FAQ

Which Green Star dilution should I use?

The manufacturer lists 1 part Green Star to 5–30 parts water for exteriors and engines, 1:10–1:20 for interiors and textiles, and 1:40–1:120 for workshop and industrial floors. Select within the applicable range for the task and soil level.

What does the VDA Class A note mean?

It limits maximum strength to 1:3 and dwell time to five minutes on sensitive automotive finishes. Always rinse before the dwell limit.

Is Green Star safe on floor sealants?

The manufacturer supports workshop and industrial floor cleaning at 1:40–1:120 but does not guarantee compatibility with every coating or sealant. Test suitability and compatibility before use and do not let the product dry.
