HOW TO USE GLIXTONE STERILISING SOLUTION

Please refer to the Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the relevant product before use – links are below.

Glixtone Sterilising Solution is sold in 2 pack sizes:

  • Sterilising Solution GS37 – 5 lt pack size, ready to use, suitable for DIY use.
  • Sterilising Solution Concentrate GS36 – 240 ml bottle, requires diluting and is for use only by professional applicators. Being concentrated, it is highly economical.

Sterilising Solution GS37 for DIY use:

Dilution: Sterilising Solution GS37 is ready to use and should not be diluted.

Preparation: Completely remove all traces of loose, flaking, soft and friable paint back to a clean firm surface by scraping and/or washing. Remove mould or organic growth by scraping or brushing with a stiff fibre brush (NOT a wire brush). 

Application: Using a brush or soft nap-free cloth, liberally wash down surfaces with Sterilising Solution GS37. Allow to dry for 24 hours. A second application of Sterilising Solution GS37 is recommended for heavily infected areas. Remove excess product from brushes, then clean with water.

After treating as above, you may sometimes notice a ‘stained’ area. These are mould spores, which may grow back. To any such ‘stained’ areas, again apply some Sterilising Solution GS37 and leave the area to FULLY dry. This will kill the mould spores and seal against oxygen ingress. If there are other stains – such as water marks, rust stains etc. – then a ‘Stain Block’ should be used prior to application of Glixtone Fungi-Shield Anti Mould Paint.

When completely dry, Glixtone Fungi–Shield Anti Mould Paint can now be painted over the whole area.

 

Sterilising Solution Concentrate GS36 for professional use:

This concentrated product should only be used by professional applicators who are trained in the use of PPE, safe working practices and similar. 

Dilution: Glixtone Sterilising Solution Concentrate GS36 should be diluted before use. To use a whole 240 ml bottle, dilute with water up to a total of 5 litres. If you do not need so much diluted solution, mark off the 240 ml bottle into 5 equal parts, and dilute one part of the bottle up to 1 litre with water.

Preparation & Application: as for GS37 above, except for any ‘stained’ areas, some undiluted Sterilising Solution Concentrate GS36 can be used for extra effectiveness. Consult the Technical Data Sheet for GS36 for details.
