HOW TO USE

Dilute as directed and apply with a clean cloth or scrubbing pad. Thoroughly clean the surface to remove dirt, grease, oils, and residue.

Allow approximately 10 minutes to dry. Because TSP Alternative is a no-rinse formula, once your surface is clean and dry, you’re ready to move on to painting or finishing.

Reapply immediately or as needed for particularly dirty or greasy surfaces.

GOOD TO KNOW

TSP Alternative is designed for cleaning surfaces before painting or finishing and is generally not necessary on clean, raw wood.

One container goes a long way and can be used to prep many furniture pieces and projects.

Even when a surface looks clean, invisible oils and residue can interfere with adhesion. Taking a few minutes to clean properly can make a big difference in the durability and appearance of your finished project.

Clean it well. Paint It Beautiful™.

DIRECTIONS

HOW TO USE IT

Our no rinse Fusion™ TSP Alternative is a water-based degreaser used to thoroughly clean a painted surface prior to applying paint. Highly efficient, it removes oil, grease, fingerprints, stains and other contaminants, which will improve the adhesion and the look of subsequent coatings.

Mix 2 capfuls into 1L of water. Wash surface with mixture to remove dirt and grease. Keep washing the surface until your rag is no longer removing visible dirt or grease.

Rinsing is not required, however be sure to thoroughly clean your surface and change to a fresh clean rag as needed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What makes this TSP Alternative different from others?

Our TSP Alternative is phosphate-free and organic. It is super concentrated so a little goes a long way, and it doesn’t need to be rinsed!

Why does the bottle seem so small?

The bottle seems small, but to use this TSP Alternative, all you need is two capfuls to a litre of water. The extra concentrated formula cuts down on waste, because the same bottle will last you a very long time!

Why is it important that this TSP Alternative is phosphate-free?

When using a regular TSP, the phosphates need to be rinsed away really well because they can resist the paint. Phosphate is also a common nutrient in fertilizer, and when it is rinsed into your water system and into the environment, it can cause algal blooms, which can upset an ecosystem.

When should I use TSP Alternative?

We use our TSP Alternative during our first stage of furniture painting: the cleaning. It is a great cleaner and degreaser, and wipes away dirt and grime very easily to ensure for the proper adhesion of Fusion Mineral Paint and other coatings.
