Isopropyl Alcohol on VCT

[Zachdaugh]

We are updating my wife’s salon. We painted the walls and got some paint on the pink vct. Was told that alcohol would remove the paint but instead it left worse looking white areas. Suggestions on how to get rid of the white?

Lighter sounds like color loss unless you're just talking about it turning the wax white. If that's the case, rewax the area.

Picture would help...or may just give a guy a chuckle.

I thought color ran all the way thru with VCT?

and rubbing alcohol isn't a great paint remover.

Was/is the wall paint white/light color?
if so my WAG (wildazz guess)
looks like you smeared it a bit, but didn't remove all of it

..L.T.A.

Probably need to take it down with stripper and a black pad

 

[Desk Jockey]

Not bad, don't look like much damage, just the finish.

As Mikey said, good strip and refinish should fix it.

Next time you really fook something up, post it here!

Good luck!

Read further up the post porkbutt.

I told him that it probably just cut the wax. That's why I askedddd for pictures.

Strip and wax. It looks like a satin finish not a shiny one. It would appear you've taken it down to a bare floor. Is that blue sponge abrasive? Next time use drop clothes .

Thank you. Can you recommend a stripper and wax to use?

 

[Kenny Hayes]

Any from your local janitorial supply.

 

[Zachdaugh]

Thank you all for the advice.
Sincerely,

Let us know how your floor turns out, then we’ll determine if you’re an idiot.

Careful with the use of that word. You'll have to pay royalties to the original board idiot or at least pay hommage to his worthiness.

I hope you gentlemen have written and expressed permission to use the trademarked word "idiot"from one Martin Sutley. If not please be advised legal action will ensue.

I’m not too worried, the “village idiot” will keep him in line!
