Descaling cleaning for stones containing containing iron ore

Descaling cleaning of granite and porphyry

Keeping natural stone surfaces free of hard incrustations and stains is essential to preserve their beauty. Beyond that, it also to ensure their longevity. For this reason, our descaling cleaning system for porphyry and granite is the ideal solution for floors and walls made of granite, quartzite, Luserna stone, porphyry and all stones containing ferrous minerals.

Thanks to its advanced and highly effective formulation, this system is able to remove the most stubborn encrustations without compromising the integrity of the surface. In particular, natural stones with ferrous components may be more prone to yellowing and colour changes due to reactions with moisture and chemicals. Our cleaning system is capable of preventing these undesirable effects, thus guaranteeing the effective removal of limescale stains, rust stains and cement residues without altering the original colour of the stone.

Moreover, this descaling cleaner designed for stones enables impeccable results in a short time, restoring the surface to its natural appearance and protecting it from future contamination. In addition, to ensure optimal cleaning, it is important to carefully follow the directions for use and to adopt appropriate periodic maintenance. By doing so, you will preserve the quality of the stone over time, avoiding damage and keeping the room looking nice and elegant. Finally, rely on our experience and professional products to take care of your stone surfaces effectively and safely.

Where and when

Where:

On stones such as granite, porphyry, Luserna stone, beola, serizi, crystalline schist, quartzite and stones that tend to yellow because they contain ferrous material.
Do not use on natural stone, cement agglomerates and materials not resistant to acids.

When:

For an essential cleaning process of floor and wall coverings made of granite, porphyry and other stones containing ferrous minerals. Stones containing ferrous material, when washed with unsuitable acids such as hydrochloric acid, activate the iron contained within. This process causes the surfaces of this type of stone to yellow.
This specific type of cleaning is ideal for removing:
- - efflorescence and limescale incrustation;
  - cement residues from laying;
  - lime paint residues;
  - plastering residues;
  - surface rust deposits;
  - lime deposits and incrustations due to irrigation or weathering.

Frequency of use:

For a one time cleaning after installation;
For cleaning after site work, painting or building work;
For annual descaling cleaning in outdoor areas;
For spot cleaning of ferrous contamination.
