Lithofin MN Care Set for Natural Stone Kitchen (Re-sealing)

Your polished kitchen island has lost its original sheen, the splash zone behind the sink shows water spots, and the bathroom vanity picks up fingerprints every day. The Care Kit LE brings three MN products together to clean, protect, and refresh all in one box.

What Care Kit LE Does

Care Kit LE is a neutral maintenance kit for natural stone. MN Easy-Clean (pH 7) removes daily grime and limescale with mild surfactants that leave no streaks. MN Power-Clean (pH 10) cuts through oily films and wax residues by breaking long-chain fatty acids within 10 minutes. MN Stain-Stop (pH 6) impregnates the pore structure and lowers water absorption by 90 % while allowing 98 % vapor diffusion.

When to Use

• Daily wipe-down of a marble vanity - 1:20 dilution MN Easy-Clean.
• Weekly mop of a granite kitchen floor - 1:40 dilution MN Easy-Clean.
• Spring deep clean of a limestone patio - 1:4 dilution MN Power-Clean.
• Annual sealing of a sandstone shower wall - undiluted MN Stain-Stop.
• Spot protection on a slate hearth after repairs - undiluted MN Stain-Stop.

How to Apply

1. Spray MN Easy-Clean, wipe with a microfibre cloth, allow to flash-off for PT2M.
2. For heavy build-up, spread MN Power-Clean 1:4 with a white pad, agitate for PT10M, rinse twice.
3. Let the surface dry to <3 % moisture (approx. PT2H), then spread MN Stain-Stop evenly with a lambswool applicator.
4. After PT15M, buff off surplus with an absorbent towel to avoid gloss variations.

Typical coverage: Easy-Clean 30-40 m²/L, Power-Clean 12 m²/L, Stain-Stop 10-20 m²/L. Full curing of the impregnator takes 24 h; keep the area dry during this time.

Surface Compatibility

The kit excels on porous stones such as bluestone, basalt, and terrazzo because the neutral pH cleaners will not etch acid-sensitive calcite while the solvent carrier in Stain-Stop penetrates micro-capillaries without closing them. Do not use Power-Clean on polished aluminium fittings.

Choosing the Right Product

For stripping old acrylic coatings, use Lithofin WAX-OFF. For cement-film removal after grouting, choose Lithofin MN Builder’s Clean; Care Kit LE handles ongoing maintenance and stain protection.

Pro Tips

• Damp-wipe with Easy-Clean before sealing; a residue-free surface increases Stain-Stop uptake by up to 15 %.
• Warm the stone to 20 °C before impregnation; higher temperature lowers viscosity and boosts penetration depth.
• Buff Stain-Stop twice at 5-minute intervals; the second pass eliminates any shadowing on high-polish marble.
