Useful Hints About Greasweep®
Paint
When cleaning up a paint spill, speed is most important. If the paint has begun to dry, use a paint thinner for oil based and water for water based to re-wet the spill. Then follow the normal how to use instructions. A medium to stiff bristle broom is recommended for this application.
Petroleum Products, Hydraulic, Brake, Transmission fluid and Motor Oil
Follow normal how to use instructions. Greasweep® becomes saturated when you can no longer see any white powder. If Greasweep® turns to a paste, remove the top coat and reapply Greasweep®.
Motor Oil/Existing Stains
Re-wet the stain with a de-greaser, work in with a broom. Immediately follow normal instructions. Repeat until stain is mostly removed.
Greases
This is probably a multi-step process. The first step is to remove what you can. Then reapply and continue until grease is absorbed. If Greasweep® turns to paste, remove top coat and reapply. If spill is large try the back of a garden rake or similar tool and this may help cut into the spill easier.
Antifreeze
Use normal drop and sweep procedure.
Food (Both Liquid and Semi-liquid)
Greasweep® will absorb Karo syrup, jams, jellies, peanut butter, vegetable oils, egg, mayonnaise, soft drinks, and juices. For all spills containing glass from the broken container, apply Greasweep® and work your broom in a circular pattern, then sweep up the glass and the absorbed liquid at the same time.
