Bird Brand Sugar Soap is a concentrated liquid that cleans and prepares all surfaces prior to repainting.  Sugar Soap removes grease, grime and nicotine stains from painted surfaces and improves paint adhesion.  It is also an excellent general household cleaner. Preparation and Cleaning of surfaces for repainting Add approx. 1/3 of the 500ml bottle to 4.5 litres of clean water.  Use hot water for faster cleaning.  Apply generously using a sponge or absorbent cloth working from the bottom up to avoid run marks.  Rinse with fresh water and allow to dry completely.
