If you are an eager DIY-er like me, you know this feeling and also the amount of cleaning work, after you accomplish another project and find yourself amidst of all the mess that`s left around.
Painting, as one of the most rewarding and creative home improvement project, often comes with the dreaded task of cleaning up accidental paint drops and splatters. Whether you’re a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a beginner, it’s common to make mistakes and end up with paint where it doesn’t belong. And you ask yourself a question (having in mind, that traditional scrubbing takes too much time and efforts):
How do I remove paint from concrete?
How do I remove paint from brick?
How do I remove paint from tile?
How do I remove paint from glass?
How do I remove paint from plastic?
Fortunately, there are various methods for removing paint drops, and one surprisingly effective tool for the job is a Steam Cleaner.
My experience
I have tried to remove oil, enamel and latex paint from all of those surfaces. And I can assure you, that even the old paint drips can be easily removed with a steam cleaner (this one I use).
No, you might be sitting there right now and thinking: “Gosh, another advertising post for some crap product nobody ever uses”.
That`s what I`m thinking right now, writing this: “I wish I got at least a penny for advertising steam cleaners. . .” So far, nobody bought one following the links I accurately put in all my posts 🙄
Here are some links I desperately put in all my post, trying to get a couple of pennies return on investment (blogging just might be not my thing, after all, and I keep writing those posts and recording those videos on pure enthusiasm, just because I really like to make my home better, cleaner and cosier):

I wish I made pictures (not to mention videos), when I was cleaning paint drips from bricks, tiles, our concrete front porch, and heating radiators. But at that time I`d never thought that some day I might have shared this with someone other than our friends and acquaintances.
However, I`ve got some pictures of removing latex paint from heating radiators:
*Important! Don`t use a Steam Cleaner on wood! There are Paint Strippers for removing paint from wood.
Conclusion
A steam cleaner can be a valuable tool for removing paint drops from various surfaces in your home. It’s efficient, eco-friendly, and generally safer than harsh chemical solvents. However, always beware of caution and test the steam cleaner on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure it won’t cause any damage. With the right technique and patience, you can say goodbye to those unwanted paint drops and enjoy a clean and fresh-looking space once again.
