Preparing and cleaning the surface

1. Before proceeding to wash the surface with Disycott, it is advisable to clean away any surface
residues, such as dust, debris and coarse dirt, using a broom or a vacuum cleaner,

We recommend treating small areas of the surface at a time. The size of the area to be treated
individually should be decided according to the absorption level of the material.
When applying to highly absorbent surfaces, such as cotto or terracotta, for example, it is
necessary to work on an area of no more than about 4-5 sq. m, to ensure that the wax remover
does not penetrate the surface completely, which would prevent it from carrying out its
function. When applying to low-absorption surfaces, such as stoneware or ceramic tiles, the
treated area may be larger, according to the requirements and the capability of the operator.

Application

2. The product is used diluted in clean water, according to the type of material and to the dirt
that needs to be removed:

– Dilute to 30-40% in water (approx. 1 part product to 2 parts water) to clean salts,
efflorescence and to remove stubborn end of installation residues from porous,
absorbent materials such as cotto, terrecotta and absorbent materials in general.

– Dilute to 20% in water (approx. 1 part product to 4 parts water) to clean at the end of
installation on low-degree absorbent materials such as porcelain stoneware, ceramics,
or to clean slight inorganic residues.

3. Apply the product to the surface, covering the whole area being cleaned and distributing it
evenly and vigorously with a single-disc machine or large brush.

4. Leave the product to work for about 10-15 minutes, helping its dissolving action on the
material by passing over with a single-disc machine or large brush at more or less regular time
intervals, according to the difficulty in removing the residues that need to be dissolved. This will
boost the dissolving action of the product and give you better results.

When applied to particularly absorbent surfaces, while working with the product, it may be
necessary to pour some more onto the surface, to compensate for the product absorbed by the
material. For the best possible results, it is important for the surface to be completely covered
by a fine layer of product throughout the treatment.

This operation can be carried out using a more or less abrasive disc or brush, to be selected
according to the type of material and the type of dirt or treatment being removed. White pad:
for less dirty or more compact surfaces, such as glazed ceramics, for example. Green or light
blue pad for rough, unpolished surfaces such as cotto, terracotta, etc.

5. After the above amount of time, remove the cleaning residues by pouring a sufficient amount
of clean water onto the surface to form an emulsion with the solution on the floor; distribute
this evenly with the single-disc machine or brush, and then remove any excess. This operation is
best performed with a liquid vacuum cleaner, although alternatively, the excess liquid can be
absorbed with cloths or absorbent paper towels.

6. After removing the residues, rinse the surface thoroughly using clean water.
If the results are not completely satisfying, repeat the operation, following the steps above.

Opening to floor traffic

After rinsing the surface with water, the floor can be opened for use as soon as it is dry. When
applying the treatment again, it is necessary to wait for the surface to be completely dry, all the
way through. The amount of time for this will vary according to the type and absorption level of
the material.
