    I have a concrete floor in my shed which is doesn't have a smooth floor and I want to just have something that will make it easier to keep clean.

    Any suggestion for suitable products to use or peoples experience with self leveling compounds?

    I would clean/prime and paint it with proper industrial grade paint, assuming it is 100% dry and has a proper dpc
    Screed will be too thin not to break.

    Screed is a pain in the jocks tbh.

    Either paint it as suggested above.

    Or get some 18mm Ply or OSB and put it down.

    Personally id do the OSB. Then seal it.

    The self leveling compound will not stand up to shed usage (assuming it's a used shed with things being dropped and dragged around).

    As suggested paint or cover with wood. The OPs requirements are to make it easier to clean. Not make it level.

    I have self levelled my garage & its fine. I am doing a lot of moving around as i am also plastering the walls with sand and cement & there is a lot of stuff in there.I have not painted it will do when the plastering is finished but it is easier to clean as it is now. When painted there wont be half the dust around.
