Now, thanks to ingenuity and science, there is a better way.
American-Rekrete, the un-paralleled way to get and keep concrete clean and looking new.

OVERVIEW

     For many years environmentalists, humanitarians, government agencies, politicians, educators, and others have expressed the concern for protecting the environment, our natural resources, and preserving the American Dream for all. To that end, American-Rekrete recognized the need to keep concrete looking its best at all times and also recognized the negative impact that literally millions of petroleum fueled vehicles have on concrete. Looking around us, we are surrounded by thousands of parking lots, driveways, and "drive-thru" businesses clearly demonstrating that there is a need to remove petroleum based spills and stains from concrete. Not only to preserve the appearance and value of the physical property, but equally important is the need to protect the environment and its natural resources for future generations.

       It is well known that as little as one quart of oil can contaminate 100,000 gallons of drinking water. Each time it rains, hydrocarbon petroleum material is being washed off of concrete surfaces as "run-off", finding it's way into the natural environment. Our company believes that everyone should be concerned that oil, grease, gasoline and other hydrocarbon petroleum based chemicals are harmful to the environment and need to be effectively removed.
For decades, well intentioned manufacturers of commercial liquid cleaning chemicals, solvents, and degreasers have been manufacturing products designed to emulsify and solubilize oil, grease, gasoline. Adding very large quantities of "rinsing water" and power equipment provided a solution for cleaning concrete. Unfortunately, this process creates contaminated toxic waste-water that, uncontrolled, finds its way into soil, storm drains, sewer systems, underground watersheds, and into much larger bodies of water where organic life is being negatively impacted.
Following the Clean Water Act, Environmental regulations have been enacted locally and regionally establishing severe penalties for willful violators and occasionally, unaware property owners, that are responsible for exterior property maintenance cleaning, and failure to dispose of contaminated waste water properly.

THE SOLUTION
     The idea of a better way to clean concrete, with less water, and be environmentally friendly, was initiated by environmentally conscious power wash contractor Lenny Carlo, of Colorado Springs, Colorado. The question was easy, "How do we do this better?" The answer, though, took seven years in research development and field testing. It was clear to environmentalists and scientists that what was needed was an effective waterless concrete cleaning agent created with the help of nature's own bio-chemistry to solve this complex problem. The invention of Waterless Concrete Cleaning Technology created a new field of research and lead the way to the development and introduction of a revolutionary product called, "ReKrete." Now a full ten years after inception, ReKrete has been tested by the best and is exactly what the power wash and oil stain cleaning world needs. ReKrete is still always under review to make sure that it meets the highest standards we have set.

WHAT IS REKRETE?
     ReKrete in general language, is a finely granulized waterless compound integrated with active cleaning agents and chemically engineered bio-organics designed to successfully breakdown hydrocarbon petroleum matter with no deleterious effects to plants, humans, animals, or soil from concrete without the use of water as a carrier, catalyst, or neutralizing agent. Elimination of water and waste-water contamination is successfully achieved. The specific gravity of ReKrete effectively compliments an exacting microsizing for maximum delivery deep into the pores of concrete. Because Rekrete uses bio-organics it is accepted scientifically as a "time driven" process whereby significant improvement will be clearly visible within twenty-four hours. In addition to effective cleaning, ReKrete offers demonstrable time saving during application but most importantly eliminates the need for any water before, during, or after the cleaning process. And lastly, Rekrete eliminates the need for power scrubbing, power washing, or water reclamation equipment.
 
     ReKrete is non-hazardous, non-corrosive, and non-toxic, to humans, animals, plants, soil, metals, paint, concrete, storm drains, sewer systems, or underground water. ReKrete can be immediately "walked on" or "driven on" by vehicles and is extremely economical in material cost.
