It is recommended that the stripped surface be tested after
rinsing to ensure that high pH residues do not remain.
Some high pH strippers will leave a residue behind even
after several rinses. A high pH can affect the floor finish
curing time as well as other properties of the finish. To test
for high pH residue, test either the rinse water or the floor
