FAQs
Is this product safe for my plants?
While the formula is organic and free from harsh chemicals, it is still a cleaning agent. It's recommended to avoid direct contact with delicate plants. If overspray occurs, rinse the plants with water.
How long does it take to see results?
Results can vary depending on the level of dirt and grime. Typically, you should see a noticeable improvement within a few hours of application. Stubborn stains might require a longer contact time or a second application.
Can I use this on indoor surfaces?
This product is specifically designed for outdoor hard surfaces. It is not recommended for indoor use.
What is the coverage rate?
A 5L container covers up to 120 square meters when mixed at the recommended 1-part cleaner to 3-parts water ratio.
How should I dispose of the empty container?
Dispose of the empty container in accordance with local recycling guidelines. Ensure the container is rinsed if required by local regulations.
Can I use this with a pressure washer?
While a pump sprayer or watering can is recommended for controlled application, you could potentially use a dilution tank attachment on some pressure washers. Ensure your pressure washer manual allows for chemical application and follow its specific guidelines.
Troubleshooting
Cleaner not effective on tough stains
Ensure the correct dilution ratio (1:3) is used. For very stubborn stains, a second application may be necessary after the first has dried. Agitating the surface with a stiff brush before rinsing can also help.
Surface appears slightly dull after cleaning
This is usually temporary. Rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water after the cleaning solution has had time to work. Ensure no cleaning solution residue remains.
Product seems to be running off the surface too quickly
Ensure the surface is not excessively wet before application. Apply to a dry surface. If the surface has a steep incline, consider applying in smaller sections.
