Hi Partners,
This consumers question is quite long. If you have some ideas please respond.
Thanks much for your help.
Hi, I have recently renovated a 1960's ranch home with a flagstone
entryway. Painters left several areas on floor with paint and did not
clean it up. Didn't bother calling them to clean it...had enough of
them in my house!
After looking online (wish I found your website first!!), I first
scraped off what I could, then applied goof off in a few areas. It did
not completely take it off so then rather sloppily put rubbing alcohol
on the floor and it spread all over the floor. BIG mistake! The white
paint spread all over the floor. I called several places and ended up
going to a tile store and bought Indigo Scrub-it took most of the deep
staining out but there is still some white peeping through on both the
grout and stone. Before doing anything else, what do you recommend? I
have cleaned the floor with warm water to make sure all the Indigo Scrub
is off and if possible want to get the flagstone back to where there is
not white residue. The grout is colored so did not use any hydrogen
peroxide. If I have to apply the polstice, I'll want to do the entire
entryway since there was quite a bit of paint...hence a lot of
'etching'.
I'd rather not re-do the whole floor so wondering if anything else will
pull out the remaining white in the stone. I could apply the Indigo
Scrub again if needed before finally sealing the stone.
Thank you!
Karen
