Its penetrating formulation lifts contamination from porous surfaces, helping you prepare workshop, warehouse and garage floors for a suitable primer or floor coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it neat for heavily soiled areas or dilute it for lighter cleaning and routine floor maintenance. The low odour, virtually solvent free formula suits indoor and outdoor work, including bare concrete, asphalt, brickwork, blockwork and sand and cement screeds. It can also clean existing painted floors using the appropriate dilution and a soft broom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConcentrated cleaner for floor preparation and ongoing maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBiodegradable formulation; rinse thoroughly after use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with a broom or mechanical scrubbing machine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSurface Preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSweep away loose dirt and remove excess deposits before cleaning. Heavily contaminated floors should be reasonably dry so the cleaner can work effectively. Use a stiff broom on bare concrete and a soft broom or suitable scrubber on painted surfaces.
