Soap Residue - Glass Mosaic
Professional advice and the right Lithofin products for your glass mosaic
MediumSoap residue is a stubborn, milky or cloudy film that builds up on tile and natural stone surfaces, particularly in bathrooms and kitchens. It forms when soap (especially bar soap containing tallow or fatty acids) reacts with minerals in hard water, creating an insoluble calcium or magnesium stearate deposit.
