Application - Directions for use:
Surface cleaning for absorbent and dense paving: Dilute the NCC Grime Remover as supplied by 1:10 parts by volume with warm water and stir, then immediately apply the solution across the surfaces, using a sturdy standard floor mop is usually the easiest and best for this. Keep the surfaces wet with this solution, allow the material to react for a few minutes (5 to 10 mins.) and then remove with the same mop and rinse with clean water.
For severe areas of staining and more severe cases increase the concentration of the solution and the dilution can be reduced as far as 1 to 3 with warm water, and this will usually shift most things dirt and grime! Apply liberally, spreading over larger areas and surfaces of the paving by roller, brush or spray. For these areas it can be helpful to agitate the material on the surface, working the solution into the stains in these areas with a stiff brush. Repeat and leave this to react for a further period of 5-10 minutes where required, ensuring that the surfaces are kept wet with the solution throughout, and by applying more as required. Then finally agitate the surface with a stiff brush again and remove / sponge / mop-up and finally rinse thoroughly with clean water.
In extremely severe cases the NCC Grime Remover can be used undiluted and the surface can also be agitated with mechanical scrubbers if required. This is useful and sometimes necessary to include as part of the cleaning regime for good hygiene around food retail and commercial facilities, where surface sealing would obviously also be a good idea.
Following the cleaning process, any cleaning solution remaining on the paved surfaces should be completely removed by mopping / sponging with clean water. Always make sure to give the surface a third final rinse with clean water to remove any residual materials.
Important note: We always advise that paving cleaners are tested on an inconspicuous area before undertaking the overall cleaning application. Additionally, with any cleaning products in your garden, it is important to also mask and protect any adjacent painted surfaces, untreated wood and any other sensitive areas and planting. Rinse off any spillages or over-spray immediately.
