    Instructions

    1. Read the technical data sheet carefully and test the product on a small, hidden area to ensure it’s safe for the surface.
    2. Clean the surface by removing dust and debris using a broom or vacuum. Protect any surfaces that shouldn’t be treated, and ensure grout and adhesive on new installations are fully dried.
    3. Wet the surface with water to prepare for treatment.
    4. Dilute the product or use undiluted based on the type of dirt:
    - Heavy-Duty Cleaning: Undiluted, or dilute 1:1 to 1:4 for tough stains.
    - Grout Residue Removal: Dilute 1:1 to 1:3 for post-installation cleaning on acid-sensitive materials.
    - Wax/Sealer Removal: Dilute 1:1 for stripping treatments.
    - Regular Maintenance: Dilute up to 1:9 for routine cleaning.
    5. Apply the solution evenly across the surface, using a mop, sponge, or single-disc machine, and scrub with a non-abrasive white sponge to help the product work.
    6. Let the product sit for 15-20 minutes while occasionally scrubbing. Do not allow the solution to dry—keep the surface wet by adding more diluted solution or water if necessary.
    7. After 15-20 minutes, add clean water to the solution and scrub with a melamine sponge. Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water and use a wet vacuum to remove any excess water.
    8. Allow the surface to dry fully before checking the results and repeat the process if needed. Once dry, the surface is ready for use or reapplication.
    9. Clean your tools with water after the cleaning is complete.
