For general cleaning, a dilution of 1 part cleaner to 5 parts water is recommended. For tougher stains, you may use a stronger concentration, up to a 1:1 ratio, or neat in very stubborn cases. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
It is suitable for most types of stone, but it is always best to test on a small, hidden area first, as some sensitive natural stones may be affected by acid-based cleaners. Avoid using on limestone or marble without extreme caution and testing.
Allow the cleaner to dwell for 5-15 minutes, depending on the severity of the staining and the surface type. Do not allow the cleaner to dry on the surface.
Always wear chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection (goggles or face shield), and protective clothing. Ensure good ventilation during use. Avoid breathing in fumes.
Rinse the treated area thoroughly with plenty of clean water. Ensure all residue of the cleaner is washed away.
While it is effective on general dirt and grime, it is primarily designed for mineral-based stains like efflorescence and mortar. For oil stains, a specific degreaser might be more effective.
It can be used on garage and factory floors which are often indoors. However, due to its acidic nature and potential fumes, it is best used in well-ventilated areas. It is generally not recommended for internal living spaces without extreme caution and ventilation.
Ensure the correct dilution ratio is being used. For very stubborn stains, a stronger concentration or a second application may be necessary. Allow the cleaner to dwell for a slightly longer period before scrubbing and rinsing.
This may indicate an incompatibility with the surface material or that the cleaner was left on for too long. Always test in an inconspicuous area first. Rinse the area thoroughly with clean water and if the discoloration persists, consult a professional.
Some foaming is normal. If excessive, reduce the agitation or check if the surface is excessively porous. Ensure adequate rinsing.
Setup:
This product is ready to use after dilution. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and protective clothing, before handling or applying the cleaner. Ensure the area to be cleaned is well-ventilated. It is recommended to test the product on a small, inconspicuous area first to check for surface compatibility and to determine the correct dilution ratio.
Compatibility:
Suitable for use on brickwork, stone, concrete, earthenware, patios, garage floors, and factory floors. *Not recommended for use on sensitive natural stones, painted surfaces, or metals without prior testing.* Always consult the product's technical data sheet for comprehensive compatibility information.
Care:
Store the product in its original, tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Clean up any spills immediately with absorbent material. Ensure the container is rinsed thoroughly if disposing of it.
