Protect metal surfaces and plumbing fixtures from effects of cleaning. Flush surfaces with clean water before and after cleaning. 3. If applicable, remove temporary protective coating by method recommended by coating manufacturer. Trap and remove coating to prevent it from clogging drains. B. When recommended by tile manufacturer, apply coat of neutral protective cleaner to completed tile walls and floors.
