Actichem Crete Clean

Professional Safe-Acid Cleaner for Concrete & Construction Residues

Actichem Crete Clean is a professional safe-acid concrete and residue cleaner formulated using advanced acid-replacement chemistry to deliver powerful cleaning performance without relying on traditional mineral acids. Designed for professional builders cleans, restoration work and heavy-duty surface cleaning, Crete Clean helps remove stubborn concrete residues, grout smear, limescale, efflorescence and mineral contamination from suitable hard surfaces and equipment.

Unlike conventional acid cleaners, Crete Clean uses a low-pH organic-salt technology combined with biodegradable wetting agents. This provides acid-like cleaning action while avoiding traditional acids such as hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, sulphuric and phosphoric acid. The formulation is also phosphate-free and designed with improved handling and corrosion characteristics compared with traditional acid cleaners.

⚡ Advanced Safe-Acid Technology

Crete Clean is particularly useful for professional cleaning situations where cementitious and mineral residues need to be removed efficiently. Its chemistry penetrates and loosens stubborn concrete and grout contamination, making it valuable for construction clean-ups, concrete equipment cleaning, tile restoration and hard-surface maintenance.

How to Use

  1. Prepare the surface: Remove loose dirt, dust, debris and heavy surface contamination. Protect nearby acid-sensitive materials and metals.
  2. Pre-test: Test the diluted solution on a small, inconspicuous area to confirm compatibility.
  3. Dilute as required: For heavy-duty cleaning, dilute approximately 1:4 with water. For lighter contamination, use a more dilute solution according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
  4. Apply: Apply the diluted Crete Clean evenly using a suitable sprayer, mop, brush or other appropriate applicator.
  5. Allow contact time: Allow the product sufficient time to loosen concrete, grout, mineral and construction residues. Do not allow the solution to dry on the surface.
  6. Agitate: Scrub heavily contaminated areas with a suitable brush or pad to help release stubborn residues.
  7. Rinse thoroughly: Recover the loosened contamination and rinse the treated surface thoroughly with clean water.
  8. Repeat if necessary: For heavy deposits, repeat the process rather than extending the contact time excessively.
  9. Final inspection: Check the surface and ensure all cleaning solution and loosened residues have been completely removed.
  10. Safety: Wear suitable chemical-resistant gloves, protective clothing and eye/face protection. Follow the current Actichem label, PDS and SDS before use.

Important: Crete Clean is a low-pH safe-acid/acid-replacement cleaner. Do not use it on acid-sensitive surfaces such as marble, limestone, terrazzo, engineered stone or unsuitable granite. Avoid prolonged contact with metals, and never mix it with other cleaning chemicals, particularly chlorine/bleach or alkaline products.
