Diedrich's Manufactured Stone Cleaner

This is the product to use for cleaning manufactured stone, with special appeal for environmentally conscious architects and customers.

Manufactured Stone Cleaner is an organic proton with chelator for use in the final cleanup of new masonry construction (use within 3 to 7 days for best results). Formulated to meet state and federal specifications where muriatic/hydrochloric acids are not allowed, it efficiently cleans off residual mortar smears and day-to-day soiling that occurs on job sites. Also works well on sand faced brick, brick, stone, tile, exposed aggregate and several other types of new masonry construction. An extended dwell time permits a safer concentration to be used in comparison to the customary harsh, dangerous muriatic acid washes, and results in equal if not better cleaning with less harmful acid exposure.

Available in: 1, 5 and 55 gallons
