Brush, Spatula, Direct application to stains

Preparing and cleaning the surface

1. Carefully clean the surface, making sure to remove any dust or dirt present.

2. Never use GRAFF GEL on wet surfaces; make sure that the surface to be treated is dry or at
most, only slightly damp.

3. Do not apply GRAFF GEL to overly heated surfaces. We recommend applying the product
during the coolest periods of the day.

4. In the case in which the surface to be treated has a previous surface layer of wax, proceed to
the removal of the same with Double Stripping.

Application

5. The product is for use without dilution. Pour the undiluted product straight onto the surface
being treated. Use a brush, spatula or if simpler, pour directly onto the surface, covering it
completely with a thick layer of product.

6. Leave the product to act on the surface until the synthetic layer to be removed has broken
down completely. The necessary time depends on the type of material being removed and the
absorption level of the surface being treated.

Although all cases have different characteristics that may require specific and different
timeframes, generally the time required to dissolve the synthetic surface layers can be summed
up as follows:

– Enamels, paints and resins, and synthetic residues on compact, non-absorbent
materials: between 30 and 60 minutes of contact time;

– Enamels, paints and resins, and synthetic residues on porous, rough and absorbent
materials: between 1 and 3 hours of contact time;

– Polyester grout stains that have penetrated through the stone: from 3 to 12 hours
In case of stain removal requiring longer periods of time, we recommend applying a sufficiently
thick layer of product to avoid having to add more in the event that it dries too quickly.

7. After the set period of time, proceed to remove the product and its residues. To remove
GRAFF GEL it is possible to use absorbent paper or cloths in case of small surfaces, soaking up
and removing residues until the surface is completely clean. Wipe the surface with a slightly
damp cloth and wait for it to dry thoroughly before assessing the stain removal results. In case
of medium or large surfaces, remove all residues with a broom and absorbent rags or a damp
mop, until all excesses have been completely eliminated. Wipe the surface with a slightly damp
cloth or mop and wait for it to dry thoroughly before assessing the stain removal results.
If the finished result is not totally satisfactory, repeat the product application process as
described above.

When working to remove polyester grout stains from natural stone, it may be necessary to pass
over the surface with a mechanical polisher to increase the surface absorption and therefore,
the penetration of the stain remover, for more effective results.

Opening to floor traffic

8. After rinsing the surface with water, wait for the floor to dry completely before opening to
foot traffic.

Complementary Cleaning and Maintenance Products

– For routine cleaning of a surface treated with GRAFF GEL we recommend: NEUGEL or
ALGAFLOOR

– For extraordinary cleaning of a surface treated with GRAFF GEL we recommend: FABER 30 or DETERFUG, according to the type of surface to be cleaned

– Following a stain removal operation using GRAFF GEL we recommend using a damp-proofing
and/or stain-proofing treatment to be selected according to the characteristics and intended
use of the surface.
