D. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

SECTION:

PREPARATION:
Thoroughly wet the surface for 15 minutes before starting the application. Let dry. When the top of the pavers have just finished drying, apply the product. This procedure will saturate the pavers and the sand joints with water and will prevent the Efflorescence Cleaner from being absorbed too deep into the stones. It will make rinsing quicker and easier.
APPLICATION:
1. Shower generously the diluted cleaner over the whole section. (It should run down)
2. Immediately run the push broom over the paver surface to work in the product.
3. Quickly throw on your prepared pails of water to rinse.

NEXT SESSION:
Before applying the product on your next section, wet the edge of the previously cleaned section to avoid splash marks.
