I would pressure wash the residue and wait for it to dry out and see if it returns before I waste money on any sealer or stabiliser.

It’s Uri Gagarin’s anniversary tomorrow I’ve visited his resting place in the wall of the Kremlin, not far from Lenin’s tomb. Just saying like. |

Is that the fella who bent spoons? I use this stuff to stop my stone walls spalling. I don't know if it would stand up to footfalls.  |

Generally speaking a concrete floor will be prone to being dusty. As above, a wet mix makes it worse as the top layer is therefore quite weak.
What they do in warehouses or similar with a bare concrete floor is apply a layer of screed on the top. For a near perfect finish a concrete polisher can be hired.
I've found that most surface treatments don't stick too well to the potentially dusty floor and come off fairly soon.

My late father in law was a builder though plasterer by trade. He always had a jimmy in the concrete or render mix in winter to offset any problems due to freezing conditions etc. No idea if this was true, maybe he was taking the piss ? It retards the going off, a good way to pee off a spread who wants to get home on time.
I got a load of very cheap sharp sand from a local concrete crushing yard, I used it as the sub base for block paving, it stunk of urine probably horse pee, I made the mistake of using it for the concrete mix for the haunchings and it took literally months to go off and harden but when it did it hardened like rock.
