Description

A low alkaline floor cleaner that lifts grime without dulling the finish

Commercial floors take a beating from traffic dirt, food and drink spills and cooking oils, and the wrong detergent can leave polished and sealed floors looking flat over time. Agar Novadet is a low alkaline floor cleaner concentrate built for that job, cleaning waxed and polished floors, terrazzo, marble, slate, glass and walls without stripping the finish.

Being low alkaline is the point. The detergent lifts dirt, grease and general traffic grime, then holds the soil in suspension so it does not redeposit and smear back as the floor dries. Sensitive floor finishes are left unharmed, and for everyday mopping there is no need to rinse it off. A rose fragrance with deodorant action leaves the area smelling fresh once the floor is clean.

Key benefits:

Protects polished and sealed finishes: The low alkaline formula lifts grime without the dulling that harsh high alkaline detergents can cause on waxed floors, terrazzo, marble and slate.

No smearing, no rinse for daily cleaning: Loosened dirt is held in suspension so it does not redeposit as the floor dries, and everyday mopping needs no rinse step.

One concentrate stretches across the site: Diluting from 1 part to 100 parts water for light cleaning means a single 5Lt bottle covers weeks of daily mopping.

Works by mop or machine: The same dilution handles mop buckets and autoscrubbers, so one product covers manual and machine floor cleaning across the site.

Leaves a clean rose scent: Deodorant action and a rose fragrance leave the area smelling fresh after cleaning, without a heavy chemical smell.

Where Novadet can be used:

  • Waxed and polished floors
  • Sealed hard floors
  • Terrazzo, marble and slate
  • Glass and walls
  • Other hard surfaces that need a low alkaline cleaner

Usage Guidelines

Sweep or dust mop first, then dilute Novadet to suit the job and apply by mop, sponge or autoscrubber.

Daily and light cleaning: Mix 1 part Novadet to 100 parts water, about half a cup per bucket, half a litre per tank for small scrubbers or 1L for large. Mop or scrub as usual. No rinse is needed for general cleaning.

Heavier soil and traffic grime: Mix 1 part Novadet to 50 parts water, about three quarters of a cup per bucket, 1L per tank for small scrubbers or 2L for large. Mop or scrub as usual.

Scrubbing polished floors back before a fresh coat: Mix 1 part Novadet to 20 parts water and scrub with blue pads. Pick up the solution and rinse with hot water so nothing is left under the new finish.

Do not mix: Do not mix Novadet with other chemicals unless the label or SDS says it can be done.

FAQ

Q. Why does my floor feel sticky or streaky after mopping?

A. Almost always it is too much detergent, not too little. Mix Novadet to the stated ratio, around half a cup per bucket for daily cleaning, and the loosened dirt stays suspended instead of drying back as a film. Using too much of any floor cleaner leaves the tacky residue that grabs dust.

Q. Can I use vinegar or dish soap on polished floors instead?

A. On polished and stone floors it is better to skip both. Vinegar is acidic and slowly etches and dulls marble, terrazzo and slate, while dish soap foams and dries to a film. Novadet is a low alkaline detergent made for these surfaces, lifting dirt without the etching or residue.

Q. Do I need to rinse the floor after using Novadet?

A. Not for everyday mopping. Novadet holds the loosened soil in suspension so it does not redeposit, and general cleaning needs no rinse. When you scrub polished floors back before a fresh coat, pick up the solution and rinse with hot water so nothing is left under the new finish.

Q. How much Novadet goes in a mop bucket?

A. About half a cup to a bucket for daily cleaning, which is 1 part Novadet to 100 parts water. Step up to roughly three quarters of a cup, or 1 to 50, for heavier soil and traffic grime. In scrubbers, use 1L per tank for small machines and 2L for large.

Q. Will Novadet dull or strip my polished or sealed floors?

A. No. Novadet is low alkaline, so it cleans without the dulling and finish damage that harsh high alkaline detergents can cause on waxed floors, terrazzo, marble and slate. That makes it a fit for regular maintenance cleaning of sealed and polished floors.

Q. Does the rose scent actually clean, or just cover smells?

A. It cleans first. Novadet is a detergent with deodorant action that lifts and suspends the dirt and spills causing most floor odour, then leaves a rose fragrance once the floor is clean. That is dealing with the source of the smell rather than hiding it.
