What is the easiest way to remove paint from concrete?

Answer 1

muratic acid it smells really bad if u use it make sure you are in a well ventelated area or pressure wash!

Answer 2

I powerwashed concrete and oil based paints are very difficult to remove because the concrete finish is gritty, the oil flows into everything.Don't sandblast! all you' end up with is a rock that has concrete color. By far the best way is to use a pressure washer. The other methods of chemical stripping is dangerous to not only you but everything around you as well. If you absolutly must use chemicals; use muriatic acid . But again, if you set your power washer to the highest pressure you can get the same effect if not better!

Answer 3

Depending on where the concrete is located and what type of paint it is. If it is latex paint and you can use a powerwasher it will take it up with no problem. If you can not use a power washer then try goo-gone and a scrub brush. If it is a oil based paint or stain then use muratic acid. Make sure you use all the proper safety gear. Safety glasses, rubber gloves, and a resperator or make sure the area is well ventalated. You can get the acid at any hardware or pool supply.
