firstly, you need to figure out what kind of concrete it is. if it looks super shiny, like you could see your reflection in it, its probably polished. If its a bit shiny its likely sealed. Stained concrete will have color mixed right into it. no matter what kind you have you should just use a gentle cleaner. Polished floors are really easy to clean with just a plain mop. sealed floors will need a new coat of sealer every once in a while. Just make sure to wipe up spills quickly and dont use anything too strong on it.

@meth0dman6k2 it's shiny yes! I guess I just need to clean it like always, right? no need to give special treatment

Props to @meth0dman6k2 for the comprehensive method lol I was gonna say the same but yeah. Anwyay, for the dailies, just sweep or dust mop the debris. then every week you need to mop. Then for protection from stain, the guy is right do sealing.

That's the way to go yes, constant cleaning will keep you away from any extended effort and cost.
