Top Tips for MOLECULE [HS] HARDSCAPE SHAMPOO
- Molecule [HS] should be applied within an ambient and surface temperature range of 40°- 90° F (4.4-32 C). Shaded, low sunlight, or colder areas will lengthen workability times. Conversely, direct sun, warmer areas will shorten workability times. Avoid temperatures at or below freezing (0 C) or above 100° F (38 C) for application or storage.
- Do not allow Molecule [HS] to dry completely on surfaces before or after scrubbing. If shampoo dries, reapply shampoo over dried area, scrub, and rinse as soon as possible.
- Molecule [HS] contains a supplemental sealer component designed to penetrate and bolster original applications. It can be used to clean and prepare surfaces for Molecule brand sealer applications and for regular wash and wax maintenance coats afterward
- Avoid overspray onto adjacent surfaces such as houses, sheds, cars, or other surfaces as it can stain if allowed to dry. Mask or shield while applying to prevent overspray. Clean overspray areas immediately by scrubbing and rinsing with water as needed.
- For general maintenance, Molecule [HS] can be applied and rinsed off with high pressure water. For tougher staining, scrub shampoo with soft to medium bristle brush before rinsing with water
