didn't see that stuff was made out of PP
acetone. steal wife's nail polish remover and hope it's not the non-acetone kind.
or better yet, install a hardwood floor upside down on top of the brick and then peel it up in a few months. that **** sticks to hardwood too.

I will have to double-check when I get home, but this stuff looks like what I have. It says PVC-coated polyester. I'm going to locate a receipt or ask the wife to narrow it all down, but I'm pretty sure this is the stuff.
Now what?

I was in a very similar situation and was able to use oven cleaner form the $1 store. i'd poor it on and let it sit for a few minutes then take a brush to it. almost like i was cleaning my driveway on an accidental oil spill lol. It took me a couple weeks. I did it twice a day for 10 days. it was a good day when i didn't have to scrub that **** anymore. I will never again put that non slip junk on my floor.

It has been sealed with a standard masonry sealer of some sort... just the brush-on kind out of a can. It's possible the PVC over time had a chemical reaction to something in the sealant and they're bonded.
I'm sure there are lots of options to get this stuff off... but they all involve vacating the house for a couple days. We may end up setting up a big paint-type spray booth and getting a pressure-washer. The mess will be epic. It's going to suck.
