Setup
Before application, ensure the area is clear of debris. The F9 BARC concentrate needs to be mixed with clean water. One gallon of F9 BARC can make 1.5 to 3 gallons of cleaner, depending on the severity of the stain and desired concentration. Always use clean water for mixing.
For optimal application, a pressure washer with a soap container is recommended. Pour the mixed solution into the pressure washer's soap container. Refer to your pressure washer's manual for specific instructions on filling the soap container and adjusting settings for chemical application.
Operating Instructions
- Preparation: Ensure the surface to be cleaned is dry. Apply the F9 BARC solution evenly over the stained area using a pressure washer or a suitable sprayer.
- Dwell Time: Allow the solution to sit on the surface for a few moments. The exact dwell time may vary based on stain severity and surface type. Do not let the solution dry on the surface.
- Agitation (Optional): For stubborn stains, gently agitate the area with a power washing scrub brush or a stiff-bristled brush.
- Rinsing: Thoroughly rinse the treated area with a pressure washer or a garden hose with strong pressure. Ensure all cleaner residue is removed.
- Repeat if Necessary: For very old or deep stains, a second application may be required.
Important Safety Information:
- Do not use F9 BARC on glass surfaces.
- Always test on an inconspicuous area first to ensure compatibility and desired results.
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection during handling and application.
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
