PREPARATION
Protect people, vehicles, property, metal, painted surfaces, plants and other nonmasonry materials from product, splash, residue, wind drift and fumes. When working over traffic, clean when traffic is at a minimum. Protect or divert traffic if necessary.

Vapors and liquid can damage a variety of metals and fabrics. Clean masonry before installing windows, doors, finished flooring, metal fixtures, hardware, light fixtures, roofing materials and other nonmasonry items that the cleaner could harm. If already installed, protect with polyethylene before application. Sure Klean® Strippable Masking is appropriate for use with this product to protect windows. All caulking and sealant materials should be in place and thoroughly cured before cleaning.

New brick and tile surfaces clean most effectively 14 - 28 days after masonry installation. Mortar and grout smears left on the surface longer result in a more difficult clean down and may cause undesirable results. Cleaning high-strength mortar/grout within seven days improves results. Presence of excessive moisture in the wall contributes to efflorescence and other staining. Always protect open wall cavities from rain during construction.

Surface and Air Temperatures
For best results, clean when air and masonry surface temperatures are 40°F (4°C) or above. To avoid harming masonry, don’t clean when temperatures are below freezing or will be overnight. If freezing conditions existed before application, let the masonry thaw.
