Q: Will the residue remover disolve or remove any of the jointing compound in the joints?
A: The residue remover will only remove excess residues from sweep-in jointing compounds. It will not remove the jointing compound itself
Q: Can I rinse off the residue remover with a hose and spray gun rather than a pressure washer? I had my slabs cleaned by pressure washer then then jointing topped up with Sika fast fix sweep-in compound. I was going to seal them read your instructions about cleaning after using a jointing compound...it feels like a merry-go-round! I'm worried that using a pressure washer again will threaten the jointing.
A: If you rinse the residue remover of whilst agitating the surface with a broom, this will avoid the need to use a pressure washer. Hope that helps.
Q: A handy man sprayed our house with a sealant for stone, unfortunately some of the sealant has sprayed on to our windows, can you suggest how we can remove this from our window.
A: It would be best to first find out what sealer your handyman had used and speak to the company regarding a remover. If you're not having any luck, you can get in touch with our technical team online or over the phone to see if there is an alternative product you can use..

This is great product for cleaning natural stone would recommend to anyone
I contacted Smartseal Technical section with my problem that the builders had left us with (a right mess) and the Residue Remover and Limestone Sealant as recommended by Smartseal worked a treat. I cannot recommend Smartseal staff or the products enough.
