Clear Old Wax And Greasy Stains With The Faber Wax Remover

Surfaces take different kinds of abuse. Messes on countertops during food preparation, spills that get to floors and form stains, friction effects as people walk up and about the premises, resulting in the gradual wearing down of the surface – it all has an effect on the affected installation. That shiny surface will inevitably age over time, losing its lustre. However, with the proper care and maintenance, you can be able to keep it in optimal condition. This entails the routine cleaning, right to the total overhaul that is required when the old finishes need to be removed, and a fresh new one applied. Given that wax finishes are formulated to be durable, an even more powerful agent is needed to be able to break down the existing layers on the surface. For this, turn to the Faber Wax Remover.

Application Process

Working with this formulation is a quick process. The first this washing the surface to clear away the loose dirt and debris – these contents can be simply swept or vacuumed off. Wait for the surface to dry completely then apply the Faber Wax Remover. It needs to be diluted for use, so mix it with clean water, pouring 1 part of the wax stripper into 4 parts of water. Proceed to work this solution over the surface, using tools like cloths, a mop, or a single disc machine, depending on what you find convenient for your particular situation. Give the product 5-10 minutes to act on the substances on the surface, then clear all the contents, and thoroughly rinse the floor. If there is any residue that has remained, you can repeat the process, using less dilution. Normal traffic can then be allowed back onto the area.

To get optimal results:

The surface being treated should not be overly heated. Its temperature should range between 5 and 40°C.

During the 5-10 minutes period after application where you’re waiting for the product to chemically break down the grime, wax and other residues from the surface, you can continue agitating it with the cleaning tool you’re using. This compilation of mechanical and chemical action will further enhance the effectiveness of the cleaning operations.

You can also use the Faber Wax Remover together with the Solvent Stripper for even more deep cleaning. This process is called “double wax stripping”. Here are the steps to follow for this.

Sweep or vacuum away the coarse dirt and debris.
Apply the undiluted Solvent Stripper. For this, simply pour it onto the target surface and use the desired equipment to work it onto the areas.
Wait for 5 – 10 minutes.
Pour the Faber Wax Remover onto the surface using the process described above.
With the chosen cleaning tool, continue working the wax stripper onto the area, then clear away the residues and rinse the surface.

Just like when using the Faber Wax Remover alone, the surface should be completely dry before application. Also, for cases where you’re working on recently laid tiles or grouted surfaces, let the adhesive or grout to cure before cleaning the installation with these formulations.

Another popular application of the Faber Wax Remover is getting rid of cement residues, especially when they are on acid-sensitive materials. This makes it an asset during the post-installation cleanup jobs on materials like marble where you want a powerful cleaning agent that will remain gentle on these sensitive installations. Note that this wax stripper should never be mixed with any other chemicals unless it has been expressly stated so, as is the case of the double wax stripping with the Faber Solvent Stripper.
