How Do You Remove The Paint From A Cement Floor And Repaint It?

0

If you want to have the floor of your home to look fresh, you will need to remove paint from the concrete or cement floor and repaint it. Removing the old paint helps keep the new paint job from cracking or flaking. Prepare to get messy with paint and debris, will happen with many outdoor jobs. Use a power wash to clean off your external cement floor before removing paint. Because it can cause damage to the concrete, use the power wash with care or hire a professional. For internal cement floors, use a stripping agent instead of a power wash. Stripping agents have toxic properties; wear goggles and protective clothing in the form of long sleeves and a long pair of pants when handling them, and get rid of any excess as soon as possible. Use a metal scraper or putty knife to get rid of any loose paint. Remove any debris on the surface or in any cracks on the cement floor. Repair any cracks with filler. Dispose of all the loose paint you have stripped. Use sandpaper to smooth out the area
