- Product Highlights
The technical aspects of this stripper, which contribute to its outstanding performance, are:
- Wetting - While some strippers possess strong surface tension, thereby causing puddling, this product wets the entire surface uniformly, producing total stripping.
- Penetration - While some strippers penetrate only part of the way into the floor finish, this product quickly and efficiently penetrates through the floor finish to release the bond to the floor.
- Emulsification - Unlike ordinary strippers, this product totally re-emulsifies multiple coats of aged floor finish, suspends the solids and allows complete removal with a mop or pickup vacuum.
- Compatibility - Realistically, not all of a wet film can be removed by any practiced technique. Since a limited residue will, therefore remain on the floor, it is critical this residue is compatible with the subsequent coats of finish. This product meets that criterion.
Simply mop the stripper on the floor and let stand for five minutes and vacuum up the liquified floor finish. There is no need to use floor machines or harsh stripping pads. This product will cut floor care costs substantially, saving time, manpower and equipment.
Applications & Uses

- Recommended Uses
Use for removing floor finishes in facilities where conventional floor equipment is either unavailable, inappropriate or awkward to use. Ideal for vinyl, composition vinyl and masonry floors. Care should be exercised when being used on rubber or linoleum surfaces. Not recommended for asphalt tile surfaces.
- Directions
Note: Test diluted product in an inconspicuous area to determine if floor surface is suitable for use of stripper. Do not use on Asphalt Tile.
- Depending on floor conditions, prepare stripping solution as follows:
- For light buildup (2-3 coats) dilute 8 oz. (1 cup) stripper to one gallon of water.
- For moderate buildup (4-7 coats) dilute 32 oz. (4 cups) stripper to one gallon of water.
- For heavy buildup (8 or more coats) dilute 42 oz. (5½ cups) stripper to one gallon of water.
- After determining the proper dilution, apply the stripping solution liberally and be certain surface is completely covered.
- Allow stripper solution to remain on surface for 5 minutes or more. (Do not allow solution to dry on floor.)
- Re-agitate the stripping solution on the floor with the same mop used for application.
- For best results, pick up solution with a wet vacuum for complete removal of liquified floor finish.
- Allow floor to dry completely before applying a finish.
Attention: Avoid contact with glass. If this product is allowed to dry on glass, a residue will be created which may not be removable. If accidentally splashed on glass, flush immediately with water before the product dries.
- Depending on floor conditions, prepare stripping solution as follows:
