Paint Remover for Concrete?

[delikid]

Hello All,

We just closed on our new house Friday. Sunday, I was moving some paint cans in a box (you know what's coming) and the bottom busted open... and a can hit and opened on the concrete floor...

The floor is not sealed. I'm sure that means the paint soaked into the concrete some.

SO... I'm hoping all you smart folks out there know of a paint remover I can get over the counter, other than something like Methylene Chloride. If MC is the only thing that will get all the paint off, then I'll have to use it. But, I'd prefer not too.

Any wisdom you can offer is appreciated!

Cheers,

Ian

What about normal paint stripper from the hardware store?

Well, I wasn't sure if there was something spefific for concrete. If I'm gonna have to break my neck scrubbing the concrete to get the paint off, I wanna use something that is intended for that job, ya know?

Point well taken, if there is something better to use for the task I am not familiar with it.

High pressure washer with a 10 or 15* tip on it.

I second both suggestions. If it is fresh, the pressure washer will likely take most of it - especially if it is water based.
