SDI CitraPro Concentrated Cleaner/Degreaser

CitraPro is the recommended initial cleaning product for use diluted with up to 25 parts water to 1 part CitraPro for light duty cleaning and more concentrated for stubborn stains.  CitraPro may also be used after the stain has fully reacted to assist in the cleaning process prior to final rinsing before sealing.  Apply CitraPro over the entire surface and lightly scrub to remove dirt and oils.  For heavy oil or grease spots use undiluted.  Rinse well. 

SDI Super Blue Concrete Renovator

Super Blue is a mild acidic detergent that etches and cleans any concrete surface.  Its use is recommended prior to applying stain to enhance the color and penetration of the stain (especially on machine-troweled floors) as well as increase adhesion of the sealer.  It is not necessary  to neutralize, simply rinse well and let dry before sealing.  Dilute Super Blue with 2-3 parts water to 1 part Super Blue, Spray or mop over the concrete surface applying liberally.  Allow to penetrate for about 5 minutes, scrub lightly with brush or broom then rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely.  If spraying, use an acid resistant sprayer.
