Spread the solution evenly over the surface and wait approx. 5–10 minutes. Then scrub with a white pad and remove the residues of product and dirt with a cloth, rubber squeegee or wet vacuum.
Finally, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a clean cloth.
Important guidelines: on floors with fresh grout, it is recommended to wait at least 5 days after grouting before cleaning. Protect metal profiles, taps, seals and sensitive surfaces, use suitable protective equipment and carry out a suitability test in a small area before application.
