APPLICATION DETAILS
Preparation Protect glass and other surfaces which may be damaged by corrosion due to alkalinity.
Treatment Apply Maalipesu undiluted on hard and glossy surfaces by brush, sponge or cloth. Allow Maalipesu to take effect for a few minutes. Wash down the surface with a brush and rinse carefully with water. Undiluted Maalipesu cleans the surface and generates a matt finish that improves adhesion of the new paint coat. Latex paint surfaces and other matt surfaces can be pre-treated with Maalipesu diluted with water to the mixing ratio 1:10. Diluted Maalipesu (ratio 1:10) can also be used as a cleaning detergent. Very dirty surfaces can be treated with a stronger solution 1:5. Rinse carefully with clean water.

Apply Maalipesu cleaning agent first on a small test area of the intended surface (diluted or undiluted depending on the use).
Some paint surfaces may be damaged when using a Maalipesu mixture that is too strong.
Cleaning of tools Clean tools with water.
