clean up battery acid?
HI, My electric golf cart spilled battery acid onto the garage floor due to me overfilling it. Duh. How can I clean up the dried acid. The floor is the original concrete--nothing fancy. Thanks.

“ Neutralize the Acid To clean sulfuric acid, use a solution of one pound of baking soda per gallon of water. Apply with a cloth or sponge, and avoid splashing or spreading the acid. Use mild acids, such as lemon juice or vinegar, for alkaline batteries, and dab the spill area with a cloth.Apr 3, 2023” You may not need a gallon |

I would liberally sprinkle baking soda onto the spill directly. Let it sit for 5 minutes and then mop it up with water. Using neoprene gloves while mopping up the spill would be wise.

same thing happened to me when I first moved here. No one told me about the overflow. But it happened on my painted driveway. Had to have the whole driveway sandblasted and re-painted. Only way to fix it.

Pault585, first thing is sounds like your overfilling your battery, you only put enough water in your battery to the bottom of the fill caps where you see the rings. I’m surprised you have any electrolytes ( battery acid) left in your battery. You better get you battery check for electrolyte levels!

For me it was Junior High, and it involved a beaker, a copper penny, wires, a lightbulb, and HCL. And always a jar of baking soda on the counter.
