Can I use my pressure washer to remove paint from concrete porch steps?

Craftsman 2550 psi pressure washer - 6.5 HP.


Nozzle is adjustable - High Pressure or Low Pressure plus


Stream or Fan.





There are two coats of paint on the concrete.


Latex - Light Brown paint with Green (unknown paint type) underneath.





I have accidentally removed paint on otyher materials but never tried intentionally removing all paint from a concrete surface. Can I do this? Should I use some sort of solvent/cleaner in conjunction with the washer?





Thanks!Can I use my pressure washer to remove paint from concrete porch steps?
That thing will almost blast anything off,try it most likely it will work,my neighbor just used one around his house and it took of old grass carpet that they use to put on outside steps.So try it you have nothing to lose except your paint lol You can also try a hard wire brush to help the process. By the way 2550 psi is alot so id say you have a good chance at it.Can I use my pressure washer to remove paint from concrete porch steps?
well we used a pressure water on our wood porch to remove the previous wood stain, when we bought the new wood stain the the paint lady said that we should buy a p.washer to remove the old stain wait a couple of days so the wood would dry and re stain i dont see much of a differance other than the concrete though if we point or p.washer at or self made concrete driveway itll chip away at the concrete
I'd use airplane stripper and wait for it to completely dry. the paint will be curled up and falling off. then just scrape/brush it off so you don't have paint blown all over the place from pressure washing which would be a mess.
To get in the pores of the concrete use a paint stripper then pressure wash.


For ex.
