How to Remove Markings From a PVC Pipe

Set the pre-cut PVC pipe on the worktable.

Press the fine-grit sanding pad onto the surface of the PVC pipe. While holding the PVC pipe with one hand, run the fine-grit sanding pad lightly along the pipe. Continue sanding the surface of the pipe until the printed markings are no longer visible. If you are painting the PVC pipe, sand the entire surface.

Wipe the sanded PVC pipe with a clean rag to remove the dust created while sanding. Inspect the surface of the pipe to ensure that no traces of the manufacturer markings remain.

Store the cleaned PVC pipe in a place that will not allow dirt to accumulate. Repeat the listed steps for each PVC pipe you need to clean.
