6. How do I apply GLEAN Patio Grout Resin Residue Remover?
Preparation:
Ensure the surface is completely clean and dry. If needed, pre-clean using GLEAN Heavy Duty Floor & Stone Degreaser, rinse well, and allow to dry.
Application:
1 Shake the bottle well before use.
2 Apply generously by dabbing or rolling onto the affected surface.
3 Leave for up to 30 minutes, keeping the surface wet.
4 Use a stiff brush or nylon scrubbing pad to agitate and remove softened residues.
5 Add a little water and scrub again before rinsing thoroughly.
6 For best results, finish by washing with GLEAN Heavy Duty Floor & Stone Degreaser diluted 1:5 in warm water, then rinse with clean water.
7. How long should I leave the product on the surface?
Allow the product to dwell for up to 30 minutes to soften hardened residue. If the surface begins to dry before this time, reapply a small amount to keep it moist. Do not allow the product to dry completely on the surface.
8. What coverage can I expect?
Coverage will depend on surface texture and contamination levels, but typically:
Up to 10m² per litre.
Highly contaminated or rough surfaces may require additional product or repeated applications.
9. Does it damage grout or jointing material?
No. When used as directed, GLEAN Patio Grout Resin Residue Remover targets unwanted residue on the tile or stone surface without affecting the grout joints or structure of the paving.
10. Can I use it on recently grouted areas?
Yes — once the grout or jointing compound is fully cured and hardened, the remover can safely be applied to eliminate surface residue and haze without affecting the joints.
