Application
HMK® R152 is an active cleaning paste/poultice that removes oil, wax and grease stains as well as silicone smears and mineral deposits from all natural and artificial stones, ceramic, porcelain and concrete surfaces. HMK® R152 also removes dirt and stains from tile edges caused by the application of unsuitable silicone sealers and grout or mastic sealers. The poultice penetrates up to 2 cm in depth and is safe for use on polished and fine honed surfaces. While HMK® R152 poultice is drying, protect the area from exposure to direct sunlight and wind. Do not apply to rubber, plastics, lacquered or varnished surfaces and solvent intolerant materials. Remove all foodstuffs from the area to be treated before work is commenced. If under floor heating exists, switch it off and allow the surface to cool to room temperature.
Instructions
Apply R152 onto the surface with a putty knife or spatula and work into the surface with a brush. Thereafter add more HMK® R152 to ensure that there is a layer of at least 1/8” of poultice. Once dry brush off the hardened poultice but do not scrape off as this can damage the surface. After removing all the poultice scrub the area with HMK® R155 Intensive Cleaner diluted about 1:20 with clean water, using a scrubbing brush, stiff brush or a white/tan pad. Remove the dirty liquid and rinse the area thoroughly with clean water. For deeply ingrained or tough stains a second or third treatment may be necessary. Drying time: Dependent upon room temperature and ventilation, around 10 to 12 hours. To remove stains from tile edges; thoroughly remove the old grout or mastic sealer and apply HMK® R152 into the fully opened joint and onto the surface as instructed above. After the cleaning process is completed, re-grout to the manufacturers specification.
