PRODUCT DE SCRIPTION
KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN. Phosphoric Acid Cleaner is a fast act-
ing, easy to use acid-base cleaner for pre-cast concrete, concrete, masonry,
grout, tile and natural stone surfaces. Phosphoric Acid Cleaner will remove
cement grout haze and mortar residue, joint cement, lime & hard water
deposits, efflorescence, rust and other dirt and grime. Phosphoric Acid
Cleaner is suitable for interior and exterior use. Due to the nature of phos-
phoric acid, Phosphoric Acid Cleaner is a milder alternative to other acid-
base cleaners for concrete, tile, grout and natural stone surfaces.
DO NOT USE ON ACID SENSITIVE/POLISHED SURFACES.
Sample Testing
Due to the differences of each surface, several inconspicuous test patches
should be completed to assure maximum performance. User must deter-
mine suitability of the product for their intended use.
Protect Neighboring Surfaces
Always protect neighboring surfaces including wood, carpet, metal, land-
scaping and other incompatible surfaces.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Read entire label and PDS/MSDS before using.
Thoroughly wet the surface to be cleaned with clean water. Phosphoric
Acid Cleaner may be applied with a clean mop or acid resistant brush.
Dilute Phosphoric Acid Cleaner 15 parts water to 1 part Phosphoric Acid
Cleaner . For stronger solutions, reduce the water down to as low as 3
parts. Allow the solution to dwell on the surface for 1 - 5 minutes while agi-
tating with a brush. Do not allow the solution to dry on the surface. Work in
small areas. Extract dirty remains with a wet vacuum system. Multiple appli-
cations may be necessary. After extracting Phosphoric Acid Cleaner
Solution, rinse thoroughly with clean water. Once the surface has been
rinsed, rinse the surface with Mira Clean #1 and clean water (20 - 1) as
directed.
If a non-acid deep cleaning is necessary, use Liquid Poultice as directed.
Special Notes:
Acid and the vapors, no matter how mild, may etch, lighten or alter the
color of tile, cementious and natural stone surfaces. Repeated acid washing
may damage some surfaces.
Avoid contact with all metals
Do not mix with ammoniated cleaners as harmful fumes may result.
Allow all new grout, concrete, cement or masonry to cure per manufactur-
er’s specification before using Phosphoric Acid Cleaner .
Light Cleaning: Use Mira Clean #1, Porcelain & Ceramic Tile Cleaner or
Mira Soap as directed.
Water, Stain & Slip Protection
To protect clean surfaces from future soiling, staining and increase static
coefficient of friction, we recommend applying the appropriate Miracle
Penetrating Sealer/Impregnator.
Color and Gloss Enhancement
For added color with “Textured and Non polished” surfaces, 511 Seal &
Enhance or Mira Matte may be used. For porous type “Pavers”, 511 Seal &
Enhance may be used as directed.

tion, weather, time solution left on surface and application method. Used as
