Technical Notes / Limitations
• Test KLEEN KRETE on an inconspicuous area prior to spraying or brushing the
entire item with product.
• Build-ups of ¼” (6mm) or more may require additional applications.
• The concrete must be allowed to dry before the next application.
• KLEEN KRETE will not affect the finish on most equipment when used according
to directions and can be used as a regular maintenance product.
• Rinse tools with soap and water after use.
• Refer to application-specific instructions for use as a brick wash or concrete etcher
prior to use
• KLEEN KRETE’s effectiveness is greatly reduced in cold weather where freezing
conditions could cause the product to freeze prior to softening the concrete.
• KLEEN KRETE’s effectiveness is greatly reduced in hot conditions where direct
sun will cause the product to evaporate prior to softening the concrete.
• DO NOT allow this product to freeze.
• This product does not remove paint, however, power washers do. Use only as
much pressure as you need. Using a “zero” tip on your power washer will allow
you to direct the water where it needs to be. Keep the tip on a 450angle to the
item that you are power washing and move the tip as close or as far away as
needed to effectively lift and remove the concrete.
• In all cases, refer to the Safety Data Sheet before use of this or any product.

Directions for Application
Surface Preparation
KLEEN KRETE is packaged read-to-use. No mixing is required. KLEEN KRETE
works best when applied to dry, hard concrete.
Be sure to protect concrete floors surround the area where
KLEEN KRETE will be applied.
Application
Spray or brush KLEEN KRETE onto the dry, hardened concrete that you wish
to remove. It will initially foam slightly but will then subside.
Allow KLEEN KRETE to remain on the concrete for at least 30 minutes or
until the concrete becomes soft to the touch. The product will continue to
work even after the foaming action has stopped. Heavier build-ups should
be left overnight and lightly sprayed the next day approximately 10 minutes
prior to removing the concrete. This is done to re-soften the concrete.
After the concrete has softened, scrape or power-wash the concrete off of
the surface. If additional concrete remains, subsequent applications of
KLEEN KRETE will be necessary.
