  • After some recent utility work, our sidewalk was covered in utility marking paint that would not come off. Using Super Clean biodegradable degreaser, a scrub brush and a a pressure washer, I was able to remove 90% of the markings making the sidewalk look good again. #sidewalkcleaning #paintremoval #pressurewashing #thatdadmike

    I think these companies should be required to remove their mess after they are done!!!!

      Agreed. This stuff was not coming off (or even lightening up) after several days before I shot the video.

    Have you tried brake cleaner? It’ll melt the paint off real quick.

    We removed the same type of markings using just our pressure washer. No chemicals needed.

      I wish that were the case on my markings. It seemed like they used a different type of paint this time that was very hard to get off the sidewalk.

      ⁠Same here. Pressure washer didn't remove it at all. Usually it washes away over time; I guess they used the wrong paint this time.

    Can it be removed with just the scrubber and grease remover?

    • @ThatDadMike
      @ThatDadMike  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can certainly try. Usually this comes off fairly easy but this time I needed to use the degreaser and pressure washer.

    Why should the homeowner be responsible for removing these mark outs? They were made for VZ to install Fios in my development and instead of using temporary paint, permanent paint was used. It should not be the responsibility of homeowners or associations to remove these.

      Those jackssses sprayed that stuff on my driveway. Pressure washer wouldn't get it up.

      Yes. That should be fine case. But they don't give a shit about the homeowner. I just called and they told me I have to wait for it to wash off and it's not washing off. I am so pissed at these optim and Suddenlink digging up my yard without asking me. I was told they have the right to the easement. It's bullshit and then I have to have my phone and internet disrupted with no compensation. I can't even afford their wifi and then I get bombarded with their soliciting mail. So angry😡

      In a perfect world, you're right. We were promised so many things by the utility company when they came and moved our gas meters outside, but they lacked follow-through. I called Columbia Gas so many times, and they made so many promises, but ultimately, it was left to me to fix everything (my yard, the spray paint, messy concrete installs).

      @alishasouslesoleil it's really unfortunate that this happens to be honest.

      For us it’s illegal to remove/tamper those markings 😂. Can get a company in trouble if they’re marking are not there. We take pictures to have proof we did
