    Sealing a concrete floor

    We concreted a floor in a shed recently to create a wedding venue but it is a bit dusty so we were thinking of sealing it in some way. Any suggestions, ideally something we can do ourselves and leaves a matt finish and won't make it slippery if someone spills their beer!

    Just thinking about putting in one of those hand held pneumatic/electric brush teat cleaners jobs in our rotary and wondered what the general experience on here was. Good, bad indifferent? The cost saving v. wet wipes would pay for it over time.
