Is the floor so unlevel that the built in leveling legs of the washer cannot
make up for it. They should be able to compensate for approximately inch
out of true in any direction.
If the floor is that out of whack then you should just pull the washer
aside. Build a form out of some 2x4s in the washer (and dryer maybe) area
and level with either normal bagged concrete mix or a self leveling concrete
mix. Shouldn't cost more than $10 and a few hours if you can DIY. Not much
more prep of the old floor is needed beyond a thorough cleaning (can't have
any soap, loose material). A wire brush, pressure washer or even a brick
can be used to sand the area clean.
