Low Residue Floor
Stripper with a cotton mop
1. Apply stripper liberally to the floor in need of
stripping. Using a cotton mop, uniformly distribute
the solution. Let the solution sit for 7-10 minutes. Do
not let it dry.
2. Using a scrubbing machine at 175 RPM, and a
synthetic pad (green to black), scrub the area to be
stripped.
3. Clean area using hot water and the same cotton
mop.
4. Reapply Statguard

Low Residue Floor Stripper,
repeat steps 3-5.
5. Rinse area TWICE using hot water and a clean
mop.
6. Using a wet vacuum or mop, remove rinse water
from floor.
General Guidelines
Statguard
®
Low Residue Floor Stripper is designed
specifically for use with the Statguard
®
Static
Dissipative Floor Finishes and similar polymer type floor
finishes. The mild pH formulation is non-ammoniated,
phosphate-free, and biodegradable. Excellent
removability properties enable the stripper to break
up and lift multiple layers of static dissipative (ESD)
type floor finish when used on vinyl, concrete, rubber,
terrazzo, quarry tile, brick, slate, and unglazed ceramic.
It is not recommended for use on asphalt tile, linoleum
and Dutch linoleum floors; test for bleaching on a small
area first. Use in a well ventilated area.
Application
Always use in a well ventilated area or wear a suitable
respirator. Wear appropriate eye protection such as
splash goggles and impervious type protective gloves.

Testing
It is recommended to test the stripped surfaces after the
second rinse to ensure that high pH residues are rinsed
away. Some high pH strippers will leave a residue
behind even after several rinses. A high pH can effect
the floor finish curing time as well as other properties of
the finish.
To test for pH residue, test either the rinse water or the
floor using either a pH measuring instrument or a piece
of pH indicating litmus paper. The floor pH should be
pH 7.0 (neutral) before applying any Statguard
®
finish.
If after rinsing and the floor pH is still above pH 7 we
recommend using our neutralizer part number
46022.
