Directions for Use:
- Preparation: Make a fresh 1% solution (2 1/2 tbsp per gallon, 1 1/4 oz per gallon, or 10 grams per liter) in cold, warm, or hot water. Warm water is preferred, but use cold water for blood stains. For difficult soils, increase water temperature and use more detergent.
- Cleaning: Clean by soaking, circulating, wiping, or using an ultrasonic method. Not for use in spray machines due to foaming. For nonabrasive scouring, make a paste. Use a 2% solution to soak frozen stopcocks. To remove silver tarnish, soak in a 1% solution in an aluminum container.
- Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly, preferably with running water. For critical cleaning, perform final or all rinsing in distilled, deionized, or purified water. For food contact surfaces, rinse with potable water.
