Remove Stubborn Dirt With The Faber Deep Degreaser
Foot and vehicle traffic slowly take away the appeal of floors, transforming them into a dirty and pale shadow of their former selves. Greasy dirt that is transferred from onto indoor spaces as people walk up and about, oily residue forming black patches on garage floors, rubber and tire marks on warehouse floors as forklifts haul cargo – these all impact the look and feel of the surface. The buildup of such kinds of grime needs a powerful formulation to deal with them. Melted residue and particles that have been trapped by the micropores of the surface are also particularly problematic, requiring strong extraction measures to be able to remove them. The Faber Deep Degreaser comes in to tackle these challenges, and restore the charm to your surfaces.
Tough on Dirt, Gentle on Surfaces
Working on those soiled surfaces is a breeze with the Faber Deep Degreaser. That old dirt build up that has been resisting conventional cleaners is easily worked on by this alkaline-based degreaser. It is effective in eliminating stubborn dirt, soiling that has been tracked into the premises underfoot, all through to rubber and tire marks in garages at home, warehouse floors, and driveways, whether it is from cars, trucks or forklifts. That grime that has been trapped by the micropores of the surface is dealt with firmly, in order to restore the charm to the surfaces. It achieves this due to the extractive action of the formulation, reaching into the pores and dissolving the substances.
You can use the Faber Deep Degreaser for home or commercial applications. A regular mop or even a white pad will suffice for quick cleaning in households, while in commercial spaces one can work with the larger floor scrubbers or single-disc machines that are used for heavy-duty cleaning. The formulations will deliver on the task, from dealing with the gunk on floors in residential and commercial budlings, the greasy residue that is out on carparks and driveways. Here, you’re getting a product that is backed by over 30 years of quality and reliability, given that the brand that produces it, Faber, has been in the surface care industry since 1986. The company has spearheaded development in the niche, with heavy investments in the R&D laboratories yielding over 250 products catering to diverse surface care needs. The products are trusted by stone and tile manufacturers, builders and architects, professional installers, cleaning contractors, all through to the repair and maintenance crew.
This alkaline detergent gives you enhanced versatility due to its compatibility with a wide range of surfaces, all through to sensitive surfaces such as polished marble, ceramic or porcelain tiles. The Faber Deep Degreaser is suitable for working on both indoor and outdoor installations. It is also safe for the grout. To confirm whether the product is ideal for your particular situation, it is recommended that you carry out a spot test on an inconspicuous section of the area that you intend to work on.
Quick Degreasing
The formulation makes removing that stubborn grime and residue clinging to the floor a breeze. Follow these steps:
- Start by preparing the surface. Here the goal is to clear away the loose debris that is on the area being worked on. Dust, coarse dirt and similar substances will simply get wet during the cleaning, muddying the process and increasing your workload. On the other hand, sweeping or vacuuming them off allows the cleaning action of the Faber Deep Degreaser to be focused on the remaining stubborn residue.
- Dilute the detergent with water. The dilution ratio will depend on the kind of residue being removed; especially how stubborn it is. Usually, mixing 1 part of detergent with 3 parts of water will be enough. However, you can also use a 1:2 ratio for situations where the dirt is particularly troublesome.
With extremely stubborn dirt, the Faber Deep Degreaser can be applied undiluted, which is also the case for situations where you’re removing surface patina.
- Proceed to wash the floor with the solution, working into onto the area with your preferred tool – like a cloth or mop. For larger surfaces, using a single disc machine can be more efficient.
- Leave the detergent on the area for 10-20 minutes, for it to chemically act on the dirt and residue, dissolving them for easy removal.
- Clear the contents from the floor and give it a thorough rinse.
It’s that simple. The powerful action of the Faber Deep Degreaser enables it to do the heavy lifting for you, breaking down the gunk that has adhered to the surface for you to simply clean it off. The tools that you have worked it can be treated with water.
One of the benefits of using the Faber Deep Degreaser is that it also has different complementary products that can be used for subsequent cleaning and maintenance tasks around the premises. For instance, after using this detergent to clear away the stubborn dirt and grime, the day-to-day cleaning afterwards can be carried out using formulations such as the Faber Neutral Cleaner or the Floor Cleaner. These have been provided by the same brand, and have their particular target applications, especially with regard to the types of surfaces to be worked on.
Extra note: In case there is a spillage of this alkaline detergent, you can simply soak it up with an absorbent material like paper towels or sawdust, and safely dispose these contents.
