Easiest and quickest way to remove drywall mud from my concrete slab?

Drywallers came in early before I got the floors covered and made a mess of my slab. Now I'm ready to lay ceramic and laminate floors but need to get all that mud up. Any Suggestions besides manually scraping it?

WATER... drywall mud is water soluable...use a drywall knife or scraper...and a hose.

manually scraping

You can buy a long handle scraper at hardware stores, Lowes, HomeDepot. They use sharp blades, like a razor.

That's it. No easy way.

Stop payment on drywall check until they clean up their mess.

The drywallers didn't clean up after themselves?
You paid for a professional service, you deserve a professional result.
Have the contractor that made the mess clean it up.
Scraping is the way to do it.

mop the mess and suck it up with a wet vac.
