Why anyone would want spend a couple of quid cleaning 90p concrete slabs is however beyond me. Mine get smashed up for hardcore. Almost as cheap as buying it on ;-) |

Almost as cheap as buying it on ;-) slabs here are £2.38 each B&Q,so it still makes sense to try and clean the grey paint off (was paint suitable for concrete flooring)as some of the paint has flaked off with the power washer,which looks real shabby.I will give nitromos a try though.thanks |

If its oil paint, caustic soda & wallpaper paste, then pressure wash it once soaked. But eye protection is essential, and must keep animals & kids away. NT |
