Dilutions:
Use Hot Stain Remover undiluted for extremely difficult stains up to 10 part water to 1 part solution less difficult applications.
Coverage Rates:
Coverage rates will vary drastically depending on surface type, porosity, and other variable. The coverage rate will be determined by proper testing.
Application Instructions:
ALWAYS PROTECT THE SURROUNDING AREA BY COVERING WITH PLASTIC.
If you are spraying Hot Stain Remover, try to stay away from or above the mist as it can cause irritation or burns to your skin.
1. Pre-wet the surface (do not saturate) with water before applying Hot Stain Remover.
2. Begin applying Hot Stain Remover to the surface using a low-pressure applicator for a strong dilution and a downstream injector at low pressure for a weaker dilution. A nylon brush may be used to apply when necessary.
3. Dwell times will vary tremendously depending on surface and severity of staining. Testing will determine actual dwell times.
4. Hot Stain Remover has special additives that cause soils to rise to the surface.
Caution: Do not allow the product to dry on a surface.
Rinsing:
Proper rinsing techniques determine the final look and quality of the job. A thorough rinse job is always recommended; however, our chemistry never requires flooding the surface. Hot Stain Remover can be rinsed using cold water and low pressure. Pressures that mark the surface should be avoided. When in doubt, follow the manufacturers recommended P.S.I. for the substrates.
Do not use a zero-degree nozzle.
