Tar Removal - Cotto

Professional advice and the right Lithofin products for your cotto

High

Tar, bitumen, and asphalt stains on stone and tile surfaces are among the most stubborn residues to remove. These petroleum-based substances bond strongly to porous surfaces and harden over time, becoming increasingly difficult to treat.

Step-by-step instructions

Scrape off surface tar carefully. If wax layers are present, strip first with Lithofin WAX-OFF. Apply Lithofin OIL-EX as a thick poultice, cover with cling film, and leave overnight. Remove, scrub with Lithofin WEXA, and rinse. Re-seal with Lithofin TC Impregnator after complete drying.

Expert tips

  • Cotto is highly porous and tar can penetrate deeply
  • Multiple treatments may be required
  • Old wax layers may trap tar residue underneath
