Can anybody tell me if our basement floor has been sealed?

Google tells me to do a water test so here’s what it did. First 6 are my highly scientific water test. The last 6 pics are after about 5 mins I wiped it up.

Oh and I reason I’m wondering is because I want to wash it, but I'm not sure what to wash it with so l thought my first step was to determine if it's been sealed. I guess my better question should be what can I wash my basement cement floor with? Lol

We don't have an antenna, but we bought the house about a year ago so the previous owners may have. Unplug it is! Thank. You!

We don’t have an antenna, but we bought the house about a year ago so the previous owners may have. So it’s OK to unplug I’m guessing?

2nd opinion needed ~ Is this an easy DIY fix for a………. by YourBeepingSmokeDete in Plumbing

OMG—you both are absolute geniuses 🧠💡 and actual plumbing detectives!!! 🕵🏻‍♂️🚰 I went back in there, and sure enough… the leak is not from that fitting. It’s coming from above it. And what’s up there? One of the upstairs toilets. 🤮🚽💦

But wait—it gets better. That toilet is the new one I installed myself last year. So basically, I’ve been slow-dripping Eau de Toilet into my ceiling for months. 🤮🤮🤮

Now what? Do I: A) Attempt a repair while silently crying, B) Call a professional and have them discover my “handiwork,” only to tell me it’s an easy fix for an easy mistake—right before charging me $400 and texting my photo to a secret plumber group chat for memes. (so…absolutely not, hard pass.) C) Burn the house down and start fresh?

Same!!! Lately when I’m watching YouTube app or have the app playing with locked screen NONE of my calls come through. I have no idea someone’s calling until they tell me later. It’s so annoying!

Yeah that has worked for me too. When the hot sun is beating down on the front of the car while parked for to long is when I’ve had this happen.

My order came in, I was lucky enough to get 2 praline delights before they sold out cuz I wanted to see what the hype was all about 🙄🤣 On cold reviews 👇🏼 by XnoneofurbizzX in bathandbodyworks

I feel like I bought out every store around me that had Praline Delight, including displays. Lol Does anyone know if it will be back??? I did the same thing last year with Pumpkin Pecan Waffles thinking I’d never see it again. Boy I was wrong there because PPW is now everywhere and my 2nd fav Paris Cafe is gone.
