Directions for Use

Routine Maintenance

Dust mop floors daily. If a floor treatment is used, use only a compatible water-based treatment and follow the treatment manufacturer's label instructions.

Tacking Procedure

1. Dilute Squeaky™ at 1:4 according to the manufacturer's directions.

2. Soak large towels in the prepared solution until thoroughly wet.

3. Wring out excess moisture.

4. Wrap the towel around a push broom and tack the floor.

5. Refold the towel using clean sections as needed to prevent redepositing dirt and oil.

6. Pay particular attention to corners and heavily soiled areas.

7. Continue until the entire floor has been cleaned.

Automatic Scrubber

Dilute 2–4 oz. per gallon of water. No rinsing is required when used according to the manufacturer's routine-cleaning directions.

Interim Maintenance

For heavy spot cleaning, dilute at 1:4 in a spray bottle. Spray the affected area and wipe dry.

Restorative Maintenance

For wet screening, dilute 2–4 oz. per gallon of water. Use white or red floor pads with a 175 RPM floor machine or automatic scrubber to prepare the floor for new coating application. Rinse thoroughly and remove all residue before recoating.

Always follow Betco's current label and technical documentation for complete dilution, application, equipment, safety, and floor-compatibility instructions.
