floor stripper
A heavy-duty, non-carcinogenic formula trusted by contractors and DIYers alike. Designed to break down the toughest mastics, adhesives, paints, urethanes, and sealers.
OVERVIEW
Strip stubborn coatings the smarter way.
GreenEZ Floor Stripper is a heavy-duty, non-carcinogenic formula built for the toughest floor stripping jobs — old carpet glue, mastic, layered paint, urethanes, varnishes, and epoxy coatings on concrete, wood, tile, stone, and masonry. Soy-based, non-caustic, and biodegradable so you can work indoors for hours without harsh fumes. High-viscosity formulation stays active longer, removing multiple layers in one application. Qualifies for LEED project credits.

Apply, wait, and scrape — clean floors revealed.
Prepare the area
Ensure good ventilation. Protect surrounding surfaces and baseboard trim with drop cloths or plastic sheeting. Wear gloves and eye protection — standard precaution for any stripping project.
10 minApply generously and dwell
Pour or apply with a roller or brush in a thick, even layer. Let it sit for 30-60 minutes for standard adhesives and paint, up to several hours for heavy mastic or epoxy. The coating will visibly soften and lift.
30 min to 8 hrScrape, clean with Finishing Cleaner
Once the coating has softened, scrape away the dissolved material. Apply GreenEZ Finishing Cleaner to remove remaining residue and prep the floor for sealing, polishing, or refinishing.

COMMON QUESTIONS
FAQ
Everything you need to know before you start your project.
How is Floor Stripper different from Furniture Stripper?
Floor Stripper is formulated specifically for horizontal floor surfaces — concrete, wood, tile, and masonry — with higher viscosity to stay active on flat surfaces longer. Furniture Stripper is optimized for vertical surfaces and fine wood furniture. Both are non-carcinogenic and soy-based, but the Floor Stripper handles heavier industrial-grade coatings like mastic and epoxy.
How long do I need to leave it on the floor?
Dwell time varies by coating: standard adhesives and paint coatings typically need 30-60 minutes; heavy mastic, epoxy, or multiple layers can take several hours to overnight. Cover with plastic sheeting to keep the formula wet on large areas or in dry conditions. The coating is ready when it visibly softens and lifts.
Is it safe to use in an occupied building?
Yes. The low-odor, non-carcinogenic formula is designed for use in occupied buildings. It has been used safely in schools, offices, and homes with residents present. Standard precautions apply: wear gloves and eye protection, and ensure adequate ventilation as you would with any chemical product.
Do I need the Finishing Cleaner after stripping?
Highly recommended. After stripping, residue remains on the surface that can interfere with new sealer, polish, or floor finish adhesion. GreenEZ Finishing Cleaner removes that residue and leaves the floor chemically neutral and ready for the next step. These two products are designed as a system — strip with Floor Stripper, prep with Finishing Cleaner.
