Getting Concrete out of Wash Machine

Feb 22, 2010 14 Replies

Last fall I made a cement sidewalk in front of the house. I dod not have a concrete mixer so I put the redi-crete in the wash machine to mix it. This worked quite well. When I finished the job, I was really tired and did not clean out the wash machine. It was almost full of left over concrete that I did not need. I completely forgot about it until my ex-wife came here last week, and wanted to do some laundry since her machine dont work. She opened the washer and found it full of hard cement. How do I remove that cement?

=3D=3D Write it off...there is no bloody way to salvage that machine. Better phone city hall as well as to where to dispose of the machine as most garbage pick-ups will not touch the machine. =3D=3D

Just use concrete dissolver.

So you really think people belive that bs, I suppose you shower and put on the same crapped up underwear and that your clothes stink like s*it by now from not washing, poor troller.

Wait a m "It was almost full of left over *c "She opened the washer and found it full of hard *cement*"

I think you need to find out who took the concrete out and refilled the washer with cement then make sure they don't do it again.

Try a Mr Clean Magic Eraser. I hear it has surprising results.

If there are people dumb enough to use a shopvac to vacuum up gasoline...

Is that not a good idea? It is designed to suck up liquids...

Mike Rowe of the TV show dirty jobs did the jackhammer in the mixer thing. Its a normal part of concrete mixer truck maintence.

Heard a story years ago.

The husband drove a concrete truck, he found out his wife was having a affair with the mayor of Mc kees Rocks Pa.

The mayor bought a brand new cadilac:)

Concrete husband left for work, mayor arrived at the house, parked his new car in front of house, went in to have some fun:)

Husband returned with concrete truck, broke window of mayors new caddy, and filled the car with concrete.

Husband never heard a word about the car, which was totaled.

mythbusters did it with a cement truck -

I think it was how to clean out a truck with stick of dynamite - This was a bit more...

yeah right - like you really used a washing machine as a mixer ?

TNT. It worked when it happened to me.
