| | How to clean shoe spray off concrete
Does anyone know how to clean shoe spray off concrete floor? The spray I used is for waterproofing winter shoes. There is a patch on the floor now.
Thank you all in advance |

Put newspaper down on the floor before you spray your shoes.
You're welcome in advance.

Your best bet is probably to gently sand the stained patch, tbh.
There are commercial products for stripping concrete sealant off driveways which would probably also work, but they come in driveway-sized bottles.

Out of interest (because I am that sad), I just did a bit of googling on the subject. There's a possibility that a strong solution of washing-up liquid in hot water and a stiff bristle brush might shift it. I'd try that first, since it won't hurt the concrete anyway. You might also give laundry powder solution a try - that's my go-to cleaner for grill pans…

Happy days.
Thanks all.

Spray the rest of the concrete with the same spray. Now it all looks the same, just like you cleaned it. Concrete is now waterproof too, bonus..
You're welcome |

Not tried a steam cleaner on this particular problem, but having used one on many other things it often removes dirt and stains that are otherwise difficult to remove.

Aldi have hand steam cleaners for 20 or less (can't remember).
Otherwise sacrifice a goat over the spot and the blood will hide the polish stain.

Track down the elusive artist known as Banksy and convince him to spray paint an anti-capitalist mural on your concrete floor. Once he's done, take a picture and put it on EBay with the condition that the buyer repairs any damage related to extricating the work of art.
......would be my simplest guess

I would also be pissed off if I was your neighbour.
