How to use ClearScale

Dilute ClearScale to between 1% and 7% for most jobs, and use it neat on blocked drains and heavy soil. For washroom deep cleans, spray it on, leave it for 10 minutes, scrub and rinse.

Washroom deep clean, apply: spray with a pressurised sprayer, starting at the top of the walls and coating all surfaces including toilets, basins and urinals.

Dwell: allow a 10 minute contact period.

Scrub: scrub the sprayed surfaces by hand to loosen embedded soil.

Rinse: rinse thoroughly with a high-pressure water sprayer.

Dry: do not wipe surfaces down; let them dry naturally to prevent cross contamination. Swab test if required.
