If grout has been left on the face of the tile for too long, it will create a “film” or “haze” on the tile which goes away when water is applied and will re appear once it dries. This is more than likely a cement “film”/”haze”. The way to combat this and get rid of it once and for all is to use Lithofin Cement Residue Remover. (Please note not suitable for some natural stones).
General day to day cleaning of tiles is essential when it comes to keeping them looking clean and new. Daily stains, muck and general dirt can affect the aesthetic of the face of the tile if left long enough, which is why it’s essential to conduct maintenance cleans. Lithofin Easy Care is the product for the job.
Lithofin Easy Care can be added to floor cleaning machines if necessary. Easy Care is only a maintenance cleaner and will not remove any deep stains. For tougher stains, we recommend either Lithofin Wexa / Lithofin MN Power Clean depending on the tile type.
Sometimes tiles get marked or stained with a lot of different types of dirt or other substances. Removing them can be tricky, but Lithofin have a select range of products available to aid in cleaning and removing stains. Two of the most common and most effective products a Lithofin Wexa and Lithofin Power Clean.
Note: Wexa can be used on most natural stones excluding Sandstone. MN Power Clean can be used for all natural and artificial stone including porcelain. Avoid splashing on sensitive areas such as wood / metal / painted surfaces when using both products.
If the stain still remains when using Power Clean, you can cut the ratio to 1:5. However, do not do this for WEXA - instead just repeat the process with 1:10 solution.
Sometimes tiles arrive from the factory unsealed and are porous - mainly natural stone but some porcelain can also be affected by this. Lithofin have a wide range of sealers available and they are all applied in the same way as each other.
Lithofin’s various sealers are specifically made for different stone types:
