Moved into a new (to us anyway) house last november, the gargae floor was a right old mess of peeling paint and what looked like a type of mold in certain places on bare concrete. Move forward to this year and I've recently pressure washed the floor to remove as much of the old paint as I can but have noticed the mold has come back.

Now my plan is to hire a concrete sander and give it a damn good sanding to take off the top layer of concrete and then to put a floor sealer down.

My question therefore is, has anyone ever experienced mold on concrete and if so how did you cure it, or could it be something else?

Does the floor have a damp proof membrane under the concrete?

I do not know, there is a damp proof course in the walls though.
