Water Hardness Suitability
AGAR Presto is designed to perform effectively in both soft and hard water conditions typical of Australian regions. Its built-in water-softening agents ensure consistent degreasing power even in areas with high mineral content.
Use one part AGAR Presto to forty parts water for heavy grease buildup on floors. For regular cleaning, a lighter dilution of one part to eighty parts water is sufficient.
Presto should not be used on aluminium unless heavily diluted at a ratio greater than one part to one hundred parts water, as the strong alkalinity may dull or corrode the surface.
Yes. Its formula includes components that help maintain cleaning power even in regions with moderate to hard water levels found across Australia.
