BEAN-e-doo Mastic Remover is not recommended for use on wood surfaces. Using BEAN-e-doo might slightly darken a concrete surface.

Application: Pour BEAN-e-doo Mastic Remover undiluted directly to the substrate. Use a long handled brush or broom to ensure BEAN-e-doo at least covers all trowel ridges. Allow BEAN-e-doo Mastic Remover to sit until mastic softens (generally 45-60 minutes for asbestos mastic. Dwell time for vinyl and acrylic mastics are longer, in some cases up to 4 hours.)

Use a long handled scraper or squeegee to remove softened mastic and excess BEAN-e-doo. Generally, black mastic will dissolve into a liquid the consistency of very old engine oil, and can be scraped into a puddle. Fill the puddle with a commercial absorbent (or kitty litter), and then shovel into receptacle. All other mastics tend to lift as more solid than liquid and can be scrapped into a pile that can be picked up with a shovel.

After picking up the dissolved/lifted mastic, there will still be a slippery, film residue remaining. In most cases, mopping the floor with Franmar's Emerge will remove the residue. For best results for cleanup, after removing softened mastic, cover floor with a commercial absorbent, sweep up and then follow with a mop rinse using Emerge.

Testing surface for residues after floor has been mopped: Apply water to various small spots on the substrate. If water turns cloudy white, indicates there is BEAN-e-doo Mastic Remover on the surface. Remop using a degreaser is recommended. Then retest. Let surface dry before applying new mastic or coating.

In all cases, care should be taken not to over saturate the floor by using too much water.

In extreme cases, and/or for especially difficult floors, scrape up softened mastic, then pick up filmy residue with steam vacuum. Cover floor with a commercial absorbent, sweep up and then follow a mop rinse using Emerge. Let dry before applying new mastic or coating.

For porous and/or cracked substrates, use a commercial absorbent to help in pick up of mastic residue. Use a degreasing agent such as Franmar's Emerge when mopping surface.
