Lithofin KF Ceramic-Clean
Art. 111-11-B
Soap scum clouds your shower wall, and hard-water spots creep across the ceramic floor. Five minutes later, Ceramic-Clean strips the limescale and leaves the tile streak-free.
What Ceramic-Clean Does
Ceramic-Clean is an acidic cleaner for ceramic and porcelain surfaces. Its pH 2.0 solution converts calcium carbonate into water-soluble salts, liberating deposits in 5-10 minutes. Surfactants cut through soap and body oil so you rinse everything away at once.
When to Use
- Shower walls in a ceramic bathroom - dilute 1:5.
- Porcelain floor around a swimming pool - dilute 1:10.
- Glass mosaic backsplash with stubborn limescale - use undiluted.
- Granite vanity top free of etching risk - dilute 1:10.
- Basalt patio after winter salt spray - dilute 1:5.
How to Apply
- Mix 1 part Ceramic-Clean with 5-10 parts water in a spray bottle. Use neat for white crusts.
- Wet the surface, then spread with a sponge or cloth; rate 30 ml/m².
- Wait 5-10 minutes; scrub lightly with a white pad.
- Rinse twice with clean water; wipe dry.
Coverage reaches 10-30 m²/L on tiles and 15-25 m²/L on glass. No curing time; you can walk on the floor immediately.
Surface Compatibility
The formula excels on porcelain, ceramic, and glass mosaic because their acid-resistant structure (Mohs ≥5) prevents etching. It also works on granite, slate, basalt, quartz composite, and clinker. Do not use on marble, limestone, travertine, or bluestone.
Choosing the Right Product
For everyday wipe-down, use KF Conditioning Cleaner. For black spots in joints, pick KF Mildew-Away. Ceramic-Clean tackles mineral buildup that those neutral products cannot dissolve.
Pro Tips
- Heat speeds reaction: apply after running the shower so the tile sits at 30 °C.
- Squeegee daily; you cut limescale load by 80 % and need Ceramic-Clean only monthly.
- Use a soft brush on grout; the acid loosens residue without weakening cement joints.
