CARE & MAINTENANCE
Cleaning

To remove dust or debris use a soft bristle brush to clean surface. If necessary use mild soap and scrub surface. Rinse with water to remove any soap from the surfaces. Do not use a wire brush, acid cleaners, bleach, acetone, paint remover, pressure washer or any other type of concrete cleaner products are incorporated or damage to any other property.

Efflorescence

Efflorescence arises when moisture (water) moving through the substrate. When the moisture (water) is on the surface it evaporates and depositing dissolved salts in the form of efflorescence. Cleaning efflorescence can be done by lightly scrubbing the surface with a soft bristle brush and water. Efflorescence naturally disappears when the moisture source is eliminated. Do not use any harsh methods of cleaning.

Sealing

It is not required to seal Terrado. Some customers like to utilize a sealer to help protect the surfaces from buildup. If you elect to use a sealer only breathable penetrating water based silane sealers should be used. Note sealers may darken or alter the appearance of the material.
