Zep Heavy-Duty Floor Stripper Concentrate 5 Gallon – Ammonia Free

Description

Product Overview

Zep Heavy‑Duty Floor Stripper Concentrate is engineered for professional‑grade floor maintenance in both commercial and residential environments. This 5‑gallon pail delivers a high‑alkaline, ammonia‑free formula that attacks stubborn polish, wax, and heavy buildup on a wide range of interior hard‑floor surfaces, including vinyl composition tile (VCT), concrete, rubber, and terrazzo. The low‑foam, fast‑acting concentrate is designed for use with a scrubbing machine, cotton mop, or mop bucket equipped with a wringer, allowing you to achieve a deep clean with minimal effort. One gallon of concentrate yields nine gallons of ready‑to‑use solution, providing excellent coverage and cost efficiency. The product dimensions are 10.8 x 10.4 x 14.7 inches, weighing 43.35 pounds, and it has been a best‑seller in the Commercial Floor Cleaners sub‑category since its launch in September 2018.

Usage

This floor stripper is suitable for a variety of settings where floor finishes have become dull, scuffed, or heavily layered with previous applications. In retail stores, schools, hospitals, and manufacturing facilities, the concentrate can be mixed with water at a 1:9 ratio and applied with a low‑foam mop or a rotary floor machine. The solution penetrates the finish, loosening it for easy removal without the need for aggressive scrubbing. Because the formula is ammonia‑free, it is safer for operators and reduces the risk of damaging sensitive floor substrates. It is not recommended for use on marble, natural stone, or wood floors, as the high‑alkaline nature may cause discoloration. For optimal results, follow up with a neutral pH floor cleaner or a Zep floor sealer to protect the newly stripped surface and extend the life of the next finish.
