CERAMIC
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE OF CERAMIC TILES
After tiles have been laid allow sufficient time as per the tile adhesive supplier's specifications for the grout and adhesive to cure sufficiently so that the purging system will not inflict any damage to the grout or adhesive.
Always use protective equipment for eyes, hands and feet.
A: Manual cleaning
Apply a dilution of SPECKLEEN ACON™ diluted between 1:20 and 1:30 depending on the degree of cementitious residue by mop to the affected area. Using a single disc scrubbing machine with a blue pad or natural fibre brush remove the contamination.
Rinse with clean water and remove all residues by means of a wet extraction machine.
If cleaning by hand, ensure that the cleaner has rubber or latex gloves, eye and adequate foot protection.
If skin becomes irritated, wash with copious amounts of clean water.
B: Auto scrubber cleaning
Add a dilution of SPECKLEEN ACON™ diluted between 1:20 and 1:30 depending on the degree of cementitious residue to the dispersion tank of the autoscrubbing machine.
Use with blue pads or natural fibre bristle brush attachment.
Move over the affected area slowly allowing the SPECKLEEN ACON™ to have sufficient contact time with the substrate.
Where very bad soilage is encountered, lay down a solution of SPECKLEEN® ACON™ first and then come back after giving it time to react with the floor using the above autoscrubber system.
Rinse with clean water and remove all residues by means of wet extraction machine.
Ensure that the cleaner has rubber or latex gloves and eye and foot protection.
UNGLAZED CERAMIC
Follow the above system except where the tile has an uneven surface profile.
It may be necessary to repeat the exercise and then seal with SPECKLEEN PERMOSEAL STD SB
