]]> Comment on My aggregate concrete with a sealer was cleaned with mineral turpentine. There are now big brown stains. Help? by Abdu Rahim http://www.concretesealerhq.com/concrete-sealer/my-aggregate-concrete-with-a-sealer-was-cleaned-with-mineral-turpentine-there-are-now-big-brown-stains-help/comment-page-1/#comment-727 Abdu Rahim Fri, 02 Apr 2010 11:52:59 +0000 http://concretesealerhq.com/concrete-sealer/my-aggregate-concrete-with-a-sealer-was-cleaned-with-mineral-turpentine-there-are-now-big-brown-stains-help#comment-727 Muriatic Acid, a mix of sulfuric and hydrochloric acids, will eat away the stained concrete. This will do the trick provided the stains aren't too deep. WARNING: This stuff can be deadly! Wear goggles, rubber gloves (the heavy plastic kitchen gloves are good, but NOT latex exam gloves!) and a respirator specifically designed for these fumes! Also, you will want to wear a PVC rain suit so none gets on your skin. Any in your eyes, you're blind; if you breath the fumes, you sizzle your lungs and gurgle when you breath for the rest of your life, if you get really unlucky, you may only need to carry an oxygen bottle. On the skin, you'll get one heck of a burn! There is a good reason I charge loads when I play with this stuff! I am not trying to scare you into not using it, but if you do decide to, I hope I have scared you into treating it with the respect it deserves. Oh, you said it was aggregate concrete? Is it an exposed aggregate, where the rocks are showing at the surface? If so, and they are stained, then the stained rocks may need to come out. This is next to impossible without ripping out the concrete and pouring fresh. If it isn't an exposed aggregate, it may well turn into one with the application of the muriatic acid. It may well be easier (and a darn sight safer!) to call a concrete polishing company to smooth it down and coat it...<br><b>References : </b><br> Muriatic Acid, a mix of sulfuric and hydrochloric acids, will eat away the stained concrete.
