Directions for Use:
The surface should be completely dry, clean and free of stains. Shake the bottle before use. Apply generously and evenly using a mop, brush, roller or sponge. Ensure the material is evenly distributed on polished surfaces by wiping over several times. Lithofin STAINSTOP W can also be applied with a garden pump spray and then be distributed evenly with a wide brush. Highly absorbent surfaces should receive a second application after approx. 20 minutes. Avoid puddles and drips which should be wiped away immediately. Ensure that all surplus product is removed, do not allow it to dry on the surface. Clean all tools with water immediately after use.

Drying Time:
The full effect will be achieved after 48 hours. Keep the surface free of water and oil during this time.

Some materials may appear slightly darker after treatment. We recommend an initial trial application.
Always treat the entire surface in a room. The product does not protect against acid ingress. Remove splashes on wood, glass, PVC, lacquered surfaces and mastic filled joints with a cloth.
