Preparing and cleaning the surface

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

2. Do not apply NO RUG to overly heated surfaces. We recommend applying the product during
the coolest periods of the day.

3. 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

NO RUG must only be used alone. Never mix it with other chemicals, except for Faber
Poultice thickening powder

4. The product is for use without dilution. Pour the 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. When used on particularly large surfaces, such as when removing
efflorescence and dark oxidation from floors, the product can be applied and worked with a
mechanical polisher.

5. Leave the product to act on the surface until the stain has been completely extracted. The
time required will depend on the intensity of the stain, its depth, stubbornness and the amount
of time it has been there. Based on the above, it is not possible to provide an exact time period
required by the product to remove the stain. We therefore recommend that you test the
product reaction to get an idea of the time needed for a satisfactory result. In any case, the
following information can serve as a guide:

– For surface rust marks that are pale in colour, especially on compact, non-absorbent
material, the removal time is generally from 30 to 60 minutes;

– For deep, dark rust marks below the surface, especially on porous, absorbent materials,
the removal time can be from 1 to 4 hours;

– For deep, dark rust stains and oxidation that have penetrated through particularly
porous and absorbent materials, the removal time can vary from 8 to 24 hours.

For stain removal operations requiring a longer period of time, we recommend covering the
layer of product with plastic or nylon sheet. Similarly, we recommend applying a sufficiently
thick layer of product to avoid having to add more in the event that it dries too quickly. This
process allows the product better reaction with the stain rather than the surrounding
environment, increasing the effectiveness of the treatment. When covering the product, it is
important, after removing the sheet, to leave it exposed for around 30-60 minutes before
removing it and cleaning the surface.

6. After the set period of time, proceed to remove the product and its residues, whether these
are wet or dry. To remove NO RUG 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 – wet or dry – 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 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, or decide on the need to sand the surface beforehand.

When working to remove more complex, deeper rust 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.

The depth of polishing will depend on the extent of stain penetrations. For very deep stains, you
may need to work with lower grain size. This preliminary operation will achieve a much deeper
extraction and in far less time.

We always recommend that, before using stain remover on large areas, you perform an initial
test to see whether or not it is necessary to use a mechanical polisher on the surface
beforehand. Once the stain has been removed, pass over the surface until it has the required
shine.

Opening to floor traffic

7. 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 NO RUG we recommend: NEUGEL or
ALGAFLOOR

– For extraordinary cleaning of a surface treated with NO RUG we recommend: FABER 30 or
DETERFUG, according to the type of surface to be cleaned

– Following a stain removal operation using NO RUG we recommend using a damp-proofing
and/or stain-proofing treatment to be selected according to the characteristics and intended
use of the surface.
