  • After a good soaking with Crete Off use a stiff nylon brush and water.

  • Some tools can be soaked in trays for 30 minutes or so.
  • After using the stiff brush, wash off with a hose or a pressure washer.

Though Crete Off is a nontoxic, biodegradable product and will not harm your skin, we always recommend that you wear protective gloves and eye protection. Fumes are minimal and not harmful so a respirator is not required. We do however urge anyone with respiratory issues to wear one.
