For cleaning, stain-removing, preparing a floor before treatment or stripping your stone, terracotta or sandstone floors, Valmour recommends the following products :
1- Stripping:
To eliminate coats of sealer, varnish or paint, choose between the Stripper Liquid or Stripper Gel. The gel is particularly useful for horizontal surfaces.
2- Cleaning, Stain-removing:
To recover the original appearance of your floor, or before a treatment, all traces of dirt and previously used products must be removed.
Use either:
- The Wax and Dirt Remover Louis XIII, a highly concentrated product which eliminates wax, grease, dirty oil, grime etc....
Or :
- The Emulsion Stripper AVEL which is recommended before using the Varnishing Emulsion AVEL for the first time. Easy efficient action: eliminates up to 10 coats of self-shining emulsions.
3- End of job cleaning :
Newly laid or certain old terracotta tiles frequently show white veils which are risings of cement, lime, and calcium. To eliminate them, Valmour proposes 2 products to be used on red tiles, terra cotta, sandstone and natural acid-proof stone :
- for white veils linked to the pointing, choose the Acid Based Remover LOUIS XIII and apply after the laying. Extra powerful, this product also eliminates rust and oil while preserving the joints.
For resistant white veils, or the recurring problems of saltpetre or humidity, choose the White Stain Eliminator LOUIS XIII. Its exclusive acid-free formula eliminates the white marks and nourishes the floor tiles in depth. it is recommended for terracotta and red tiles because it intensifies their shade. This product can be used for regular cleaning if the the white veils persist.
Apply on a clean, dry and grease-less floor, after treatment with the Wax and Dirt Remover LOUIS XIII for example.
3- Stain removing :
Localised fatty stains can be removed with Terre de Sommière AVEL. If the stains are old, warm them up before with a hair dryer or soak them with the Wood-Floor &Tile Cleaner / Grease Remover LOUIS XIII for easier removal.
Once cleaned, protect your terra cotta tiles with the Tile Protector Inpregnator LOUIS XIII.
