Directions for Use
Surface cleaning: Dilute one part Selalite with five parts water. Brush the solution onto the surface, working from the bottom upwards. Agitate with a brush to loosen dirt, then rinse off thoroughly with water. Do not allow the solution to dry on aluminium.
Persistent tarnishing: Selden permits increased contact time or a stronger solution for stubborn tarnishing. Follow the current label and manufacturer guidance for the particular surface, taking extra care with neat product and preventing the solution from drying.
Equipment descaling: The manufacturer lists manual, soak and combi-oven descaling at 1:5. Follow the equipment manufacturer's approved descaling procedure for treatment time, application and rinsing.
Restrictions and handling: Do not use on magnesium alloys or anodised surfaces. Avoid chrome and acid-sensitive materials. The concentrate is corrosive: wear chemical-resistant protective gloves and eye protection, avoid skin and eye contact and wash hands after handling. Keep in its original container, closed when not in use, and store locked up away from strong bases and oxidising agents. Follow the product label and safety data sheet.
