Why You Shouldn’t Use a Power Washer to Clean Paint From Cement

Peak Pro Painting • April 18, 2016

Paint on cement + power washer = mistake!

Let’s admit it: it’s easy to spill paint sometimes! It’s bound to happen.

If you ever spill or drip paint onto cement, your first instinct might be to grab the power washer and blast it off. A word of warning – don’t try this! Spraying wet paint with a power washer can remove the paint, but it can also leave damage and stains behind.

If you need to clean paint from cement, we recommend using a latex-based paint removal product – like Lift Off – and a brush. Why Lift Off? Check out our previous blog to learn more about one of our most trusted products!
