The 1-litre size is practical for cleaning household and smaller-area coverings, where the goal is the occasional thorough cleaning of stoneware or stone surfaces. The Cleaneco porcelain stoneware cleaner concentrate is made specifically for cleaning porcelain stoneware (gres) tiles, untreated limestone and polished stone slabs. Its special formula effectively dissolves soiling that has seeped into porous stone coverings.
What it is for
It is suitable for cleaning outdoor and indoor coverings, for both manual and machine use. It does not foam in scrubbing machines, allowing undisturbed machine cleaning. It even draws out deep-seated dirt from porous, hard-to-clean stone surfaces, which standard cleaners often leave behind.
Use and dosing
For heavily soiled surfaces, add 2–3 dl of agent to 10 litres of water. For daily routine cleaning and machine use, a 0.5–1% dose is usually sufficient. The agent is strongly alkaline, so appropriate protective equipment must always be worn during use.
Composition
Contains: potassium hydroxide, sodium metasilicate pentahydrate, hexyl D-glucoside. Per Regulation 648/2004/EC: less than 5% anionic surfactants, less than 5% non-ionic surfactants, fragrances.
Active ingredients explained
Potassium hydroxide and sodium metasilicate are strong alkaline agents that dissolve grease and dried-on dirt. Hexyl D-glucoside is a plant-based surfactant that loosens soiling and, being non-foaming, is ideal for machine cleaning too.
