The Benefits of Tidal Tar Zapper

Last updated:

Tidal Tar Zapper is an alkaline, industrial-strength cleaning solution under graffiti remover chemicals. This multipurpose cleaner can be utilized to remove gum, tar, and organic stains from tree sap or berries from concrete surfaces such as sidewalks, driveways, and walkways. It is also safe to use on a variety of other materials, including brick, stone, metal, and vinyl.  

Features of Graffiti Remover Chemicals

Tidal Tar Zapper possesses a number of great features, such as:  

  • Nonflammable 
  • Pleasant citrus odor 
  • Low instability 
  • Sold in three sizes 
  • Can be used to clean a wide range of hard surfaces  

Applying Tidal Tar Zapper 

How do you apply Tidal Tar Zapper? It depends on what type of stain or soil you are looking to remove. First and foremost, for minor stains, Tidal Tar Zapper can be diluted before use. However, for heavier staining, it can be used undiluted. 

For gum, apply Tidal Tar Zapper to the gum and let sit for 5 minutes. Then, scrape the gum off of the surface with a putty knife, or rinse it off with a power washer. Repeat if needed. For tar, spray Tidal Tar Zapper onto the tar and let sit for 15-30 minutes. Reapply the solution if it begins to dry within this time frame. Then, rinse off with a power washer. Repeat if needed. Finally, for organic stains (such as tree sap, berries, or oil stains), spray Tidal Tar Zapper onto the stain and let sit for a short period of time. Scrub the stain with a scrub brush, and then rinse with a power washer.  

To reiterate, after applying Tidal Tar Zapper to a surface, always rinse the surface well. Additionally, it should not be used on rubber, asphalt, fabric, or delicate paint. Refer to Tidal Tar Zapper’s Safety Data Sheet for detailed safety information.
