Use Recommendations

Use neat, or diluted with up to 10 parts of potable water.

Typical dilution rate is 1 part of ACID CLEAN to 5 parts of water; this solution can be diluted further or strengthened according to the extent of the contamination.

For best results wash the surface to be cleaned with appropriate cleaner (i.e. truck wash or water based degreaser) to remove any dirt, debris, oil or road film. Once the surface is clean of dirt and damp, simply swab surface, working from the bottom upwards with the solution of ACID CLEAN. Allow the solution time to dwell & work.

This product works via chemical reaction which takes time; allow at least 10 to 20 minutes. Do not all the surface to dry out, keep it wet evenly with the product until clean.

Once clean flush with copious amounts of fresh water. Some stubborn build-ups may require repeat applications; simply follow the steps above again.

If you are using this product to remove bore stains on brickwork or masonry ensure that the brickwork is saturated with water prior to use so the brickwork can “drink” as much water as it can because when it comes time to apply the ACID CLEAN we do not want it being sucked into the brickwork to be wasted and cause complications such as leaching or staining.
