THE CLEANING

Always do a test first:

Determine the required water/product ratio in advance by making a test in an inconspicuous place.

After the test:

Apply the product liberally with water in the required ratio.

Let it soak for about 5 to 10 minutes (do not let it dry, otherwise the cleaner will fall asleep)

Scrub the surface with a Doodlebug on a handle, under which a white scrub pad is attached

Remove the contaminated water with a water vacuum cleaner

Rinse thoroughly with clean water. Ensure the product is completely removed from the surface. Rinse again if necessary.

Step 01

NORMAL/DAILY MAINTENANCE

Maintaining ceramics; regular mopping.

If a film has formed on the tile due to the use of unsuitable products, it will first need to be cleaned (see above). Then, adjust your maintenance routine to prevent or delay the buildup of a maintenance film.

Mop lightly damp using a good microfiber flat mop. Moisten the flat mop with a spray bottle or use a sprinkler system to mop lightly damp from the start.

Mop once a week with a few capfuls of Faber floor care in the mop water. In between, mop with water only.
