Formulated to quickly remove coats of emulsion floor sealers and finishes with minimal effort.
Its low foaming formulation will cut through years of build up and contamination from soiling and old worn coatings to prepare the surface for re-coating.
Directions for use:
For the removal of temporary coatings on new floors, worn emulsion floor sealers and finishes on old floors:
- Dilute at 250ml per 1 litre of cold water.
- Apply the diluted stripping solution liberally and allow the solution to soak for 15 minutes.
- Do not let the floor dry. Keep floor wet and use additional solution as required.
- Scrub the floor with a low speed (150 rpm – 220 rpm) rotary machine or oscillating pad machine fitted with a suitable stripping pad.
- Thoroughly scrub the floor making two or more passes whilst wet to ensure complete emulsification of the old coating.
- Whilst still wet, use a wet pick up or auto scrubber to recover the resulting slurry. All stripping solution residues should be removed at this stage.
- Once satisfied that all contamination has been removed, then proceed to rinse the floor twice with clean cold water.
- Allow the clean floor time to air dry or force dry with air movers. If humidity levels are high then the additional use of dehumidifiers will assist drying times.
- Repeat the stripping operation if necessary.
When stripping linoleum or thermoplastic flooring, substitute a black or brown stripping pad for a red cleaning pad to avoid scratching. Black or brown stripping pads easily damage these floors!
Never use a stripping or floor pad on rubber flooring, use Microfibre pads or scrubbing brushes instead.
Once thoroughly dry and free of contamination a new topical floor coating can be applied.
