Divide dilution into cost per gallon. Examples:

Example 1
256 dilution selling at
$12.30 per gallon:
$12.30 / 256 = .048 or
approximately 5 cents per gallon ready to use.

Example 2
1:1O dilution selling at $4.00
per gallon: $4.00 / 11 = .36
or 4 cents per gallon ready to use

Divide ounces per gallon into 128

Example:
1 1/2 oz, per gallon dilution 128 / 1.5 = 85
answer = 1:85 dilution ratio
Note: It is necessary to first convert dilution to ounces for one gallon.

Example:
Dilution is 10 ounces
per 5 gallons. Divide 10 by 5
(10/5 = 2) Answer: two ounces
per gallon. Now divide the ounces
per gallon into 128 (128 / 2 = 64).
Answer: Use dilution is 1:64

Divide dilution ratio into 128

Example:
1. 1:85 dilution 128 / 85 = 1.5
Answer = 1.5 ounces per gal.

Multiply percentage of active disinfectant times 10,000, and divide by use-dilution rate

% active x 10,000
dilution rate

Examples:

Given active percentage if 4.5%.

1. At 1:256 (1/2 oz. per gallon)
(4.5 x 10,000) / 256 = 176
ppm active

2. At 1:128 (I oz. per gallon)
(4.5 x 10,000) / 128 = 352
ppm active

Most floor care programs are caused by improper product use. This quick reference guide will help identify problems, causes and solutions.

Problem: Finish is too sticky or tacky

Cause:Solution:
Finish is applied too thick.Apply thin coats and allow each to dry before applying the next coat.
Not enough drying time between coats.Under normal conditions finishes dry in 20-30 minutes. High humidity extends drying time.
Restorer not properly diluted or applied too frequently.Follow label instructions. Under-diluting or overuse can leave a sticky residue.
Restorer / maintainer not burnished soon enough after application.When dry, restorer/maintainer will continue to soften finish if it is not burnished.
Floor not properly rinsed before application of finish.Thoroughly rinse and neutralize floor after stripping. Use neutral cleaner in proper dilution.
Improper use of disinfectants.Measure carefully and follow label directions.
Seperation of finish.Finish may have been exposed to prolonged heat causing separation in the product. Shake or stir before using.

Problem: Finish swirls or scratches

Cause:Solution:
  
Pad is too aggressive.Use the recommended pad for a particular task whether it be burnishing or cleaning.
Pad is dirty.Clean with a wire brush or put pad in deep sink and spray off the build-up. Hang up to dry.
Floor is dirty or sandy.Use walk-off mats; dust thoroughly before burnishing.
