Do it Yourself: Re: [DIY] Painting concrete floors

Use a fan on low to ventilate...MA is cheaper, quicker, cleaner....precautions necessary of course..but
after years of struggling with cleaners with poor results, 45 minutes of MA made the concrete look
like new...wish I had taken pics....but house sold .."They loved the grease free drive!!" LOL

Acid in an enclosed area will etch faucets and other
things like
lungs. Try paint thinner and cat litter. Apply the
thinner in
liberal amounts and then cover with litter to absorb the
loosened
oil and grease, repeat as necessary until the grease and
oil is
gone. MEK works too but is highly flammable so I would
not
recommend it for inside use. Do not use vacuum as the
motor can
ignite the fumes from the thinner. Use broom and dust
pan for clean
up. An old two brush floor scrubber will also help in
loosening the
grease and oil. You might also try scrubbing with
Simple Green
instead of thinner, safer but slower and it does remove
grease and
oil. I use it straight and you can use a shop vac
without fear of
starting a fire.

old grease

them I wouldn't have a problem.
Frustrating as I have
nice area rugs but the concrete showing is
downright ugly.
