Latex paint on shop floor HELP
 

Got done painting my shop , well, I thought I was doing pretty good as I put
drop cloths down everywhere. Well, evidently the step ladder ripped a hole
in one cloth. I went and picked up all the cloths and I have a big spot of
paint that seeped throuigh the hole in the cloth.
Is there any secrets to removing latex paint from a cement floor ?
Or any products out there that do a good job ?
Thanks,

Denatured alcohol, Goof off, paint remover, old vodka, gin etc . Even
soap and water, wet a soapy towel leave it sit for hours it will loosen.
Sooner the better before it cures.

I am afreaid it has probably already cured as it has been a couple of days.
Is there still hope ?
Have to go to work right now and will try something tonight.

Goof Off pulled up small spots in the garage. Too pricey for large
area though. I'd try alcohol, acetone then lacquer thinner to test,
each one alone without mixing a concoction of who knows what.

A couple days is not long - the paint isn't cured. m Ransley has the
right idea. Try the denatured alcohol first - I'm sure its cheaper than
Goof Off, though I like Goof Off.

Either way, you'll need a good stiff scrub brush.

tip: If I don't know whether existing paint is latex or oil, I use
denatured alcohol. Denatured alcohol will cut into the latex but not
the oil-based.
