KLEEN KRETE TM - General Use Instructions
KLEEN KRETE is quick and easy, ready-to-use product to use and works best when applied to dry,
hardened concrete. Simply follow the step by step instructions and tips for use below to achieve
the full benefits of this product.
1. PREPARATION
KLEEN KRETE is packaged ready-to-use and works best when applied to dry, hard concrete. Be sure to protect concrete floors
surrounding the area where KLEEN KRETE will be applied.
2. APPLICATION
Spray or brush KLEEN KRETE onto the dry, hardened concrete that you wish to remove. It will initially foam slightly but will then
subside. The product will continue to work even after the foaming action has stopped. Do NOT apply KLEEN KRETE to a hot
surface. It will evaporate quickly and may damage the surface.
3. LET THE PRODUCT WORK
Allow KLEEN KRETE to remain on the concrete for at least 30 minutes or until the concrete becomes soft to the touch. Heavier
build-ups should be left overnight and lightly sprayed the next day approx. 10 minutes prior to removing the concrete. This is done
to re-soften the concrete.
4. REMOVE THE SOFTENED CONCRETE
After the concrete has softened, scrape or power-wash the concrete off the surface. If additional concrete remains subsequent
applications of KLEEN KRETE will be necessary. Build-ups of a 1/4"(6mm) or more may require additional applications. The concrete
must be allowed to dry before the next application.
TIPS FOR USE
• Test KLEEN KRETE on an inconspicuous area prior to spraying or brushing the entire item with product.
• KLEEN KRETE's effectiveness is greatly reduced in cold weather where freezing conditions could cause the product to
freeze prior to softening the concrete.
• KLEEN KRETE's effectiveness is greatly reduced in hot conditions where direct sun will cause the product to evaporate
prior to softening the concrete.
• This product does not remove paint however power washers do. Use only as much pressure as you need. Using a
"zero" tip on your power washer will allow you to direct the water where it needs to be. Keep the tip on a 45° angle to
the item that you are power washing and move the tip as close or as far away as needed to effectively lift and
remove the concrete.
• Refer to the product MSD Sheet for additional product information.
TECHNICAL NOTES
• KLEEN KRETE is a clear liquid with an amber cast. When applied to concrete the product will foam slightly. If it does not foam, it is
NOT cement-based.
• KLEEN KRETE will not affect the finish on most equipment when used according to directions and can be used as a regular
maintenance product. Rinse tools with soap and water after use. IMPORTANT: Always wear protective clothing and eye wear. Do
NOT allow to freeze.
