The Importance High-Pressure Cleaning
The job of high pressure cleaning can be done easier & quicker by simply using AquaTuff in correct dosages. Using a high pressure cleaner alone, without any CLEANER, will not achieve optimal cleaning results High-pressure cleaning primarily refers to cleaning of Hard surfaces, such as Decks, Tanks, Engine-rooms, etc. and in the majority of cases the cleaning is done according to the so-called two-step method:
Step 1: Spraying the AquaTuff over the area to be cleaned.
Step 2: Washing down the area using a high-pressure water jet.
After the AquTuff has been sprayed on the surface and before the wash down begins, the chemicals penetrates & thoroughly moistens dirt & other grime. During wash down, the AquaTuff thoroughly dissolves the particles of dirt, even oil and fat, in the water spray and thus achieves optimal cleaning results.In addition to being more effective, the use of AquaTuff substantially reduces the time required for the Cleaning operation, as well as preventing dirt from reforming on the surface. The use of AquaTuff in correct dosages is half the job done.
General Cleaning :- AquaTuff can be used for all types of cleaning & degreasing & may be applied by Brush, Hand spray, high and low pressure washing machines etc. Time necessary for cleaning depends on the nature and thickness of the deposits. 20-30 min. will suffice for most applications. Hardened, carbonised or aged deposits may require up to 4 hours. If the cleaning solution is not heavily contaminated, it may be re-used at a later stage. If allowed to cool, the de-gassing procedure must be repeated. Depending on degree of contamination AquaTuff should be mixed with warm water at a rate of 50-200 ml per 10 litres. i.e. 1 cup of AquaTuff to a bucket of water. AquTuff solution can be applied simply by mops, brushes or rags, or by dipping the soiled articles into the Aquatuff solution. After cleaning, rinse off with cold or warm water.
