I don't want to acid clean it or get a professional concrete grinding company to come in.

You can clean it with some type of detergent or degreaser. Why are you opposed to acid? It's just muriatic acid that you get at home depot for $5 a gallon. Pour it on and scrub the floor with a scrub brush. The rinse with lots of water and after that baking soda - that's it. Let the floor dry a couple of days and best to run some fans as it needs to be perfectly dry. For tools, you definately need spiked shoes that you wear over your reg shoes. Also get the large 18" rollers and a long roller pole, and a large squeegy.
I bought the complete kit that included tools but the tools were so chinsy, that I bought all the right stuff from Home Depot.
Not me - my friend helping me:
