Application tools: Stiff bristle broom Cleaning materials: Water
Application Method:
Safety first. Wear suitable protective clothing, including chemical-resistant gloves and eyewear, when mixing and applying the product.
Sweep the surface clean
Pressure wash the surface, removing any dirt and loose materials. Wait for the surface to be free of pooled water.
Mix the Dulux Concrete and Paving Bare Concrete Etch and Clean into a bucket or watering can at a ratio of 1 part cleaner to 4 parts water. For heavily stained areas use a ratio of 1 part cleaner to 2 parts water. IMPORTANT: When preparing the dilution, always have the water in the container first and then add the cleaner.
Apply the diluted Bare Concrete Etch and Clean liberally and evenly across the surface using a watering can and use a stiff bristle broom to work the solution into the concrete. You should notice bubbling of the solution as it reacts with the concrete. Wait for 15 minutes and then scrub again with the broom. Do not let the surface dry out in this time, adding a little more water if required.
Rinse off using a high-pressure washer to leave the surface clean.
NOTE: Steps 4 to 6 may need to be repeated for heavily stained surfaces. You are now ready for Stage 2 – Priming
