Maintenance and Storage

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your TECH Grout Cleaner:

• Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Keep the bottle tightly closed when not in use to prevent evaporation and contamination.
• Ensure all cleaning tools (brushes, mops) are thoroughly rinsed with water after use.
• The product uses recyclable packaging materials. Please recycle the bottle after use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using TECH Grout Cleaner, consider the following:

• Grout not cleaning effectively:
  • Ensure the area was swept or vacuumed thoroughly before application.
  • Allow the cleaner to penetrate for the recommended few minutes. For heavily soiled areas, a slightly longer penetration time (e.g., 5-10 minutes) might be beneficial, but do not let it dry on the surface.
  • Use a stiff bristle brush and apply sufficient scrubbing pressure.
  • Repeat the application and scrubbing process for stubborn stains.
• Residue left behind:
  • Ensure you are mopping or wiping the area thoroughly with warm water to remove all excess cleaner and dirt.
  • For very dirty floors, multiple rinses with clean warm water may be necessary.
• Product not recommended for black mold removal: This product is designed for dirt, grease, and general stains, not specifically for mold.
