Faber Wax Remover Review
Keeping the surfaces in your establishment in fresh and crisp condition is a continuous process. Maintaining that shine and protecting it from everyday wear and tear calls for frequent cleaning and applying the required surface care treatments. Over time, the existing finishes lose their appeal, and no amount of thorough cleaning will reverse this – and once it gets to this point, new applications need to be made. There are also those situations where you’re faced with greasy residue that has become so stubborn that it defies conventional cleaning areas, and calls for more potent solutions. The Faber Wax Remover has been developed to cater to such situations. It can be used for routine maintenance or renovating the surface, giving you the opportunity to have a new treatment applied – protecting the surface and leaving it with the desired finish.
Benefits Of The Faber Wax Remover
- Tough stripping power
Walking into a space that is all shiny and clean is one of life’s simple pleasures – whether it is at home, or at your workplace. The Faber Wax Remover has proven to be an asset in getting rid of the existing dirt and grease that has taken away the appeal of the space, or completely overhauling old wax treatments in readiness for new finishing processes to be carried out.
Here you get a potent wax stripper that is effective in getting rid of existing surface treatments to give your installation a fresh start, clearing away those old wax layers that are on the material. It reveals the original stone surface underneath. Waxing can then be carried out with the preferred product, to the gloss level that is ideal for your décor needs. This serves to accentuate the space, and prolong the life of the installation.
The effectiveness of the Faber Wax Remover extends to those greasy surface stains and dirt spots that have built up over time, enabling you to get rid of them and restore the original appearance of the surface. The powerful action of the formulation can also be applied to remove organic dirt and cement residues. This means you can use it to get rid of residue from growths like mould and algae that are troubling your installation.
You can also use the Faber Wax Remover as part of the “double wax stripping” process. Here, the formulation is used together with Faber Solvent Stripper, delivering an even more thorough, deeper clean. For this, start by pouring the undiluted Solvent Stripper directly on the surface being worked on, and give it 5-10 minutes as you continue working over the area with your preferred tool to enhance the cleansing action. Then, without clearing any contents from the area, add the diluted Faber Wax Remover to the surface, working it in with a broom or single disc machine.
- Alkaline-based formulation
This attribute makes the Faber Wax Remover suitable for a wide range of surfaces – including acid-sensitive materials. You can apply it onto natural stone surfaces like marble, limestone and granite, craquelé and glazed ceramics, porcelain stoneware, all through to agglomerates like marble-cement, marble-resin, and marble-quartz materials. Definitely, you should carry out a test on a hidden area or unused tile first before you use the product on the whole area – especially if the compatibility of the formulation with your particular surface has not been expressly stated.
There are a couple of things to note when using this product:
- It’s advisable to dust, sweep or vacuum that area before beginning the application. This is to remove the loose dirt and debris since this would only serve to be a nuisance during the cleansing process, especially if it muddies up the surface. Meanwhile, with a broom or vacuum, such contents can be quickly removed, leaving behind the really stubborn grime to be tackled with the Faber Wax Remover.
- Before applying the formulation, the surface should be dry.
- Any adjacent areas that are not to be worked on with the formulation should be protected e.g., by covering them.
- The Faber Wax Remover should not be mixed with any other chemical. The only product that it can be used in combination with is the Solvent Stripper, as mentioned above for the double wax stripping.
With the Faber Wax Remover, a little goes a long way. Since it comes concentrated, it will need to be diluted before use, enabling each litre of product purchased to cover a wide area. Coverage rates range between 10 and 15m² per litre, depending on the level of dilution used. Coupled with the budget-friendly pricing of the formulation, it serves to give you more bang for your buck.
Given that this is a product from Faber, you get to benefit from the added confidence and quality assurance that comes from using solutions from a globally-renowned company. The company has been around since the 1980s, and over the years has churned out hundreds of products targeting the different surface care needs. Professional installers and cleaning contractors, to repair crews, use different formulations from the 250+ product line, with the market of the brand extended through the European continent, to the Middle East and the far reaches of Asia. Turning to the Faber Wax Remover means that you’re counting on a brand that has a solid track record, certifications and bucketloads of positive client reviews – giving you the peace of mind that you can rely on the formulation to deliver on its mandate.
- Fast Application
To use the Faber Wax Remover, start by diluting it in clean water, mixing 1 part of the product with 4 parts of water. Then simply work this solution onto the target surface, rubbing it in with the preferred tool – be it a cloth, mop or single disc machine. Allow it 5 to 10 minutes to act on the surface, where the formulation will chemically break down the wax, greasy dirt and grime. After this, remove the residues from the surface, and give it a thorough rinse. The surface will then be ready for normal use.
