Wetting: To reduce the penetration of HC HARDSCAPE CLEANER down sand joints and thus make product easier to rinse, first wet the surface to saturate joints with water; then let the surface dry, and apply product.

           
Dilution: Into a plastic watering can or using a professional spraying system (tank, pump and piping), dilute 1 part product in 9 or more parts water.

Application:
1) Work one section (200 sq. ft.) at a time.
2) Spray the diluted product solution, making sure to cover the whole surface of the section without leaving any dry spots.
3) Gently scrub using a long-handled brush.
4) Rinse immediately and thoroughly until all traces of foam disappear.
5) Repeat cleaning on the next section, overlapping the edges of previously cleaned section. Once the entire surface is clean, rinse thoroughly and let dry. Repeat if necessary.
