How Do You Remove Concrete Floor Paint?
There is no easy way to remove concrete paint from floors, but with some paint stripper and some hard work, you can bring even a floor covered with many layers of paint back to its original glory. Clean the floor with tri-sodium phosphate cleaner (TSP) before starting the stripping process if there is grease or a lot of dirt on the floor. A very dirty or greasy floor can hamper the efficiency of the chemical paint stripper. Read and observe all warnings and directions on the paint stripper label. This is a toxic and often flammable substance. Some brands are nonflammable, although they may not be quite as effective. In some cases it may be illegal to dispose of the old paint and residue from the stripping process with the regular trash. Check with your waste removal company and have some heavy duty contractor trash bags on hand for the waste product. Make sure the area you are working in is well ventilated. If working in an enclosed space like a basement, open windows and use fans. Tur
