Properties: Effortlessly removes surface residues such as mortar and cement, efflorescences, encrusted and ingrained dirt, rust, and calcium and limescale deposits. Surfaces: Suitable for all acid-resistant surfaces like ceramic tiles, brick, clay and quarry tiles, terracotta, concrete, and many natural stones. Please Note: Not suitable for polished and finely honed limestone and marble, as well as engineered stone. Iron-containing natural stones such as serizzo can develop yellow discoloration (rust) and should therefore rather be treated with Lithofin MN Builder's Clean to avoid this effect.

This guide is for anyone using Lithofin Cement Veil Remover to clean ceramic tiles, brick, and stone surfaces. The primary benefit is the effortless removal of cement residue, efflorescence, and other stubborn deposits. A key caveat: It's crucial to test the product on an inconspicuous area first, especially on natural stones, to ensure compatibility.
