1. Gather necessary materials

2. Assess the area to be cleaned to estimate the amount of product you will need.

3. Please note that volumes will vary depending on surface condition, mold staining type, and severity and other factors so we encourage you to bring extra product to ensure enough to complete quality remediation work. Typically, 1 gallon of Dot Cleaner will treat between 100-500sqft depending on the application.

Mixing Well: We recommend the use of a large bucket for mixing, and a power drill and paint mixer to reduce mixing time.

Where to Mix: Side A (the Oxidizer) can be mixed at any time and location. For example, if accessing water on site is an issue, mix Side A at your facility prior to transport. Mixing Side A may take one to two minutes. Side B (the Activator) should be added to the mixture immediately before beginning the job. Mixing Side B should take seconds.

Is Hot Water Necessary? The use of hot water is preferred when mixing Dot products. Hot water can be attained from a kitchen sink, bathtub, or utility sink. That said, Dot products work effectively with any water and hot water is not required.

Spraying Equipment: Dot Cleaner will work with your preferred spraying system, but handheld or pump sprayers may not work as well on really tough jobs so we generally recommend powered sprayers. If using a handheld or pump sprayer, make sure to pump enough pressure into pump sprayer for liberal application.
