So Fido couldn\u2019t hold back his excitement when you came home from work, and now you\u2019re stuck with a mark<\/strong> that won\u2019t go away however much you wash it?<\/p>\n

Someone spilled some fruit juice at your son\u2019s birthday party and now your floor looks like a Jackson Pollock painting?<\/p>\n

The appearance of \u201cpale blotches<\/strong>\u201d on a porcelain or ceramic floor<\/strong> can have a wide variety of causes. They seem like hopeless stains, and all too often are treated with unsuitable or ineffective products… the pale patch stubbornly remains, giving you all the misery of an irreparably ruined floor.<\/p>\n

But restoring the floor\u2019s original beauty and regaining the satisfaction you had when you first chose it in the showroom is easier than you think.<\/p>\n

Pale stains or patches<\/strong> are often caused by the reaction of acidic substances (such as urine, fruit juices, wine, vomit…) that are able, ironically, to dissolve residues of dirt lying on the surface. That\u2019s why they\u2019re called \u201cclean stains<\/strong>\u201d. They mainly occur for one of two reasons: failure to wash the floor immediately after laying, or the daily build-up of residues due to incorrect washing.<\/p>\n

Stains due to failure to wash immediately after laying<\/h5>\n

Once the floor has been laid and work on the site has finished it\u2019s important to wash floors correctly with a buffered acid detergent such as DETERDEK<\/a><\/strong>, which ensures maximum effectiveness while being extra gentle on the surface itself. Failure to do this creates a strong likelihood that building work residues – very often invisible to the eye – may be left on the floor, enabling everyday dirt to take hold more easily.<\/p>\n

Stains due to the use of detergents with a brightening or shining effect<\/h5>\n

Other causes of dirt build-up are hard water residues or incorrect washing: over time, the shining additives and scents contained in common detergents create layers that dull the surfaces being washed. These can be eliminated periodically using an alkaline grease-removing detergent such as FILAPS87<\/strong><\/a>, which contains no caustic soda and is therefore very gentle on surfaces. FILAPS87 is also ideal for deep cleaning of outdoor paving in porcelain stoneware, ceramic, natural stone, terracotta, clinker and concrete.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So which product should I use for everyday cleaning?<\/h5>\n

For the best possible maintenance of a stoneware or ceramic floor it’s good practice to use a pH-neutral detergent that contains no shining additives or scents – just like FILACLEANER<\/strong><\/a>, which leaves no waxy or silicon residues. 3 capfuls (25 ml) of the product dissolved in 5 litres of water are enough to keep the whole floor clean, with no need to rinse.<\/p>\n
