FAQs

What surfaces can I use this cleaner on?

The Zep Driveway, Concrete, and Masonry Cleaner Concentrate is suitable for driveways, patios, asphalt, slabs, and concrete surfaces.

How do I dilute the cleaner?

For light soils, mix 250ml of cleaner per 5L of hot water. For heavy soils, mix 500ml of cleaner per 5L of hot water. Use the product undiluted for oil stains.

How long should I leave the cleaner on the surface?

Avoid prolonged contact (over 10 minutes) to prevent surface damage. Do not allow the solution to dry on the surface.

What should I do if the cleaner damages my surface?

Immediately rinse the area thoroughly with water. Damage could indicate that a sealer was removed. Refinishing the surface may be required. Always test in an inconspicuous area before full application.

Is it safe to use around plants?

Saturate plants, shrubs, and grass around the cleaning area with water before and after pressure washing to protect them. Rinse the plants thoroughly if any cleaner comes into contact with them.

Can I use this cleaner on unsealed concrete?

Yes, but scrub vigorously to ensure the solution penetrates the pores. Be aware that the cleaner may remove any protective coatings or sealers.

What should I do for rust stains?

For stubborn rust stains or mineral deposits, consider using Zep Commercial Calcium, Lime & Rust Stain Remover.

Troubleshooting

Cleaner is not effectively removing stains.

Ensure the correct dilution ratio is used for the type of stain. For stubborn stains, increase contact time (up to 10 minutes) or scrub vigorously. If needed, reapply and scrub.

Surface appears damaged or discolored after cleaning.

Immediately rinse the area thoroughly with water. The cleaner may have removed a protective coating or sealer. Consider refinishing the surface if necessary. Always test in an inconspicuous area before full application.
