When we moved into our first house last year, I was more excited about owning a garage than the rest of the house :-). The garage was nothing special, but after years in apartments, I was thrilled to have it.
The floor was dusty when we moved in, and I thought no problem; I'll sweep it. When I swept it and it was still dusty, I thought no problem; I'll hose it out. When I hosed it out and it was still dusty, I learned that it would always be a bit dusty unless I specifically addressed the problem. Our car interiors are black, so having light colored dust on our shoes every time we get in the car was not something I wanted to live with.
I did a ton of reading, mostly on http://allgaragefloors.com/ and the Garage Journal forum, and here's what I eventually decided to do.
