Customer Reviews for Ghostshield 1 Gal. Non-acid Based Concrete Etcher and Cleaner

Very effective to remove dirty spots and make the concrete looks like new again.

This product did exactly what I needed it to! It cleaned my concrete walkway without any harsh smells or fumes.

I bought this product because I have a lot of metal studs in my porch and I was afraid using the one that has muratic acid. This one was great in that case because did not hurt the metal. The concrete floor was clean the way I wanted. It is was safer than the other type of concrete floor etcher.

Never again will I use another product, I really like to use the Eco-Etch 1001 to clean concrete. Does what it says it will do without me feeling like I was going to die breathing in acid fumes.

Great to use on basement floors that need to be etched or cleaned. Used a shop vac to clean up all the water and cleaner since it was used in a basement.

Very easy to use. Worked well for an interior concrete slab. Smell was great in comparison to acid cleaners.

I used it full strength, applied generously w/ bkpk sprayer, waited 10 minutes, saw no change. Maybe it works microscopically, and not on stains (dirt/mildrew). I scrubbed beforehand w/ bleach and dish detergent, and that took off all the surface dirt and lightened the stains. Oh well. I would not use again.

Non toxic. Applied in our basement without ventilation and didn't notice any toxic smells. Very easy to clean up too.

Excellent product lives up to its name - would buy again.

The product worked perfectly to prepare my basement floor for the Vapor-Tek 440

If etching is what you are trying to do I suggest you go straight for the Hydro-Etch 1000 and don't waste your time with the Eco-Etch 1001.

I thought I had my concrete ready to be stained until I sprayed water on it and found that it did not soak in all over. I purchased the Eco-Etch 1001 and mixed 1 to 1. It worked perfectly. You must scrub with a stiff push broom or scrub brush. Hard work but if you put some elbow grease in it this product works very well and for the price it is hard to beat. Would highly recommend this product.

I used it to clean concrete floors inside my house and it cleaned them very well. I used a 1 to 1 Eco-Etch 1001 to water ratio and it cleaned the concrete nicely before sealing it.

This product is excellent for use on concrete. If you want to prep a floor this is for you.

This product says it etches concrete to allow paint or coatings to penetrate and adhere but it did not give me enough surface texture to use before applying an epoxy. Had to end up acid etching the concrete with the Hydro-Etch 1000.

I used this on our basement floor before using the Vapor-Tek 440. Worked great!

Great to use on basement floors that need to be etched or cleaned. Used a shop vac to clean up all the water and cleaner since it was used in a basement.

Had to use at full strength to get some surface texture

Easy and safe to use on indoor applications with no hazardous fumes.

I did have to go back a re-do a couple spots a 2nd time, but this did the trick! The only reason I deducted 1 star was because I had to go back over a few areas instead of this just working the first time.

Used in preparation for epoxy coating for garage floor. Cleans up well.

Removed new oil and grease effectively from garage floor while giving the floor a little texture so I could apply the Epoxy 325.

Easily etched an outdoor patio. There were no hazardous fumes.

It worked great and wasn't a caustic acid.

This has worked better than other produts we have used in the past. I will definetly buy this again when it is needed.

I received a notice from our HOA, telling us we needed to remove efflorescence from block wall. I dreaded the task because concrete etchers have harsh chemicals that make it nearly impossible to apply without feeling like your lungs are getting vaporized and skin disintegrated! This product is amazing. Not only is it effective, but it doesn’t burn your skin or hurt your lungs.

This product is great to lightly etch concrete. Used with the Micro-Degreaser 1100 to remove grease stains in preparation of applying the Epoxy 325. The combination of the two products did a good job of preparing my garage for the coating.

It was easy to use and much safer than muriatic acid. It seem to have done the trick with removing efflorescence.

Worked great to remove efflorescence from our concrete block baement walls before applying a sealer

Wonderful product. Made a hard job easy!
