Let’s highlight an exciting new product from the Dry-Treat product line: Eff-Erayza. This product offers the strong cleaning power of traditional acid cleaner, but without the noxious fumes that will not burn skin upon contact but for extended use suggests wearing gloves.

Eff-Erayza™ is an acidic cleaner for removing mineral residues including:

• efflorescence,
• grout haze,
• rust marks,
• limescale and
• mortar mess.

Since Eff-Erayza does not produce noxious fumes, it can be used indoors and outdoors.

What is Eff-Erayza Commonly Used For?

This cleaner is suitable for commercial and domestic use on:

• floors,
• walls,
• facades,
• showers,
• masonry,
• brickwork,
• patios,
• driveways, and
• garage floors.

What Types of Surfaces are Well-Suited for Eff-Erayza?

Eff-Erayza is suitable for a wide range of non-acid sensitive stones and other hard surfaces, including:

• granite,
• slate,
• basalt,
• brick,
• glass,
• ceramic and porcelain tile,
• terracotta and more.

Acidic cleaners are commonly used to clean paving and poured concrete surfaces. If you are using Eff-Erayza on concrete or other cementitious surfaces, neutralize the surface as soon as possible after cleaning to minimize etching, with something alkaline, such as Oxy-Klenza dissolved in water, then rinse thoroughly with fresh water.

Just be aware that Eff-Erayza is acidic and will etch / damage acid sensitive stones such as marble, limestone, travertine and onyx as well as concrete / grout products and uncoated aluminum. Be sure to read all of the safety directions and precautions carefully before using.

Eff-Erayza offers many specific benefits. Let’s take a look at just a few…

• Highly effective for removing common mineral residues, including efflorescence, grout haze, rust marks, soap scum, lime scale and mortar mess.
• This product offers the power of dangerous traditional acids without the noxious fumes.
• Temporary contact with Eff-Erayza does not burn skin – you have some time to rinse off the product (however, rinse immediately after skin contact).
• Almost zero corrosion of metals, except uncoated aluminum.

If you are using Eff-Erazya™ to prepare a concrete floor before applying a coating its a good idea to neutralize any remaining acid. This will ensure that the substrate is stable for the coating to bond. Dissolve a cup of Oxy-Klenza™ (or other pH base cleaner) into a bucket of fresh water and pour it over the concrete that was acid etched and let it sit for a minimum of 3 minutes.  Then thoroughly flush several times with fresh water to rinse away the solution and any salts that may have formed.

Eff-Erayza is available in both one quart and five gallon sizes.
