PORCELAIN
PURGING, CLEANING, SEALING AND MAINTENANCE OF PORCELAIN
After tiles have been laid allow suficient 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.
PURGING OF PORCELAIN
A: Manual purging
Apply a dilution of SPECKLEEN® ACON™ diluted between 1:5 and 1:10 depending on the degree of cementitious residue by mop to the affected area. Glazed porcelain is usually treated with a 1:20 to 1:30 solution.
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 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 purging
Add a dilution of SPECKLEEN® ACON™ diluted as above depending on the degree of cementitious residue to the dispertion 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.
Profiled Porcelain
Follow the above system except where the tile has an uneven surface profile. In this case it may be necessary to repeat the exercise.
