Lori Johansen on Dec 10, 2015Staining wood is a common home improvement project and as such, cleaning up the stain is also a common problem. Here are some methods that can be used to remove the stain from the concrete. Muriatic Acid MethodYou Will Need:Muriatic Acid (aka Hydrochloric acid)Rubber glovesProtective eyewearWaterBucketConcrete sealantSteps to Remove the Stain:Begin by taking the necessary precautions to protect yourself against the harmful acids. Wear old clothing,rubber gloves and protective eyewear.Mix one part muriatic acid with 20 parts water in a bucket.Clean the stain off with the mixture.If the stain is not removed, strengthen the mixture by one part (1 part acid with 19 parts water). Continue making the solution stronger until the stains are removed.Once removed, rinse the area thoroughly with clean water.There will be a powdery residue from the acid that can be washed away with water.The cement will now be stripped. To prevent future staining, apply a concrete sealant following the manufacturer’s instructions.Bleaching MethodYou Will Need:Oxalic Acid (aka wood bleach)Rubber glovesProtective eyewearWaterBucketLong handled scrub brushSteps to Remove the Stain:Though this method uses bleach, it does not utilize household bleach.
