Terracotta Floor Cleaning, Stripping or Stain Removing

For cleaning, stain-removing, preparing a floor before treatment or stripping your stone, terracotta or sandstone floors etc., Valmour proposes the following products :

1- Stripping :

To eliminate coats of sealer, varnish or paint, you have at your disposal our Gel Stripper DECAPBIO 2 Valmour The gel version is particularly useful for verticalal 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:

- Wax and Dirt Remover Louis XIII, a highly concentrated product which eliminates wax, grease, dirty oil, grime etc....
Or :
- 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 Acid Based Remover LOUIS XIII and apply after the laying. Extra-strong product which also eliminates rust and oil, but does not damage the joints. 
And :
-In case of resistant white veils, or recurring problems with saltpeter or humidity, choose 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. 

4- 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  your terra cotta tiles are clean, protect them with Tile Protector Inpregnator LOUIS XIII.
