How to remove concrete sealer?

You must remove concrete sealer if you plan to do anything to your concrete besides applying another coat of sealer. For textured or broom finished surfaces, this can be a real hassle. Grinding off the finish is usually the easiest way to remove concrete sealer from a rough surface. Chemical strippers will get some of it but not all without vigorous scrubbing.

For smooth concrete surfaces, chemical strippers work much better. You can spread it over the surface, let it sit for several minutes and then scrape it off. Some of the best products for this are a new generation of soy based strippers. Not only do they work but they are environmentally safe and 100% biodegradable. Eco Safety Products is one of the few suppliers of these products.

I strongly recommend the soy strippers. Not only do they work, but they get the job done with few safety concerns. Other chemical strippers can produce very harmful fumes and they stink up the house.
