Vodna znamenja in jedkine - Diagnostika in zdravljenje

Identifikacija in zdravljenje vodnih znamenj, mineralnih usedlin in jedkin na kamnitih površinah. Pravilno zdravljenje je odvisno od vzroka.

Treatment Variants

Mineral deposits / limescale rings (white residue ON the surface)

1. Lithofin MN Wash & Clean — For acid-sensitive stone (marble, limestone, travertine): apply MN Wash & Clean diluted 1:5 to the affected area. Gently work with a soft nylon pad in circular motions. The mild alkaline formula dissolves mineral deposits without attacking the stone.
   Dilution: 1:5 · Wait: 5 minutes
2. Lithofin MN Wash & Clean — Rinse thoroughly with clean water. If deposits remain, repeat with slightly stronger dilution (1:3). For stubborn hard water rings, apply undiluted, leave 5 minutes, scrub gently.
   Dilution: 1:3 to undiluted · Wait: 5 minutes

Mineral deposits on acid-resistant stone (granite, slate, basalt)

1. Lithofin KF Cement Residue Remover — For acid-resistant stone only: apply a small amount of Cement Residue Remover to mineral deposits. This acidic product dissolves calcium quickly. Leave 2-5 minutes maximum.
   Dilution: diluted 1:5 · Wait: 2-5 minutes
2. Clean water — Rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean water to neutralise the acid. Dry with clean cloth.
   Wait: immediate

Etch marks / acid damage on polished marble or limestone

1. Lithofin MN Polish — Apply a small amount of Polish Cream to the etch mark. Work in circular motions with a soft cotton cloth or felt pad. For light etching: 2-3 minutes of hand buffing is enough. For deeper etching: use more pressure and buff for 5-10 minutes.
   Dilution: undiluted · Wait: work until shine returns
2. Lithofin MN Polish — Extend polishing slightly beyond the etch mark to blend the restored area with the surrounding surface. Wipe clean with damp cloth. Inspect in angled light — etch marks are most visible in reflected light.
   Dilution: undiluted · Wait: 5-10 minutes

Trapped moisture / dark patches in stone

1. None — patience — If the stone is unsealed, trapped moisture usually evaporates naturally in 24-72 hours. Do NOT apply heat (hairdryer, heat gun) — rapid drying can cause surface cracking on some stones. Simply allow natural airflow.
   Wait: 24-72 hours
2. Lithofin MN Stain-Stop — Once completely dry, seal the stone with Stain-Stop to prevent future moisture absorption. This makes cleaning easier and prevents water marks from forming.
   Dilution: undiluted · Wait: 24 hours before use

Tips

• Test s kapljico vode je najbolj zanesljiv način za razlikovanje mineralnih usedlin od jedkin - vedno diagnosticirajte pred zdravljenjem.
• Uporabljajte podstavke na marmornih površinah. En sam rezina limone lahko jedka marmor v manj kot 60 sekundah.
• Območja s trdo vodo proizvajajo več mineralnih usedlin. Razmislite o uporabi destilirane vode za čiščenje poliranega marmorja.
• Polish Cream deluje le na kamnih, ki vsebujejo kalcij (marmor, apnenec, travertin). Ne obnavlja sijaja na granitu ali umetnem kamnu.
• Pri obsežnem jedkanju na marmornih tleh razmislite o profesionalnem brušenju z diamanti - Polish Cream je namenjen le za lokalna popravila.

⚠️ Warnings

• NIKOLI ne uporabljajte kislih odstranjevalcev vodnega kamna na marmorju, apnencu ali travertinu - kislina bo ustvarila NOVE jedkine.
• NIKOLI ne uporabljajte kisa, limone ali kole kot 'domača sredstva' na apnenčastem kamnu - te kisline povzročajo prav tisto škodo, ki jo poskušate popraviti.
• Ne zamenjujte jedkin s madeži: jedkanje je fizična poškodba površine (odstranjen material), ne razbarvanje. Odstranjevalci madežev ne bodo popravili jedkin.
• Na brušenem (mat) marmorju so jedkine manj vidne, vendar še vedno prisotne. Polish Cream lahko doda več sijaja kot okoliška brušena površina - najprej preizkusite na skritem mestu.

Expected Result

Vodna znamenja pravilno diagnosticirana in zdravljena. Mineralne usedline raztopljene, jedkine spolirane ali vlaga naravno izhlapela.
