CUTEK® Quickclean is the perfect way to regularly keep all your wood clean, and it prepares wood to optimize the performance of maintenance coats of CUTEK® Extreme CD50 or CUTEK® Wood Preservative.
- It will easily remove dirt, grease and grime from your outside surfaces as well as even out CUTEK® Colourtone that has started to wear or erode unevenly on your wood.
- CUTEK® Quickclean is a concentrate that should be diluted with water. The dilution will vary depending on the build-up of dirt/grease on the surface.
Safety and precautions:
Before you begin to Prepare and Protect your timber, note the hazards and precautions on this label and ensure that you have obtained and know how to use the correct safety equipment. CUTEK® Quickclean is a hazardous chemical. It is important to refer to the health and safety considerations listed in the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to commencement of your project.
When using CUTEK® Quickclean all adjacent surfaces and vegetation must be adequately protected. It is also important to be aware of the potential for damaging wind drift into areas with cars or pedestrian traffic when rinsing. Water flush all equipment, vegetation, paths, concrete, asphalt and other adjacent surfaces before and after contact.
Available Sizes: 2.5L,5L,10L
It is important for the user to pre-determine the suitability of CUTEK® Quickclean for its intended application. ALWAYS do a test area prior to applying to any large sections. As surface types and conditions can vary significantly, pre-testing will enable you to accurately estimate the dilution, time and amount of CUTEK® Quickclean required to complete your project, and enable you to perfect the cleaning technique that works best in your situation
- Application:
- Dilute the CUTEK® Quickclean concentrate with water as required and complete a test patch to ensure that the dilution being used is effective in cleaning.
- Wet your substrate with water prior to applying CUTEK® Quickclean. Apply CUTEK® diluted Quickclean liberally with a brush, roller, lambswool applicator or broom. Let CUTEK® Quickclean do the work by leaving it on the surface for 5 to 15 minutes depending on the severity of dirt/soiling/grease. It may be necessary to scrub stubborn stains moderately with a stiff fibre brush.
- Removal:
Once CUTEK® Quickclean has cleaned the substrate, it must be water rinsed off thoroughly. For best results, power rinse methodically with a high-pressure washer set to approximately 50 bar (750 p.s.i.) with a fan jet pattern.
CAUTION must be used when power rinsing to avoid damage to the wood fibre and ‘furring up’. Adjust your cleaning process by reducing the pressure or adjusting your operating distance from the substrate to avoid damage.
- Clean from the highest point and work down methodically using long even strokes in the direction of the grain. DO NOT use “turbojets” on timber.
- For situations where strong water washing is not practical, wash off with clean water from a bucket or a garden hose using a light scrubbing action with a stiff brush.
- Clean-Up:
Equipment may be cleaned with water. Ensure wash water is disposed in accordance with local regulations.
