Does Soda Stain? How to Clean Sugar Stains from Concrete

Soda and sugar stains can cause many problems on concrete. Not only does it leave behind an unpleasant, sticky stain, but it can also continue to attract dirt and grime for quite a while. The cleanliness of your store matters and if customers notice soda stains around the outside of your business, they’ll likely assume the inside is just as dirty. This can leave a negative impression on customers, and they may not want to come back. To get rid of soda stains and make a good impression on customers, try OTIS Multi-Surface Cleaner.

What You Need:

  • Two (2) empty (32 oz.) spray bottles - label one "OTIS" and the other "WATER"
  • OTIS Multi-Surface Cleaner
  • Access to Water
  • Optional: scrub brush

Cleaning Instructions:

1. Create Your Cleaning Mixture

-Combine 3 scoops (tsp) OTIS and 32 oz. of water into OTIS spray bottle. Mix thoroughly.

-Fill WATER bottle with 32 oz. of water.

-Gather both spray bottles and continue the cleaning process.

2. Using the jet stream setting on the "OTIS" spray bottle, apply OTIS liberally to the sugar stains.

3. Rinse off the stain area using the "WATER" bottle. You can rinse and let it dry, or you can absorb it with absorbent pads.
