Washable Sidewalk Paint on Brick-Cement-Concrete

To make the paint easier to remove, wet the paint and wait five minutes. Spray the area with the highest pressure setting on the garden hose nozzle, as close to the paint as possible and at a slight angle. If any stain remains, wet the area and brush with a stiff-bristled nylon brush or broom.
