Super-Concentrated Non-Acid Multi-Use Cleaner for Pavers & Concrete

Bring tired, grimy, soiled hardscape back to life with SEK Surebond SureClean — a powerful, super-concentrated non-acid multi-use cleaner engineered to dislodge deep-set dirt, grime, tire scuffing, and environmental soiling from pavers, concrete, and masonry without damaging the surface. This 1-gallon container of concentrate makes up to 36 gallons of ready-to-use cleaner at the standard dilution rate — enough to clean roughly 6,500 square feet of surface. That's unbeatable value for contractors, property managers, and homeowners tackling big hardscape cleaning jobs.

Whether you're prepping a paver driveway for sealing, restoring a weathered patio, or scrubbing down commercial walkways, SureClean cuts through years of buildup and leaves the surface clean, bright, and ready for whatever comes next — including a fresh coat of sealer.

Why Pros Choose SEK Surebond SureClean

Harsh muriatic acid cleaners etch colored pavers, damage joint sand, and create environmental headaches. Weak retail cleaners don't penetrate paver pores or lift embedded grime. SureClean solves both problems with a biodegradable, phosphate-free alkaline formula that's powerful enough for heavy contractor use yet safe enough for sealed surfaces when properly diluted. Its Clean Rinse Technology means no sticky film, no streaks, and no re-work — just clean pavers ready for the next step.

Dilution & Coverage Chart

SureClean is highly concentrated and must be diluted with water before use. Use the weakest effective dilution for your job — under-diluting (too strong) may damage the substrate.

Dilution Ratio (Water : SureClean)	Strength / Application	SureClean per Gallon RTU
20:1	Maximum / Difficult Cleaning	6 oz. per ready-to-use gallon
35:1	Standard / Moderate Cleaning	~3.5 oz. per ready-to-use gallon
100:1	Minimum / Light Cleaning & Sealed Surfaces	~1.3 oz. per ready-to-use gallon

Coverage per gallon of diluted (ready-to-use) cleaner: 100–250 sq. ft.
Total coverage per 1 gallon of concentrate: up to 6,500 sq. ft. at standard dilution

Tip: Always start with the weakest effective dilution. Stronger concentrations may be needed for heavier, deep-set stains.

Quick Application Overview

1. Sweep or blow off all loose soil, debris, and leaves from the surface.
2. Protect adjacent surfaces, landscaping, plants, and metal fixtures.
3. For targeted stains, spot-clean first with Surebond Specialty Cleaners (S.R.B. for organic stains, Oil Extractor for oil/grease).
4. Test first in a small, inconspicuous area to confirm suitability, correct dilution, and dwell time.
5. Dilute SureClean per the chart above in a clean 1 or 5-gallon container.
6. Spray the diluted solution evenly on the surface, keeping it wet.
7. Let the cleaner dwell 5–10 minutes (do not let it dry on the surface).
8. Agitate with a stiff-bristle brush, broom, or flat surface cleaner attached to a pressure washer to break down stains.
9. Rinse thoroughly with a pressure washer or garden hose while the cleaner is still wet. Hot water works best.
10. Let the surface dry fully — typically 24–48 hours — before sealing.

Important Notes

• Outdoor use only in properly ventilated conditions
• Best results when air and surface temperatures are 40°F or above
• Do not clean when temperatures are below freezing or will drop below freezing overnight
• If air temperature exceeds 90°F, flash-cool the surface with water before applying — do not allow product to dry on a hot surface
• Use caution on sensitive surfaces such as wet-cast pavers and stamped concrete — may affect surface color (test first)
• Excessive pressure-washer pressure can damage substrate — use only what's needed
• Store in a cool, well-ventilated place. Do not allow product to freeze
• Wear appropriate PPE — gloves, eye protection, and skin protection

Frequently Asked Questions

How much area does 1 gallon of SureClean cover?
At the standard dilution rate, 1 gallon of SureClean concentrate produces 36 gallons of ready-to-use cleaner and covers approximately 6,500 sq. ft. of surface. Each ready-to-use gallon covers 100–250 sq. ft.

Do I have to dilute SureClean?
Yes — SureClean is a super-concentrate and must be diluted with water before use. See the dilution chart above for the correct ratio for your cleaning job.

Is SureClean safe for sealed pavers?
Yes, when properly diluted. Use the 100:1 dilution for previously sealed surfaces and always test a small area first. SureClean is compatible with all Surebond sealers when used correctly.

Is this a good pre-seal cleaner?
Absolutely — SureClean is specifically designed to prepare hardscape surfaces for sealing by removing dirt, grime, and contaminants that would otherwise prevent proper sealer adhesion. Pair it with spot cleaners (S.R.B. for organic stains, Oil Extractor for grease) for best results.

Can I use this on stamped or colored concrete?
Use caution — SureClean may affect the color of sensitive surfaces like wet-cast pavers and stamped concrete. Always test in an inconspicuous area first and use the weakest effective dilution.

Is it safer than muriatic acid?
Yes — SureClean is a non-acid, biodegradable, phosphate-free alternative that replaces many harsh acid-based cleaners without etching or discoloring pavers.

Do I need a pressure washer?
A pressure washer speeds up cleaning and rinsing significantly, but a garden hose with a nozzle works for smaller areas. Hot water pressure washers break down stains fastest. Avoid excessive pressure that could damage the substrate or disturb joint sand.

How long after cleaning can I seal?
Allow pavers to dry completely — typically 24–48 hours depending on weather — before applying paver sealer.
