  2. Add concentrate to water and mix. If available, hot water will accelerate cleaning and etching.
  3. Sweep loose debris and dampen the surface with water.   
  4. Apply solution and scrub with a stiff brush or broom until bubbling stops. NOTE: If no bubbling occurs, surface is coated with curing compounds or contaminants preventing etching. Remove contamination and  reapply DX-ETCH.   
  5. Triple rinse with water to neutralize.
