Application

Protect surrounding surfaces and beware of wind drift and fumes. Protect people, vehicles, property, metal, painted surfaces, plants and other non masonry materials. Clean masonry before installing doors, windows, finished flooring, hardware, fixtures and fittings. If already installed, protect with polythene. Protect wall cavities during construction to prevent rain water saturation and related staining. Let newly constructed surfaces dry and cure thoroughly before cleaning. Excessive moisture may mobilise staining and cause unsatisfactory cleaning results.

Apply with soft fibred masonry brush or low pressure compression sprayer. Rinse using a pressure washer.

Always test each type of surface and stain before overall application to ensure suitability and desired results. Apply test area according to the following application procedures. Allow surface to dry thoroughly before inspection.

Always pour cold water into an empty bucket first, then carefully add Tensid 600 Detergent. Never use hot water. Handle in polyethylene buckets only. Acidic materials and fumes will attack metal.
