etc) that is able to be seen as a result of the grinding process.
