Rubber Marks - Limestone

Professional advice and the right Lithofin products for your limestone

Low

Rubber marks and tyre tracks on stone and tile surfaces are caused by the transfer of rubber compounds from shoes, tyres, furniture feet, and other rubber or synthetic rubber items. These dark streaks and scuff marks are common on floor surfaces in garages, hallways, commercial spaces, and anywhere with heavy foot traffic or wheeled equipment. Rubber marks consist of polymers, carbon black (giving them their dark colour), and plasticisers that can transfer to and adhere to hard surfaces.

Step-by-step instructions

Apply Lithofin MN Power-Clean undiluted directly on the rubber marks. Leave for 5 minutes, then scrub with a white nylon pad. Rinse thoroughly. For stubborn marks, use Lithofin OIL-EX - apply, leave for 30 minutes, wipe and rinse. Regular cleaning with Lithofin MN Wash & Clean prevents buildup.
