The present disclosure relates to a concentrated acidic floor cleaner and methods of using it to clean floors. The concentrated acidic floor cleaner can be diluted to form a use solution that is effective at removing polymerized grease, including animal and vegetable fats and non-trans fats, and other soils from floors. The use solution is especially useful for cleaning floors in commercial kitchens of full service and quick service restaurants and is effective on a variety of floors, including quarry tile.

A method of cleaning an uncoated surface includes providing a composition having a pH of between about 7 and about 11 and applying the composition to the uncoated surface. The composition includes a fatty acid salt constituting between about 5% and about 40% by weight of the composition, a gloss-enhancing agent constituting between about 0.1% and 20% by weight of the composition, an anti-slip agent constituting between about 0.5% and about 10% by weight of the composition, and water constituting between about 20% and about 94.6% by weight of the composition. The composition can be applied at least three times a week.
