Clinker - Frequently Asked Questions
3 questions about caring for clinker
When should I use MN Power-Clean vs KF Intensive Cleaner?
MN Power-Clean is formulated for natural stone - optimised for marble, granite, limestone, etc. KF Intensive Cleaner is formulated for ceramic tiles, cotto, and clinker. Both are alkaline intensive cleaners. If you have a natural stone surface → MN Power-Clean. If you have ceramic/porcelain tiles, cotto, or clinker → KF Intensive Cleaner. Both are safe on all surfaces (alkaline), but each is optimised for its specific surface category.

How do I enhance the colour of my clinker tiles?
Lithofin KF Clinker Oil is specifically designed to enhance clinker colour. It penetrates the surface to reveal the warm natural tones and brick-like character. Apply thinly with a cloth or sponge. Remove excess after 10-15 minutes. Buff when dry. For a natural, unenhanced look: use KF Protective Impregnator instead (invisible protection without colour change). Daily care: KF Conditioning Cleaner.

How should I care for clinker tiles used outdoors?
For outdoor clinker tiles, regular sweeping and washing with water is essential. Use Lithofin KF Stain-Stop to protect against stains and enhance durability. Avoid using acidic cleaners that can damage the surface.
