Questions & Answers
Clean house brick that has grey stain from new concrete porch that wash on brick
If your new concrete splattered the brick before it cured(while wet), the ER100 will not help. You may need a stronger acid to remove such a stain.
Will this remove old Rust stains on a concrete porch?
The ER100 is not recommended for rust removal. The Armor Rust Remover is a better choice for rust stains.
Is this product safe to use around plants, flowers and vegetable gardens?
Hi Joseph, with any chemical being used, we always suggest fully covering any area that the chemical is not intended for. You do not want to get any chemicals on your vegetables, and to be safe, I wouldn't getting chemicals on your plants or flowers.
Will this product remove efflorescence deposits on sandstone rocks surrounding swimming pool?
The ER100 is not recommended for sandstone.
Will this discolor pavers?
The ER100 is a masonry cleaner and should not discolor pavers when properly diluted, used and neutralized(4 gallons of water mixed with one quart of house-hold ammonia). It's an acid detergent mixture.
Does this product works on Cambridge Ledgestone?
If your Cambridge Ledgestone is cast concrete, the ER100 should work. Please refer to Cambridge technical data sheet for additional data regarding surface cleaning. The ER100 is a concentrated acid/detergent cleaner.
will this take off old plaster and make the brick look new?
This product will not remove old plaster. It's best for removing mineral deposits from a surface.
What happens if you only rinse the solution with water and not ammonia or baking soda?
Baking soda and ammonia help neutralize the acid within the cleaner. If the cleaner is diluted enough and rinsed with a high volume of water, it may be enough to remove and dilute the acid to avoid degrading the concrete. Foundation Armor still recommends neutralizing the cleaner with ammonia or water (play it safe).
