Anyone in the concrete industry knows how difficult removing built-up concrete on tools and equipment can be. Many turn to muriatic acid to do the cleaning but this chemical is dangerous to those using it and anyone close enough to inhale its fumes. It's also highly corrosive and will damage many of your tools.

There are safer, organic-acid based alternatives that actually do a better job. Blast-Off, for example, is made from sugar beets and it turns caked-on concrete to mush that easily washes away. And Blast-Off is safe to use on all surfaces, even rubber, glass, metal, and electrical components.

Right now, much of the country is experiencing a never-ending winter. But the days are getting longer and the temperatures will (eventually) rise. It won't be long before you're spending more time outdoors. Does your patio need some freshening up? It may be time to think about removing old acrylic sealer, especially if it's been several years since its application.

Acrylic sealers will appear blistered, chalky and cloudy after several years, but stripping them can be messy, laborious, and even hazardous depending on the method you use.

A blanket stripper method makes removing the acrylic sealer from your patio easy, clean and effective. In just 3 steps, you can remove the old, worn-out acrylic sealer and be ready to reapply a fresh coat. Our very own Deco-Peel blanket system is an easy-to-use, highly effective stripper for acrylic sealers.
