I think the problem with that Roomba series is that they require disposable cleaning pads. I remember there was an older model that you'd fill with tap water, that seems to be gone now.
Probably better to install a fan with a timer that helps drying the floor after someone pulls in.

no one in the family parks in my garage, actually they are not allowed to enter the garage. i go in through garage, the rest of the family use the front door.

i mop the floor every other day.

my is polished concrete, much like the interior of the whole house, i walk barefoot in garage or in the house. feels like marble.

I use this device. The picture is on Porcelain tile in my Garage at home, but the floor in my hanger is epoxy. I have different pads sets for for different flooring materials. I follow up with a microfibre hand moping to get some of the small lines the machine leaves behind, mainly in the corners. One fresh water/soap tank and one dirty water collection tank, both easy to revove.

It has a good sized gell cell battery I can do my 3000 sq-ft hanger and use only 25% of the battery. The hanger requires two tanks of water

Sorry the floor in this pic was a tad dirty, it is hard in the winter up here to keep the floors in really good shape.

Primarily a washer. But using different pads and solutions it can polish also. I think if you Google Adance SC351 you will find all the specs on the unit. I like the size of the SC351 as I can transport it in the back of my station wagons, or truck, beteween the hanger and my garage at home.

Good stuff.

I am building a car club/warehouse in Redmond. Look me up when you fill up your new garage!

Plans/elevations getting finished up and then have to get HOA/city to sign off. I've heard the latter is pretty easy in my neighborhood since the garage is attached. Wife is getting her expanded laundry room/pantry/mud room blown out to attach to garage so she's fully on board with the project. Going with a single lift to start out with.

Builder sent me over this horrible photoshop job with my dirty driveway. Got me excited though!
