The product is easy to apply and involves no special skills and very little equipment. It is non-flammable and safe in use, provided it is applied in accordance with the following instructions :
- Apply neat Concrete Cleaner and scrub well in with a stiff brush, broom or scrubbing machine (The cleaner can be added to the reservoirs of some machines and applied directly to the floor)
- Stand back and allow the chemical cleaning action to work away all contamination from the surface
- After 2 - 5 minutes, hose or vacuum away thoroughly with clean cold water
- Repeat the above process if the contamination has not been completely removed
- Allow to dry thoroughly before applying paints, sealers, screeds etc.
Splashes on operatives and equipment can be removed with a damp cloth and water. Special care should be taken if using the cleaner in overhead situations to avoid splashes in the eyes. Always wear goggles, gloves and a hat for added protection. Use clean, cold water for diluting and cleaning at all stages. The diluted material is harmless to plant life and can be hosed in a diluted form down drains or on to the land. Scrape away excess dirt and grease from surfaces to save time and material.
