| Just had a paver patio installed and the contractor splashed cement on our hardiboard. Any tips on how to remove cement from fiber cement board?
I've tried vinegar and a soft brush. It helped a little but is very time consuming. |

| Get a cruddy wood chisel you do not care about wrecking and pop the spots off. It may damage the paint, but not always. |

| Yes, use an old chisel or, better yet, try a trowel or long handled paint scraper--anything to scape off the dried concrete. Even a screw driver might work. Good luck! |

| The sharper the tool the less chance of damaging the surface if handled carefully. A 'crank neck' chisel would be the perfect tool, but they are expensive. There is no way I would risk the damage to my 9 inch long 3/4 inch wide crank neck. Traditional Woodworker has them, but they start around $50 for a 3/4 inch. Smaller would be much harder to use without damage. |
