What is the average cost per m² for commercial cleaning?
The average cost per m² for commercial cleaning can range from €2 to €5, depending on the type of service and the condition of the floors.

What is the difference between pH neutral, alkaline, and acidic cleaners?
pH neutral cleaners are safe for all stone types and effectively remove dirt without damaging the surface. Alkaline cleaners are great for removing grease and heavy soil but may not be suitable for sensitive stones like marble. Acidic cleaners can effectively remove limescale but should be used cautiously on calcareous stones. For a safe option, use Lithofin MN Easy-Clean, which is pH neutral.

What is the difference between cream polish and liquid polish?
Cream polish is thicker and often provides a more intense shine, making it suitable for high-gloss finishes on stone. Liquid polish is easier to apply and may be better for regular maintenance, providing a subtle shine. For best results, use Lithofin WAX for a durable finish.

What is the difference between professional grade and consumer grade products?
Professional grade products are typically more concentrated and effective, designed for heavy-duty use in commercial settings. Consumer grade products are formulated for everyday use and may be less potent but are easier to handle. Lithofin offers both types, ensuring you have the right solution for your specific needs.

How do I re-seal stone that was previously sealed?
To re-seal previously sealed stone, first clean the surface with Lithofin Wexa to remove any dirt or old residues. After cleaning, apply Lithofin MN Stain-Stop for effective protection. Ensure the stone is completely dry before sealing.
