Lithofin MN Care Set for Natural Stone Floors (Compact)
Art. 203-11-B
Your polished marble hallway starts to dull, grout lines trap grime, and weekend mopping no longer restores the original sheen. The Lithofin MN Onderhoudsset ends that slide: one box gives you both deep-cleaning and weekly maintenance power for every natural stone floor in the house.
What Onderhoudsset Does
Onderhoudsset is a neutral care kit for natural stone floors. The 2-product system pairs a pH ≈ 10 alkaline cleaner that breaks down fatty soils and soap scum with a pH ≈ 8 maintenance wash that lifts day-to-day dirt without leaving surfactant films. Solvents at <2 % dissolve light wax, while complexing agents bind Ca²⁺ to prevent streaks. One kit services 60-120 m² when dosed at 1:200.
When to Use
- First-time restoration of a limestone kitchen floor - dilute 1:10 for the initial scrub.
- Weekly wipe of a marble bathroom - dilute 1:200 in warm water.
- Post-renovation dust film on granite tiles - dilute 1:20, dwell 5 min.
- Traffic lanes on a slate entrance - dilute 1:15, agitate with soft pad.
- Quick refresh of porcelain kitchen plinths - dilute 1:200, no rinse.
How to Apply
- Vacuum the floor, then mix 50 ml cleaner with 1 L warm water (1:20) for deep cleaning.
- Spread solution with a microfibre mop, keep surface wet for 5 minutes.
- Scrub joints using a white pad, pick up slurry with a wet vac.
- For daily care, add 25 ml maintenance wash to 5 L water (1:200) and mop; do not rinse.
One litre covers 5-15 m² at 1:20 or up to 300 m² at 1:200. Floor is touch-dry after 30 minutes at 20 °C and ready for foot traffic immediately.
Surface Compatibility
The formula is safe on acid-sensitive marble and limestone because the mildly alkaline pH will not etch CaCO₃. Low-foaming surfactants lift dirt from dense granite and basalt, while sequestrants keep pores open on porous sandstone and terracotta. Do not use on oiled wood or waxed cork.
Choosing the Right Product
For stain repellence after cleaning, apply MN Stain-Stop. For cement haze or heavy builders’ dirt, shift to MN Power-Clean.
Pro Tips
- Use 40 °C water: surfactant activity doubles between 20 °C and 40 °C, cutting dwell time by 3 minutes.
- Replace rinse water every 30 m² to prevent redepositing fine clay particles.
- Buff dry with a white pad: friction heat raises gloss on Mohs 3-4 stones by up to 10 GU.

Frequently asked questions
Can Onderhoudsset be used on marble?
Yes. The pH 8–10 range will not etch marble’s CaCO₃ matrix and is safe for Mohs 3 substrates.
How long does one Onderhoudsset last?
At 1:200 dilution the 1 L maintenance wash treats about 300 m², enough for six months of weekly cleaning on 50 m².
Does Onderhoudsset remove old wax layers?
The stronger bottle at 1:10 dissolves acrylic wax up to 30 µm thick; stubborn layers may need a second pass.
Is granite affected by repeated use?
No. Granite’s Mohs 7 surface is acid-resistant; neutral cleaners leave no residue and will not dull the polish.
Do I need to rinse after daily maintenance?
Not at 1:200. Residual surfactant is below 0.05 %, so it dries streak-free.
