FAQs

Can this cleaner be used on marble or granite?

While primarily formulated for terracotta and general natural stone, it is always best to test Liberon Stone Floor Cleaner on a small, hidden area first. Some sensitive natural stones like polished marble may react differently. Always follow manufacturer recommendations for specific stone types.

How do I dilute the cleaner for regular cleaning?

For general cleaning of dirt and grease, you can dilute the cleaner with water. A common ratio is 1 part cleaner to 10 parts water, but this can be adjusted based on the level of soiling. Always start with a more diluted solution and increase if necessary.

What is the drying time for the floor after cleaning?

The minimum drying time for the floor is 1 hour. However, this can vary depending on humidity, temperature, and the amount of liquid used. Ensure the area is well-ventilated to speed up drying.

Is this product safe to use around pets?

The cleaner is water-based. Once the floor is dry, it is generally safe. However, keep pets away from the wet floor until it has completely dried to prevent contact with the cleaning solution.

How often should I use this stone floor cleaner?

The frequency depends on the traffic and soiling of your floor. For heavily used areas, you might use it monthly or bi-monthly. For less used areas, quarterly or even less frequent deep cleans might suffice. Regular light cleaning with a mild solution is recommended between deep cleans.

Does this cleaner remove floor polish?

Yes, Liberon Stone Floor Cleaner is specifically designed to remove built-up layers of dirt, grease, and old Liberon Stone Floor Shine or other polishes from natural stone and terracotta flooring.

Troubleshooting

Cleaner not removing stubborn stains effectively.

Ensure you are using the cleaner neat (undiluted) for stubborn stains. Allow it to sit on the stain for a recommended period (e.g., 10-15 minutes) before scrubbing and wiping clean. For very old or deep-set stains, a second application may be necessary.

Streaks or residue left on the floor after cleaning.

This can occur if the cleaner is not fully rinsed off. After cleaning and scrubbing, ensure you wipe the floor thoroughly with a clean, damp cloth or mop, rinsing the cloth/mop frequently in clean water. Allow the floor to dry completely.

Floor appears dull after cleaning.

This might happen if an excessive amount of product was used or not rinsed properly. Try cleaning the area again with diluted cleaner and ensure thorough rinsing. Check if the stone was sealed prior to cleaning; some unsealed stones may require sealing after cleaning for protection.

Product has an unusual smell.

The product has a water-based formula. Ensure the container is properly sealed when stored. If the smell persists or is indicative of spoilage, contact the manufacturer. Ensure good ventilation during application.
