The RetroPlate System creates a hardened, sealed, and dust proof surface for your exposed concrete. This densified surface is very maintenance friendly. No more harsh detergents, sweeping compounds, hours of scrubbing and, of course, no more dusting, staining concrete. All that is needed to maintain the shine and seal on your floor is an automatic scrubbing machine with red pads and appropriate detergent. Spills should be cleaned up as quickly as possible with a higher concentration of your cleaning agent.
What to avoid:
• |
AVOID acidic cleaners. Acidic detergents will etch the surface over time and dull the finish. |
• |
AVOID any detergents containing Hydroxides, Sulfates, or D-limonene. |
• |
AVOID aggressive scrubbing brushes. Stratogrit, nylogrit and other aggressive scrubbing brushes will alter the polish pattern and leave a dull appearance. |
What to use:
• |
USE a mild detergent with a pH of 10-11. We highly recommend CR61, distributed by LEAVITT Machinery. CR61 has been tested and proven to be an extremely effective cleaner for all exposed concrete surfaces. |
• |
USE a mop or an auto-scrubber with red pads. Scrub the floor to remove dirt and debris that can collect on the surface, hiding the shine and creating a slippery environment. |
