Lithofin KF Care Set for Ceramic Countertops (Compact)
Art. 204-11-B
Your polished ceramic island looks dull after weeks of cooking splashes and coffee rings. Daily wiping leaves smears, and abrasive powders threaten the glaze. Lithofin KF Maintenance Set restores the crisp, streak-free finish in your kitchen within minutes.
What Maintenance Set Does
Maintenance Set is a mildly alkaline cleaner and conditioner kit for glazed ceramic and sintered porcelain worktops. The pH 9.5 spray dissolves grease, tannin, and limescale film, while the pH 8.5 wipe-on polish lays down a nanometre-thin protective layer that resists new deposits for up to 72 h. Each 500 ml bottle treats 300 m² at 1:20 dilution, cutting average kitchen upkeep time by 40 %.
When to Use
- Daily wipe-down of a ceramic hob at 1:40.
- Post-meal degreasing of a porcelain breakfast bar at 1:20.
- Weekly refresh of a utility-room splashback at 1:30.
- Quick spot-clean of coffee stains on a ceramic table at full strength.
How to Apply
- Shake cleaner, spray 20 ml per m² evenly over the surface.
- Spread with a microfibre pad, allow 2 minutes contact.
- Rinse with 100 ml clean water per m² and wipe dry.
- Apply polish undiluted, buff after 5 minutes with a dry cloth.
Coverage: 30-50 m² per application. Surfaces are food-safe when dry; curing time 10 minutes.
Surface Compatibility
The formula bonds to fired silica matrices, making it ideal for glazed ceramic (Mohs 5) and dense porcelain (Mohs 7). Alkali reserves lift acidic residues without etching, and the low-viscosity carrier penetrates medium porosity tiles evenly. Do not use on unglazed limestone or marble.
Choosing the Right Product
For deep descaling after grouting, use Lithofin KF Intensive Cleaner. For sealing unglazed quarry tiles, choose Lithofin KF Protector. Maintenance Set remains the go-to for day-to-day hygiene.
Pro Tips
- Warm the surface to 25 °C before spraying; solubility of grease rises by 15 % per 10 °C.
- Use distilled water for the rinse in hard-water areas to avoid 0.1 g/m² lime spots.
- Buff with a white pad; darker pads may contain oxides that leave grey streaks.

Frequently asked questions
Can Maintenance Set remove dried tomato sauce on porcelain?
Yes. The alkaline spray dissolves organic acids within 2 minutes, then wipes off without ghosting.
Is Maintenance Set safe for food-prep ceramic areas?
After the 10-minute drying period, residues are inert and compliant with EU 1935/2004 food-contact rules.
How often should I reapply the polish on a busy kitchen island?
Buff the polish every 2–3 days or after roughly 15 cleaning cycles for optimum water beading.
Will the alkaline spray dull a high-gloss ceramic finish?
No. pH 9.5 is below the threshold that attacks glaze; Mohs 5 hardness remains unaffected.
