Blanchon Remover 1L

Blanchon Remover is a heavy duty cleaner with multiple uses. Its powerful formula degreases the most stubborn of ingrained dirt and stains. Use it on water-based and solvent-based lacquered wood floors to remove previous coats of metallising polish, on plastic composite flooring to strip self-shining polish and on hard floors to clean tiles, marble and stone flooring.

It prepares tired and previously varnished wood floors for an initial coat of metallised polish, without affecting the varnish.

• For a day-to-day cleaner that removes small stains and marks, use Blanchon Cleaner Lisabril

It is recommended that floors are dry swept or vacuumed before wet cleaning to ensure that any loose dirt and grit is removed.

• Ensure that any surfaces not intended to be stripped are covered and protected
• Blanchon Remover contains corrosive substances and should only be used in a well ventilated area with protective clothing such as gloves, safety glasses or goggles

Please note: Pre-varnished wood floors should be subjected to a small test patch to determine compatibility before attempting larger areas.

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and performance. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the container at all times.

Deep cleaning

1. Dilute 2 glasses of Blanchon Remover (5 - 10%) in 5L of hot water
2. Apply with a microfibre mop or with a clean, lint-free cloth
3. Rinse surface off thoroughly, twice with clean water, using a dampened cloth or mop

Stripping polish

1. Dilute 4 glasses of Blanchon Remover (10 - 20%) in 5L of hot water
2. Apply with a microfibre mop or with a clean, lint-free cloth
3. A floor buffer fitted with an abrasive pad can be used for application
4. Wait a few minutes to allow a reaction to the treated surface
5. Remove the stripped product using a vacuum cleaner or a squeegee and then with a microfibre mop
6. Rinse thoroughly twice with warm water, using a dampened mop

Neutralisation

It is recommended to neutralise the alkalinity of the Remover after stripping. Add a little white wine vinegar to water and wipe the treated surface using a microfibre mop or cloth.

Please Note: Excessive use of water can damage wooden floors. Always keep the amount of water used to a minimum. Use damp cloths or mops rather than wet.

Clean tools with water immediately after use. Do not re-use containers.

Once previous finishes have been stripped, and the surface is clean and dry, it is ready to be coated with Blanchon Protector.

Regular Cleaning

Floors can be regularly cleaned with a vacuum cleaner and using a dampened, lint-free cloth or microfibre mop with Blanchon Cleaner Lisabril or for a deeper clean of stubborn stains use Blanchon Remover.

Do not use household detergents or bleaches as these will degrade the finish.

Maintenance

If floors begin to look worn or tired over time, occasionally apply a fresh coat of Blanchon Protector.
