SafeRestore : MSDS : Specification
SafeRestore is a breakthrough product in the restoration industry. Capable of removing the deepest pollution stains from limestone and brick, it is safely used to restore glass and anodized aluminum. This product can remove virtually any metal oxide stain including copper stains and can be an effective coating and efflorescence remover. Safe for most surfaces and people, with low odor during use, SafeRestore is a great choice for cleaning and restoring public buildings. Colleges, schools, hospitals, government facilities, and offices have had SafeRestore specified and successfully used for restoration and maintenance.

GS Restoration : MSDS : Specification
Glazed Surface Restoration (GSR) is a very effective flouride salt masonry cleaner. Originally designed for glazed brick and terra cotta cleaning, formulary advancements now allow us to use GSR as an equivalent for hydroflouric acid chemistry. Experienced users of this product know it can clean most all porous and glazed surfaces and still allow you to not cover glass. This is our least expensive restoration detergent and it has a good degree of safety compared to HF.

Stripper Cream : MSDS : Specification
Stripper Cream is a thickened multilayer paint remover with excellent consistency that can be sprayed, rolled or brushed with equal ease. The stripper is ready to use right out of the container. The cream has a very pleasant odor. This alkaline product when applied to paint is very slow to dry out and can remain on the surface for days. Stripper Cream makes an excellent graffiti remover for porous unpainted masonry surfaces. The product also removes black crust from limestone and brick; the worst blackness from sandstone; caps, sills and foundations.

A.R.T. : MSDS : Specification
A.R.T.'s unique chemistry is a solvent based resin system designed for treating the surface of anodized aluminum to renew the satin luster that has been damaged by environmental or chemical pollutants. A.R.T. stays on the surface for extended periods yet will not crack lift or peel and is easily removed for retreatment. This easy to use product is nonhazardous and nonflammable.

Urban Gelrilla : MSDS : Specification
Urban Gelrilla is versatile, has great cleaning power, and is safe to use. It is capable of removing the deepest pollution stains, and mineral and metal oxide stains from a wide variety of surfaces.

=Substrate=
Aluminum
Aluminum Siding
Cleansol works well when cleaning aluminum siding. Dilute from 4:1 to 20:1 for brushless results, then rinse with a pressure washer.
Aluminum Trim, Architectural
To clean aluminum trim, use SafeRestore undiluted. Instead of brushing, use a double application without rinsing in between each application. Finish with a pressure wash rinse.
Anodized Aluminum, Cleaning
SafeRestore will safely clean anodized sluminum and will not etch glass. Its best functions are to remove existing oxidation and provide surface resistance to new oxidation. This cleaner is capable of removing pollution and many sealers as well, but will not remove the pits that occur from neglect.
Anodized Aluminum, Restoration
After cleaning with SafeRestore , follow up with an application of Anodized Restoration Treatment (A.R.T.) to restore the surface to a "like new" appearance. The product should be applied straight to a clean, dry surface and allowed to air dry.

Brick
Use SafeRestore or Glazed Surface Restoration . See product instructions.

Concrete
SafeRestore remains the best option for removing metal and mineral oxide stains including rust, lead and copper. For oil stains, use Heavy Duty Degreaser and apply straight with a low pressure sprayer. The stains will also benefit from a brushing after application. This will drive the degreaser deeper into the pores of the concrete and allow it to lift out any shadows. Glazed Surface Restoration (GSR) is the the most economical solution for large concrete structures such as parking garages which may have numerous oil stains. Apply GSR up to 20:1 and finish with a high pressure rinse.

EIFS
In one application, SafeRestore easily removes stains caused by hydrocarbons such as traffic exhaust as well as. The best application is straight. SafeRestore can be applied with a low pressure sprayer. Use two applications several minutes apart without allowing the product to dry or rinsing between applications. Cleansol at 4:1 to 10:1 dilutions also works very well on EIFS.

Glass
SafeRestore is great on glass. It will remove atmospheric staining, concrete leachate, silicate soap stains, paint wash stains and many sealers safely, quickly and easily. Generally, one application of undiluted SafeRestore , misted or wiped, then rinsed, will remove these stains.

