Can't catch a break I swear

My kids for some reason dipped sticks in a 5 gallon paint bucket and carried the paint soaked sticks all over the driveway and garage. What is the easiest way to clean up the paint?
Oh yeah the realtor is coming Wednesday

Simple green mixed with water and a stiff bristled push broom. If you have a power washer to use the mentioned it really cleans up fast.

Did they write "For Sale"? whistle

I would have your kids help with the paint removal. It will make them more considerate.

Purple Power Cleaner works real good on paint and scrub it with a hard bristle brush

If the above doesn’t work, try Aircraft paint remover...it’s nasty stuff but it works..used it to strip a lot of old paint off body panels..

Don’t by the Walmart junk..Best I could get my hands on locally was made by Klean Strip...

No purple power at lowes bought some paint stripper which didn't do much. Looks like home depot has some purple power in stock I'll go tomorrow.

What kind of stripper did you use? The environmentally friendly stuff is garbage in most cases..
If your kids are going to clean it up don’t use Aircraft stripper it’s nasty..

I got "professional grade" non eco friendly kind. I didn't do the aircraft stripper because I know how brutal it is and wanted them to clean it.

Jk I honestly considered it even though I have a mile long list of stuff to do. I was looking at the garage floor coat system

Got it figured out last night.
After 3 + hour soaking, scrub, let sit 30 minutes, lightly wet with water, scrub then spray off with water.
After the driveway was done I put the trash cans out and saw the sidewalk was also painted. The kids are now finishing the sidewalk.

If the drive is asphalt you gotta be careful not to use a petroleum base solvent.

If you live near Sante Fe that would have upped the price on your house with the "Modern Art".

I really hope you got a picture of the mess with the guilty involved, one day you will look back and laugh about it.

Big Bob, it is concrete.
Cathouse Jim, I'm about 40 minutes away from Santa Fe. Yes that's very true. LOL I really wish I would've taken pictures I was livid and in way too much pain to think about that lol.

When my boys were young my wife and I went out while my brother watched them. I got home to find the boys had written what appeared to be bird feet prints, each just 3 little hash marks, all over the basement with permanent black marker. Turns out they were arrows and part of some game they made up. In case you ever need to know, denatured alcohol removes black marker. My youngest is 23 now and to this day I still find a birds footprint in the basement. I don’t remove them anymore smile

Timber Hole - I was waiting for other stories to appear. My son was a hole digging son of a gun when he was young. I would come home and find a major crater in the back yard. I always told him he was going to end up in China if he wasn't careful. Funny I remember my Dad telling me the same thing. He is grown and away from home serving in the US Navy (I figured he would go Army infantry) I have been caretaking his dog and a few days ago I went out and she had dug a huge deep hole. I was talking to my son and told him about the dog's crime and said if she digs that hole any bigger it will be hers forever, his reply was - well that is if the Chinese don't get her first! grin

Sorry Adam, for deviating from your question but once those kids are grown you will really miss their shenanigans.

Timber Hole, I bet that brings a chuckle to you everytime you find one now. About 2 months ago my daughter made a hop scotch with dry erase markers on the driveway, it's almost gone now.

Lol Cathouse Jim, tell him thanks for his service. By chance is he a gunnery? I will miss the shenanigans for sure when they are older.
