How to Use PROSTRIP
Surface Restoration
With this powerful cleaner, there’s no need for dilution, making the application straightforward and efficient. No complicated mixing—just apply and go. Here’s how to restore your surfaces effectively:
- Prepare the Surface: Before application, ensure the area is free of loose debris and dirt to enhance adhesion and effectiveness.
- Application: Apply this versatile cleaning agent directly onto the affected area using a flat brush or airless sprayer. Aim for an even coverage to maximize contact with the unwanted residues.
- Allow to Sit: Let the product sit for at least 5 minutes. This dwell time allows the formula to penetrate and break down the problematic deposits for easier removal.
- Scrubbing: Using an abrasive pad, scrub the surface.
- Thorough Rinse: Rinse the area thoroughly with water to remove any remnants of PROSTRIP and any residual marks. For optimal results on vertical surfaces, use a pressure washer; a floor-cleaning machine works best for horizontal surfaces.
- Repeat if Necessary: If stubborn dirt or residue remains, simply reapply this ready-to-use solution following the same process. This is particularly crucial for porous materials like brick or natural stone, where the product may need additional time to work effectively.
Removal of Sealer Residue
When dealing with topical sealers like WET ECO that have been incorrectly applied, PROSTRIP is your go-to solution for restoration. Follow these steps for the effective removal of sealer residues:
- Surface Preparation: Start by ensuring the surface is clean from loose dirt and debris. This helps the product adhere better and work more efficiently.
- Application: Apply this surface restoration product undiluted directly onto the affected area using a flat brush or airless sprayer. Ensure that the application is uniform to maximize coverage.
- Dwell Time: Allow the product to sit for 15 minutes. This extended time is essential for penetrating the sealer layer, mainly if improperly applied.
- Scrubbing: After the dwell time, scrub the surface with a brush or floor-cleaning machine. Focus on areas where the residue is thick or stubborn, applying additional pressure as needed.
- Rinse Thoroughly: Rinse the area thoroughly with water to remove any leftover cleaner and the dissolved sealer. Ensure all traces are removed to prepare the surface for any new application.
- Repeat if Required: If any stubborn residue remains, repeat the application and scrubbing process. This ensures a completely clean surface for subsequent sealing or finishing.
