Floor Stripper usage rates and how to dilute & use floor strippers
In the realm of floor maintenance, understanding the usage rates and proper dilution of floor strippers is essential for effective cleaning. Whether it’s vinyl, tiles, terrazzo, or textured floors, each surface demands specific treatment and dilution ratios for optimal results.
A 5Lt of AP400 Instastrip will make up 20Lt of RTU solution (1:4 dilution) which will be able to strip approximately 300m2 (1Lt per 15m2) on a vinyl floor. If this is on tiles the rate would drop to 200m2 (1Lt per 10m2).
For AP404 Powerstrip, a 5Lt will make up 20Lt of RTU solution (1:4 dilution) which will be able to strip approximately 200m2 (1Lt per 10m2) of tiled (eg terrazzo) floor. If the floor is porous or textured the rate would drop to 150m2 (1Lt per 7.5m2).
The Powerstrip can also be used at up to 1:9 dilution (5Lt makes 50Lt) if the sealer being stripped is a water-based polymer.
Remember that Powerstrip must not be used on vinyl.
