Application Instructions

HD Britenol is designed for professionals but may be applied by the homeowner by brush or with a low pressure sprayer. 

The best use of the product is to use two applications spaced several minutes apart without allowing the product to dry on the surface. 

The first pass is to penetrate and the second to lift the stain out. 

This product can be used in a two step or acid then alkaline cleaning system with Cleansol. 

• The two step system creates neutralization and will boost performance in difficult areas, such as under eaves. 
• Apply HD Britenol first, then Cleansol, then rinse. 
• Rinsing can be a garden hose or a pressure washer for a deeper clean. 

Coverage Rates

 Coverage will vary from 100 - 250 sq. ft. per diluted gallon depending on the surface porosity, texture and severity of staining.
