ACID BASED CLEANER SURE KLEAN VANA TROL SENSITIVE BRICK & STONE CLEANER- 1 GALLON JUG

Prosoco Sure Klean Vana Trol — Acidic Masonry Cleaner for Vanadium & Manganese Stain Control
Prosoco Sure Klean Vana Trol is a concentrated acidic cleaner formulated specifically for new masonry surfaces prone to vanadium, manganese, and other metallic staining. Designed for contractors working with color-sensitive brick, tile, concrete block, and unpolished natural or cast stone, Vana Trol simplifies the cleaning process while actively reducing the potential for efflorescence on new construction. Its slow-drying formula clings to masonry surfaces to soften excess mortar and job dirt, ensuring thorough penetration before rinsing. This product is ideal for masonry contractors, general contractors, and trades professionals who need reliable, rinse-clean results on new brick and tile installations.

Unlike standard masonry cleaners, Vana Trol is specifically engineered to address the dual challenge of green vanadium and brown manganese staining — two of the most common and difficult metallic stains found on new brick and tile. It is supplied in concentrate form for easy on-site dilution, and its slow-drying chemistry ensures it rinses clean without streaking, making it a preferred choice over general-purpose acid cleaners when working with colored mortar or color-sensitive substrates.

Key Features & Benefits
Vanadium & Manganese Stain Control
Vana Trol is formulated to neutralize and remove both green vanadium and brown manganese staining that commonly appear on new brick and tile installations. These metallic stains are notoriously difficult to address with standard cleaners, and Vana Trol's targeted chemistry handles both in a single product. This saves contractors time and reduces the need for multiple specialty cleaners on the job site.

Efflorescence Removal on New Construction
The product effectively removes efflorescence on new brick, concrete block, and stone construction, addressing one of the most common aesthetic problems in new masonry work. Early application — ideally within 14 to 28 days of installation — yields the best results, and the formula is designed to flush dissolved salts and soiling from surface pores during rinsing.

Slow-Drying, Streak-Free Rinse
Vana Trol's slow-drying formula clings to the masonry surface long enough to fully break down mortar residue and job dirt before being flushed away. This slow-drying characteristic is critical to achieving a clean, streak-free finish, particularly on light-colored or color-sensitive brick. Contractors can expect consistent visual results without the blotchy or streaked appearance common with fast-drying acid cleaners.

Safe for Color-Sensitive Substrates & Colored Mortar
Vana Trol is specifically designed for use with colored mortar, reducing the risk of color loss or discoloration that can occur with more aggressive cleaners. It is also safe for use on most unpolished natural stone and cast stone, expanding its applicability across a wide range of new masonry projects without requiring multiple products.

Concentrated Formula for On-Site Dilution
Supplied as a concentrate, Vana Trol allows contractors to dilute on site to the appropriate ratio for the substrate and level of soiling, improving job-site efficiency and reducing shipping weight and storage footprint. At a coverage rate of 500+ sq ft per gallon, a single gallon goes a long way on typical new masonry projects.

Broad Regulatory Compliance
Sure Klean Vana Trol is compliant with all national, state, and district AIM VOC regulations, making it suitable for use in markets with strict environmental standards. The product is manufactured and packaged in Lawrence, Kansas, and has been verified for compliance with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABAA) requirements under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).

Common Applications
New Brick Construction Cleaning
Removes mortar residue, job dirt, and metallic staining from new brick facades and walls. Best results are achieved when cleaning is completed within 14 to 28 days of installation.

Concrete Block Efflorescence Removal
Effectively removes efflorescence salt deposits from new concrete block construction, restoring a clean surface appearance after initial cure and exposure to moisture.

Color-Sensitive Brick & Tile Maintenance
Specifically formulated for use on color-sensitive brick and tile where vanadium (green) and manganese (brown) staining are present without risk of color damage when used as directed.

Natural Stone & Cast Stone Cleaning
Safe for use on most unpolished natural stone or cast stone surfaces, making it suitable for mixed-material masonry installations that combine brick with stone elements.

Colored Mortar Joint Cleaning
Designed to be used alongside colored mortar without causing color loss or joint discoloration, an important requirement on architectural masonry projects where joint aesthetics are specified.

New Masonry Construction Cleanup
Clears construction soiling, mortar smears, and grout residue from new masonry surfaces on commercial and residential projects, particularly when high-strength mortar or grout has been used within seven days.
