Preparing bare concrete surfaces with Concrete Clean-N-Etch

1. Sweep and power wash surface to remove loose dirt, mold or mildew. Use a degreaser like Seal-Krete OSR to remove oily stains.

2. For garage floors and other smooth troweled concrete, mix 1/2 gallon of Clean-N-Etch to 1/2 gallon of water. For other surfaces, mix 1/2 gallon to 1 gallon of water. For light cleaning, mix 1/2 gallon to 11/2 gallons of water.

3. Working a 10 ft. x 10 ft. section at a time, dampen surface with water.

4. Apply Clean-N-Etch with a garden sprayer. Using a stiff-bristled broom, scrub solution into surface untill foaming action stops.

5. Triple rinse surface with a strong stream of water, scrubbing while rinsing to ensure removal of all material.

6. When dry, check surface by applying a few drops of water. Water should penetrate quickly - if not, re-etch affected area.

7. Allow surface to dry thoroughly before applying paint or stain.
