After some recent utility work, our sidewalk was covered in utility marking paint that would not come off. Using Super Clean biodegradable degreaser, a scrub brush and a a pressure washer, I was able to remove 90% of the markings making the sidewalk look good again. #sidewalkcleaning #paintremoval #pressurewashing #thatdadmike

I think these companies should be required to remove their mess after they are done!!!!

@ThatDadMike 3 месяца назад

Agreed. This stuff was not coming off (or even lightening up) after several days before I shot the video.

@latenightwoodworker3283 Год назад

Thank you so much for your help. Came off with ease.

@ThatDadMike Год назад

Perfect, glad the video helped!

Great job Dad!

We removed the same type of markings using just our pressure washer. No chemicals needed.

@ThatDadMike 2 года назад

I wish that were the case on my markings. It seemed like they used a different type of paint this time that was very hard to get off the sidewalk.

@alishasouslesoleil 3 месяца назад

⁠Same here. Pressure washer didn't remove it at all. Usually it washes away over time; I guess they used the wrong paint this time.

@bebegurl35 25 дней назад

Yup pressure washer didn't work for us either unfortunately.

@LosAkiles Месяц назад

What if I don’t have a pressure washer

@ThatDadMike Месяц назад

It should still do pretty good but you may need to use a scrub brush a few times

@sganet_ Год назад

Have you tried brake cleaner? It’ll melt the paint off real quick.

@zaneasherman 7 дней назад

Quick way to kill the grass too which is what he was trying to avoid. But I'm with you, Brake clean is a magical multi-use tool.

@Livereater 3 года назад

nice job!

@zaneasherman 7 дней назад

You just needed a stronger power washer to get the job done. 3,000 PSI or better would have done the job done without chemicals, looks like you're working with about half that.

@ThatDadMike 7 дней назад

This one was about 2700 psi. Higher pressure would have helped for sure.

Thank you!

@ThatDadMike 2 года назад

You're welcome - hopefully the video helps!

@justinw7323 Месяц назад

Utility men are so annoying they just do it to feel like it for whatever reason but then don't fix the marks. They take forever to go away unless you do something about it.

Well then, complaints can made, and perhaps you will be the one to have to clean up the mess you created.

For us it’s illegal to remove/tamper those markings 😂. Can get a company in trouble if they’re marking are not there. We take pictures to have proof we did

@altheayancy8117 Год назад

Why should the homeowner be responsible for removing these mark outs? They were made for VZ to install Fios in my development and instead of using temporary paint, permanent paint was used. It should not be the responsibility of homeowners or associations to remove these.

@ThatDadMike Год назад

Completely agree!

@jimbike8064 Год назад

Those jackssses sprayed that stuff on my driveway. Pressure washer wouldn't get it up.

@s.h8589 Год назад

Yes. That should be fine case. But they don't give a shit about the homeowner. I just called and they told me I have to wait for it to wash off and it's not washing off. I am so pissed at these optim and Suddenlink digging up my yard without asking me. I was told they have the right to the easement. It's bullshit and then I have to have my phone and internet disrupted with no compensation. I can't even afford their wifi and then I get bombarded with their soliciting mail. So angry😡

@alishasouslesoleil 3 месяца назад

In a perfect world, you're right. We were promised so many things by the utility company when they came and moved our gas meters outside, but they lacked follow-through. I called Columbia Gas so many times, and they made so many promises, but ultimately, it was left to me to fix everything (my yard, the spray paint, messy concrete installs).

@ThatDadMike 3 месяца назад

@alishasouslesoleil it's really unfortunate that this happens to be honest.

@sduolcepoh9815 2 года назад

Can it be removed with just the scrubber and grease remover?

@ThatDadMike 2 года назад

You can certainly try. Usually this comes off fairly easy but this time I needed to use the degreaser and pressure washer.
