Surfaces and compatibility
For oily and greasy soil on explicitly permitted surfaces. Distinguish surface soil from oil absorbed into porous material and identify any sealer, paint or floor finish.
Confirm the current formula, pH and foam level before choosing dose and method. Listed values vary across documentation; follow the supplied reference’s label.
Preparation and use
Identify the slab coating. Test at the label dose before machine scrubbing and recover the solution.
- Remove loose debris and collect free oil using the site procedure.
- Read the label and SDS for dilution, protection, ventilation and incompatibilities.
- Test at the intended dilution. Check for finish softening or colour change.
- Apply, allow contact time and agitate only as instructed; prevent solution drying on the surface.
- Recover solution and rinse as directed. Use the approved disposal route for greasy wastewater.
Follow the supplied reference’s label and SDS, plus flooring and machine instructions. Do not mix products. The method guidance below complements manuals and does not set a dilution or contact time missing from them.
Care and storage
Clean dosing equipment and splashed surfaces as instructed. Keep containers closed and labelled. If the floor remains slippery, check grease recovery and rinsing before reopening it.
Limits and things to check
A stronger concentration may damage the floor without improving results. Approval for concrete does not establish suitability for aluminium, wood, paint or food-contact materials.
Equipment, accessories and options
Auto-scrubber, consumables suited to concrete and sealer, measuring device and recovery.
