Compound

The presence of oxalic acid has a negative effect on acid-sensitive surfaces. Therefore, you should not use Sanox to clean marble and thin enamel. Strong disinfecting ability ensures the elimination of mold and fungal infections. When eliminating unpleasant odors, Sanox-gel suppresses the cause of odor.

It contains several components. The drug includes:

  • nonionic surfactant;
  • citric acid;
  • anionic surfactant 5-15%;
  • oxalic acid;
  • dye;
  • flavoring

The concentration of the sanitary ware is quite high, so it can be diluted with water to save money. After freezing, Sanox does not lose its properties. It is recommended to store the product at a temperature not lower than five and not higher than thirty degrees Celsius. Humidity must not be exceeded 95%. After the expiration date, the drug is disposed of as household waste.

To use, apply a little Sanox Gel to the contaminated surface and leave it there for ten minutes. For Sanox Ultra, three to five minutes is enough. If the contamination is old, you can leave the product for a longer period. Using a soft brush or sponge, remove complex contaminants if necessary, and rinse the surface generously with water.

Removing rust from a toilet leak is not an easy task. Thanks to oxalic acid, the drug copes well with the problem. The thick gel on the surface does not spread and acts for a long time. The product is applied for five to ten minutes. During this time, the strip becomes noticeably lighter. Using a brush or brush, dirt can be quickly removed. The sink is also easy to clean.
