Motsenbocker's Lift Off 41301 Latex Paint Remover Spray Removes Latex Paint and Enamel, Works on Multiple Surfaces, Water-Based, Biodegradable, 22 Fl Oz, Pack of 1

This stuff works. Long story short I had a section on siding that my husband painted green (I have cream vinyl siding) he did this to “test” a new color to see if he liked it but never did anymore with it because he left us. It’s been on there for 6 years. I have since had to do some fixes on my deck and took down a wall that covered this green paint on the house. It looked horrible. So I bought this spray… you could see the paint running off immediately. However you do have to scrub it and it does take some hard scrubbing but it works! I’m on my 3rd bottle!

It works great for paint removal.

After scrubbing and scrubbing, chalk paint, with a water-based top coat, on a small vase... this product is a waste of money. The word "Lift" is a switch and bait tactic in advertising.

Sorry for the four star. This on the paint on the floor 1 minute sit time and a magic eraser and the occasional elbow grease and its right up very easy. Now the reason for the 4 ⭐️ is im not sure what it does to the finish. Of the floors. On engineered hw seems a small fade. Not sure on finished poly but im sure poly would hold up.

I'm not sure how to "rate" this stuff, because it's pretty much 5 stars for some surfaces, but anywhere from 1 to 3 stars for anything else. I bought this product hoping to clean latex spatter off of concrete, and while it definitely "helps" to soften the latex so you can then get *some* of the paint off with a wire brush and sanding pad, that's about it. Now maybe it works on some concrete better than others, but I'm using this on a patio where there are "paver" blocks, 12x12, the kind you find at any home improvement store, so probably close to what you average user might need to clean paint from. And didn't matter if the paint was fairly new, or an old spot, I sprayed on, followed all the instructions, and then spent a solid ten minutes alternating between spraying the spot and trying to get it off with a wire brush, sanding pad, rag, anything and everything. And again I got *some* off, but it's a lot of elbow grease. So I would't really recommend it for concrete.But, it does work very well for cleaning old latex paint off of brushes, so it's definitely worth getting some if you've got old paint brushes where you can't even move the bristles anymore because somebody didn't wash it out properly. Spray this stuff on your old brush -- wear gloves, do this outside, I'd do it over a bucket of water -- and then work the paint out of the bristles. You need to do this a few times, but works great to dissolve the old latex.It does help if your latex paint is in big spatters -- it does better at removing big globs of paint, than if you've just got some paint spots somebody tried to wipe off while they were fresh, and left a fog of paint behind. That's much more of a challenge for this product, you've got to let it sit a while, then rub, wipe off, spray more on, and keep doing this several times before the "fog" of paint is gone.And it works great for latex paint on bare metal, that comes right off. And if you've got plain wood, that got paint spatters on it (like flooring or garden benches or like that), if you spray this stuff on and *gently* rub it with a rag, that'll slowly remove the paint without damaging the wood. At least in my tests.And it works to remove latex paint spatters from oil painted surfaces, BUT it also starts to dissolve whatever paint is under the latex spot. So you'll definitely get a "clean spot" if you use this stuff on a paint spatter over some other paint, I don't think I'd even risk it unless you're just trying to remove thick spots of latex so you can have a smooth surface to then repaint.As for value for money, I'd say this was definitely worth the eight bucks, even if it's not very effective on concrete. Oh, and it doesn't smell too bad, either, kinda like industrial soap. But still I would only use this in a well-ventilated area.

Does have a strong scent, but not unpleasant.Haven’t had any issues with it on my skin except mild dryness.Hasn’t damaged anything.Easy to use.Works well.If you have a lot to remove (like you stupidly painted and entire vinyl window frame) it will get messy. The paint gets kind of goopy like it is halfway dried.I do recommend working with it while still wet, so if you have stubborn parts, spray, let sit for a few minutes, and then give it another spray before you start scrubbing, especially if it is something porous like grout.The previous owners of our house in their infinite lack of wisdom, bought a paint sprayer to prep the house to sell. They obviously had no idea how to use it so naturally they used it everywhere.It all looked great at first glance but after living with it a while we noticed tiny specs of paint EVERYWHERE! Window screens, shower stalls, trim, floors, windows… and then my naive self decided I didn’t like the off white window frame, I wanted it bright white to match the chair rails. Well… latex doesn’t work on vinyl (now you know), so it didn’t age well and I am left cleaning up my mess along with that of the previous owners.In the bathroom, the sprayed paint (courtesy of the previous owners) was all over the tiles and grout, leaving it looking dirty. A simple blade removed it from the tile but the grout was another matter. Soap and water didn’t work. All purpose cleaner didn’t work. Magic Erasers did work but got chewed up super fast!So, I gave up and started scraping out the grout with the intention of redoing it - and then I stumbled upon this stuff.I did still regrout the parts I had already scraped out, but these (desaturated) photos are from a different section and as you can see, the paint was removed! You can see the little specs in the one photo, and a lot less in the other one. I still need to go back and do another pass but now I don’t HAVE to regrout if I don’t want to! And it works well on that window frame too!

Lift Off did work to loosen latex-based material, such as caulk, for removal.

This product is way better than I thought it would be. Wish I knew about it years ago. I purchased it for some paint spots that recently happened. After seeing the great results I tried it on clothes I've deemed my 'painting clothes'. I was thoroughly impressed that it removed paint that had been on the clothes for years. Well worth the purchase price.
