Concrete is a hard and durable building material. It is also porous and susceptible to staining. Unpainted or unsealed concrete can quickly become unsightly due to oil, grease, trees, birds or other agents. How do you remove stains from concrete?
Interesting Q & A Mr. Shravan. According to me stains can be removed from concrete with dry or mechanical methods, or by wet methods using chemical or water. 'Common dry' methods include sandblasting, flame cleaning and shotblasting, grinding, scabbing, planing and scouring. Steel-wire brushes should be used with care because they can leave metal particles on the surface that later may rust and stain the concrete. 'Wet methods' involve the application of water or specific chemicals according to the nature of the stain. The chemical treatment either dissolves the staining substance so it can be blotted up from the surface of the concrete or bleaches the staining substance so it will not show.
