Professional advice and the right Lithofin products for your porcelain

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

Spray Lithofin KF Intensive Cleaner on the rubber marks. Leave for 5 minutes, scrub with a white nylon pad or melamine sponge, and rinse. For heavy marks on textured tiles, use undiluted Lithofin KF Ceramic-Clean with a stiff nylon brush.

Expert tips

  • Textured tiles may trap rubber in surface grooves
