More about Pensselipesu - Tool Cleaner



Use the detergent in accordance with the instructions on the label

  • Protect yourself and surfaces you do not intend to wash (including windows, plants etc.) against splashes.

  • If the surface has badly ingrained dirt, use a brush or similar non-scratching tools.

  • The detergent must not be left to dry on, so avoid using it in direct sunlight.

  • After washing, rinse the detergent off the surfaces thoroughly.

  • Leave surface to dry before applying a surface treatment.

  • Test the solution on an out-of-way patch to determine the time it needs to take effect and to ensure you have the right strength of solution.

  • The amount of detergent used will depend on the cleaning requirement.
