Initial Clean (Within 30 minutes of grouting)

Directions for use: After grouting, wait approximately 10-30 minutes (see the grout manufacturer’s instructions) until grout has thickened and become opaque.

Clean using a damp sponge.

Initial Clean (After 30 minutes of grouting)
For removal of cementitious residues after 30 minutes of grouting use Fila Porcelain Cement Residue Remover

Directions for use: Dilute 1:5 in clean water and spread the solution over the tiles with a cloth. Leave to act for 5 minutes. Use a green emulsifying pad and work the solution over the surface. Clean up the residue and rinse thoroughly with plenty of clean water.

A second application maybe necessary to remove any existing residue
This product should not be used neat as the dilution with water activates the ingredients of the cleaner. Always perform a test in a small portion of the surface to verify the acid resistance of the surface.

Apply Fila Multi Surface Stain Remover undiluted to the surface of the tiles with a cloth. Leave to act for 20 minutes then using an abrasive sponge work the solution over the surface. Clean up the residue and rinse with plenty of clean water.
