Why Contractors Choose It

Application
For heavy stains, tire marks, or when dealing with cutback adhesives and asphalt on paving equipment, useOrange Peelundiluted. For general industrial dirt and grime, dilute one part Orange Peel to four parts water; for common cleaning tasks or cleaning industrial and institutional warehouse floors, dilute one part Orange Peel to five parts water.
To use, scrape off excess accumulations of grease, grime, and contaminants. Apply Orange Peel to the affected area either as a concentrate or using the recommended dilution. Spread the product uniformly and allow it to penetrate for approximately five minutes. Orange Peel’s unique blend of emulsifiers and wetting agents ensures deep penetration and effective cleaning. Scrub the area with a stiff bristle broom or a power floor scrubber and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Note that stubborn stains or stripping acrylic curing/sealing compounds may require heavier applications and potentially additional treatments.
