When it comes to cleaning heavily soiled concrete floors in professional detail shops, mechanic bays, and industrial garages, Technician’s Choice TEC492 Powdered Orange Concrete Floor Cleaner delivers unmatched performance in a highly efficient, concentrated powder form. Formulated specifically to tackle the toughest grease, oil, tire marks, and road grime, TEC492 is a powerful, biodegradable solution that’s safe for use in body shops and environmentally conscious facilities. Its unique orange-to-green color change system not only makes it visually easy to track activation, but also ensures effective coverage during the cleaning process.
Unlike liquid floor cleaners, TEC492 is designed for deeper penetration into porous concrete, breaking down embedded contaminants and lifting them away without the need for harsh solvents or corrosive chemicals. This product leaves behind no residues, which is essential for detail bays and showrooms where slip hazards or re-soiling from film can’t be tolerated. Additionally, its pleasant pine fragrance provides a clean scent during and after use, improving the overall work environment. Whether you’re maintaining the appearance of your facility or preparing a delivery area, TEC492 is a reliable and professional-grade solution trusted by technicians nationwide.
Step-by-Step Application
- Preparation: Sweep the floor thoroughly to remove loose debris and dust.
- Mixing: Dilute the powder in warm or hot water at the desired strength (start with 1/2 to 1 cup per gallon depending on soil level).
- Application: Apply the solution evenly using a mop, floor scrubber, or pump sprayer.
- Agitation: Scrub heavily soiled areas with a floor brush or machine.
- Dwell Time: Let the solution sit for 5–10 minutes for full activation (orange powder will turn green).
- Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with clean water. A floor squeegee is recommended to help remove excess water.
- Dry: Allow the floor to air dry or use a fan to speed up the process.
Best Practices
- Use warm to hot water to accelerate breakdown of grime.
