How to use
Sweep or vacuum the surface and work in manageable sections.

Apply evenly with a machine or brush, leave for 10 to 15 minutes while keeping the surface wet, add water to form an emulsion, remove the excess, and rinse thoroughly with clean water.
Dilution: 1:1, 1:2 to 1:4, or 1:9 depending on the job
Coverage: 10 to 15 sq.m per litre at working dilution
Form: amber liquid, strongly alkaline, pH 13
