Lithofin MN Care for Bluestone

Your newly laid bluestone hallway quickly dulls under daily shoes and grit. Mop water leaves streaks, and colour depth fades week by week. MN Blauwe Hardsteen Onderhoud ends that cycle with a single 20 ml dose in a bucket.

What MN Blauwe Hardsteen Onderhoud Does

MN Blauwe Hardsteen Onderhoud is a neutral maintenance cleaner for bluestone and other natural stone. At pH 8 it suspends greasy films with non-ionic surfactants while replenishing the stone’s micro-pores with care additives that boost colour by up to 15 % reflectance. The 1:500 solution leaves no alkaline residue, so acid-sensitive limestone stays unharmed.

When to Use

• Freshly installed bluestone floors in kitchens - dilute 20 ml/10 L for daily maintenance (daily-maintenance)
• Matting entryways on limestone - 40 ml/10 L for fortnightly refresh
• Light grease on granite worktops - 10 ml/5 L wipe-down
• Soap film on porcelain shower walls - 25 ml/10 L spray application
• Dusty slate patio after rain - 30 ml/10 L mop rinse

How to Apply

1. Fill a clean bucket with 10 L warm water and add exactly 20 ml (≈ 2 caps) of product.
2. Immerse a flat microfibre mop, wring to damp, and distribute evenly over 15 - 20 m².
3. Allow a 3-minute contact time; do not let the surface dry during this phase on heavily soiled zones.
4. No rinsing is required; let the floor air-dry to a streak-free finish within 15 minutes.

Average coverage equals 2 ml/m²; one 1 L bottle treats about 500 m². Re-apply whenever the surface loses its silk sheen.

Surface Compatibility

The formula excels on bluestone, basalt, and low-porosity granite because its pH 8 blend will not etch calcite. It remains safe on medium-porosity marble, sandstone, and quartz-composite as the surfactants rinse residue-free. High-porosity cotto and terracotta accept the product but may need a second pass to avoid absorbed water. Do not use on oiled wood or unsealed metal.

Choosing the Right Product

For stubborn wax or construction grime, switch to MN Power-Clean at 1:5 dilution (general-cleaning). For ongoing neutral care on mixed stone and tile surfaces, MN Wash & Clean offers a broader fragrance but less colour enhancement.

Pro Tips

• Add warm (40 °C) water; higher temperature cuts fatty deposits 20 % faster.
• Use two-bucket mopping on porous sandstone to prevent redepositing soil.
• Buff dry with a white pad on polished marble to raise gloss by an extra 5 GU (gloss units).
