How to Use (Always follow the product label; directions below are general best practices.)

1. Preparation & Test Patch – Sweep or dry brush loose debris. Saturate a small inconspicuous test area to confirm compatibility and dwell time.
2. Dilution – For extreme, entrenched rust stains use product as supplied (full strength). For moderate staining, dilute per label (e.g., 1:1–1:3 with clean water). Never over-dilute on first pass when stains are severe.
3. Application – Apply evenly (low-pressure sprayer, plastic watering can, chemical-resistant brush). Work in manageable sections; keep surface uniformly wet.
4. Dwell Time – Allow product to react (typically 3–10 minutes). Do not let dry. Light agitation with a nylon or natural fiber brush can accelerate dissolution.
5. Rinse Thoroughly – Flood rinse with copious clean water (garden hose or low-pressure washer). For porous substrates, a second rinse helps flush residues.
6. Repeat if Needed – Deep, long-term rust may require a second application. Always re-test weaker dilution once initial stain mass is removed.
7. Aftercare – Allow surface to fully dry before applying any sealer or sacrificial / anti-graffiti coating.

Tip: Work in cooler parts of the day and shade when possible; high heat accelerates evaporation and can reduce effectiveness.

Best Practices & Pro Tips

• Pre-wet adjacent plantings and rinse afterward to minimize incidental exposure.
• Mask or protect nearby metals, anodized aluminum, or glass if runoff contact is a concern.
• Do not mix with other cleaners (especially bleach, oxidizers, or acids).
• For vertical surfaces, start at the bottom and work upward to minimize streaking, then rinse from top down.

Safety Information

• Wear chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection, and long sleeves during application and rinsing.
• Avoid breathing mists; ensure adequate ventilation in enclosed or below-grade areas.
• Prevent product from drying on surface or contacting non-target materials.
• In case of eye or skin contact: Rinse with water for several minutes; remove contaminated clothing. Seek medical attention if irritation persists.
• If ingested: Do not induce vomiting; rinse mouth, drink water, and seek medical advice.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets. Store container tightly closed at room temperature—protect from freezing and direct sun.