Granite
SafeRestore will remove most all stains found on the surface. Undiluted, SafeRestore may be applied with a simple “spray on/spray off” application. Glazed Surface Restoration (GSR) may be applied at dilutions ranging up to 20:1, depending on the type of soil staining. There are no special cautions for SafeRestore or GSR on granite.

Gutters
Gutters can be cleaned with Cleansol BC at 4:1, then applied twice, or use SafeRestore undiluted.

Limestone
Stripper Cream will remove black crust from limestone efficiently. Prewet the surface and apply undiluted by roller or spray using adequate thickness. The product may be diluted up to 4:1 for mineral stains that are not dimensional. Rinse with a pressure washer, being careful not to harm the surface.

Marble
Use SafeRestore to clean unpolished marble at dilutions from straight to 10:1 and apply with a low pressure sprayer. Rinse with a pressure washer.

Slate
To clean normal soil on slate, use Cleansol BC . For more difficult stains such as water hardness and metal or mineral oxides, use SafeRestore . Apply straight with a low pressure sprayer or at dilutions up to 4:1. Rinse with a garden hose or pressure washer.

Teflon Panels
SafeRestore is excellent for cleaning teflon panels. The best application range is straight or 4:1. SafeRestore is best applied with a low pressure applicator. Apply two applications several minutes apart without allowing the product to dry or rinsing between each application. Cleansol is an excellent product for maintenance cleaning.

Terra Cotta
Glazed Surface Restoration (GSR) or SafeRestore are both good options for terra cotta restoration. The best application rate is straight. Both GSR and SafeRestore can be applied with a low pressure applicator. The best use of the products is two applications several minutes apart without allowing the product to dry or rinsing in between.

=Stain=
Asphalt Removal
May be accomplished with a solvent such as C-TAR Melt or a special water-based cleaner such as SafeRestore which is much less likely to leave a shadow. Use both undiluted.

Calcium
Use SafeRestore undiluted.

Clay Stains
SafeRestore is recommended for clay stain removal. Apply with a low pressure sprayer at a 4:1 dilution. Finish with a pressure washer rinse.

Coating Removal
SafeRestore or Graf-Ex will remove many coatings from glass.

Copper Stains
Use SafeRestore undiluted. A copper stain may show up as blue, green or black depending on the elements it reacts with to cause the stain. Generally, an undiluted application repeated twice before rinsing, will remove the stain.

Graffiti
LCS is a water-based stripper that has a wide range of applications and is best suited for porous surfaces such as block, brick and sandstone. It can be applied undiluted using a low pressure sprayer. Allow the LCS to remain on the surface for 15 minutes and finish with a pressure wash rinse. Stripper Cream is recommended for the removal of graffiti on limestone because it will not change the color of the stone or damage its structural quality. Rinse with a pressure washer. The stripper may be rolled or brushed on to help it penetrate deep into the pores of the stone. For large areas, spraying would be beneficial.

Gum Shadows
Gum shadows can be removed after pretreating the surface with SafeRestore . The best application rate is straight. SafeRestore can be applied with a low pressure applicator and should be left on for 5- to 15-minutes. Finish with high pressure rinse.

Rust Stains
Concrete: SafeRestore is the first choice to remove stains. Glazed Surface Restoration (GSR) will also remove rust stains from concrete. Apply the product at a dilution range of 4:1 to 10:1 with a low pressure sprayer and rinse with a high pressure washer.
Limestone and steel: SafeRestore will melt rust stains quickly and help prevent re-oxidation. The best application rate is straight. SafeRestore can be applied with a low pressure applicator. The best use of the product is two applications several minutes apart without allowing the product to dry or rinsing between each application.

Sealant Stains
SafeRestore is an excellent treatment for sealant stains. Apply straight with a low pressure sprayer and follow with a high pressure rinse.

Vanadium Stain
Vanadium stains are usually a yellow-green discoloration on the face of brick. Vanadium stains cannot be brushed off because of water migrating through the bricks and brought to the surface. Use SafeRestore straight to remove vanadium stains.
