During renovation work, it’s easy to end up with cement residues on floors which, if left to dry, can damage the surfaces and make cleaning difficult. To remove them, you can act manually using plastic scrapers, brushes, and damp cloths, or rely on specific products depending on the type of flooring.
For terracotta, VIACEM is ideal—it’s a buffered acid that removes encrustations without damaging the surface.
For natural stone, DELICACID is gentle yet effective, even on the most stubborn stains.
For porcelain stoneware, POWER DET provides deep cleaning without leaving streaks.
Alternatively, you can try natural methods like vinegar, baking soda, and lemon—though these are only suitable for light stains.
It’s important to avoid metal tools, overly aggressive detergents, or excessive scrubbing to prevent damaging the material.
Once cleaned, the floor should be protected with specific treatments and maintained with regular cleaning.
With the right precautions and Marbec products, removing cement becomes simple and effective.

The restoration of a flood-damaged Tuscan terracotta floor is a complex process that requires specific techniques and products. Impresa Pippolo di Timpano Giuseppe, specialised in the treatment of surfaces made of stone materials, carried out a targeted restoration operation, divided into two main phases: de-waxing and protective treatment.

The first phase involved removing old layers of wax and dirt residues with SGRISER, a powerful alkaline-solvent wax remover. Next, VIACEM, a buffered acid detergent, was used to remove cement slurries and salt efflorescence.
After thorough cleaning, EXCEL PLUS was applied, an anti-stain protective agent that penetrates deep into the terracotta without altering its breathability. To complete the treatment, a finish was applied with IDROFIN MATT, a matt wax that protects the surface and facilitates maintenance.

Thanks to the use of professional products and the experience of Impresa Pippolo di Timpano Giuseppe, the floor has regained its original beauty, becoming more resistant to wear and weathering. This type of treatment not only restores the aesthetics of the terracotta but also ensures its durability, reducing the need for future maintenance.

The article describes the intervention by artisan Davide Incredibile, who performed a cleaning and treatment on a Spanish terracotta floor in a prestigious apartment in Piazza Navona. Thanks to Marbec products and the artisan’s skill, the floor has gained a timeless beauty and elegance. The treatment included the use of IDROWIP for pre-installation protection, VIACEM for descaling cleaning, ANTISTAIN for stain protection, PALLADIUM for a uniform finish, and IDROFIN MATT for a satin appearance. This intervention perfectly exemplifies how the combination of professionalism and high-quality products can enhance the historic spaces of Rome.
