Like muriatic acid, it removes rust stains and efflorescence, yet it's non-toxic and non-corrosive to skin. After use, wash the surface thoroughly before applying anything else. It's the perfect prep for our GBS Penetrating Sealer, Penetrating Gloss Sealer or any other coatings or finishes. MiroEtch will clean the surface, remove anything that may inhibit absorption, open the pores if they've been compressed, and neutralize the pH. This product is specially formulated to be a fast-acting, high-performance solution. It will get rid of what's not wanted, and yet it won't harm or deteriorate masonry surfaces when used properly. MicroEtch is water-soluble, economical and easy-to-use. Use MicroEtch to clean or etch sidewalks, driveways, buildings, floors, ramps, brick pavers, stucco, cinder block or any masonry surface.
