FAQs
Can I use this on wood floors?
No, this product is specifically formulated for mineral surfaces like stone, tile, and concrete and should not be used on wood, laminate, or vinyl.
Does this cleaner damage grout?
When used according to the dilution instructions, it is generally safe for grout. However, always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
Do I need to wear gloves?
Yes, it is recommended to wear protective gloves and eye protection while handling this concentrated cleaning agent.
Can I leave the solution on for an hour?
It is not recommended to leave the solution on the surface for extended periods if it starts to dry out. Keep the area wet during the process.
Is this safe for polished marble?
Use extreme caution. Highly acidic or aggressive cleaners can dull the polish of marble; always perform a patch test first and dilute heavily if necessary.
What is the shelf life of the product?
When stored in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed, the product maintains its effectiveness for a long period, though usage within 2 years of opening is recommended.
Troubleshooting
Stubborn residue remains after cleaning
Increase the concentration of the mixture (up to 1:1) and allow a longer dwell time before scrubbing.
Streaking on the surface after drying
This is usually caused by insufficient rinsing. Clean the area again with fresh water to remove the leftover cleaning film.
Surface feels slippery after cleaning
Rinse the floor multiple times with clean water and a clean mop to ensure all cleaning agents are completely removed.
