Damn Plasterer got plaster on my new concrete slab (wife is pissed).
does anyone know of an easy way to remove plaster from concrete?
already tried water with stiff brush with little results .
any other ideas?
I'll try anything at this point so I don't have to listen to the
dripping faucet on the tin roof.

My first thought was to put a wire wheel on an angle grinder and go
after it with that.

Or maybe a pressure washer.

Yeah, water should have done it.
Maybe there just wasn't enough contact time.
I'd try putting a rag on it and saturating it,
before being more heroic about it.

Might consider a dilute solution of vinegar, but later.

I have soaked the plaster with water
tried scraping it off
tried power washing
and the plaster IS still stuck to the concrete floor.

is it so hard for plasterers to cover concrete when finishing a wall or
ceiling.
this is not the 1st time this has happened, and yes the plaster is still
on the other floor (at the last house we lived in)

|I guess I will try the vinegar
I'll let you know how it turns out

any other options?
