Faber Tile Cleaner Gel Review
Those stubborn dirt sports and residues on tiles can be exasperating. Grime can have bonded with the material, defying the usual cleaning methods. Old build-ups may seem to have formed part of the surface, further deteriorating the appeal of the space. There are also cases where, in an attempt to deal with these sections, one ends up using the wrong cleaning agents, creating a new problem: patina. Restoring the original appearance of the tiles calls for the use of powerful cleaning agents. Here one needs to be very selective in the kind of product that is used. For starters, while a strong cleaner is necessary, you also want to balance this with ensuring the safety of the underlying surface being worked on. You don’t want to be in a situation where the tiles get damaged in the course of the cleaning. The reliability of the brand also comes into consideration, where you want to get solutions from a company with a proven track record, in order to protect your installation. Faber Tile Cleaner Gel features as an enhanced cleaning agent particularly effective for those difficult situations.
Benefits Of The Faber Tile Cleaner Gel
- Deep cleaning agent
The acidic gel detergent is a powerful cleaner, getting into the pores and texture of the texture installation being worked on, to extract the dirt and stains that are embedded in the material. The Faber Tile Cleaner Gel dissolves the dirt and stains, from those recent spots that are defying conventional cleaning methods, to the old residues that built up over time. This attribute makes it a key asset in your building cleaning arsenal, tackling those spots that prove problematic to conventional cleaners.
You can also use the Faber Tile Cleaner Gel to deal with the superficial patinas that were left behind by other traditional cleaning agents. These are those situations where the unsuitable cleaning agent was used, calling for a formulation to solve the problem of the resultant residue – a task that the Faber Tile Cleaner Gel is completely able to do. The patina removal also applies to those that are caused by cement or epoxy-based grouts and seals. That way you can bring back the original appearance of the surface.
- Thick consistency
Sometimes you’re dealing with markings, grout residue, patina and stains on walls. With this formulation, even such situations can be resolved. The Faber Tile Cleaner Gel comes with a high viscosity. This, coupled with the thick nature of the product, is particularly beneficial for cases where you want to work on vertical surfaces – like removing those stubborn stains that are on the walls of the rooms in the building.
- Formulated for any material that is not acid-sensitive
The Faber Tile Cleaner Gel can be used on a vast array of surfaces, delivering its cleaning action without putting the installation at risk. These include granite, glazed ceramics, quartzite and terracotta, all through to lapped, polished, natural and textured porcelain stoneware.
However, being a slightly acidic product, you should not use the Faber Tile Cleaner Gel for acid-sensitive surfaces, such as limestone or marble. To test its suitability for your particular situation, first carry out a spot test on a hidden area or unused tile before application on the rest of the surface. Assess the impact of the formulation on the treated area, and whether it affects the original appearance of the surface in question.
- Fast stain and residue removal
The Faber Tile Cleaner Gel has been formulated to minimise the amount of time and resources taken to deal with those troublesome stains and dirt spots. It comes ready to use, and only dilution is required depending on how stubborn the grime being dealt with is. Follow these steps for the application:
- Dilute the gel in clean water, mixing 1 part of the product with 2 or 3 parts of water. For the really stubborn residue, use it undiluted – as well as when you’re removing surface patina.
- Apply the gel onto the target area and rub it in. The tools you can use depend on what you find to be more convenient for your situation – ranging from cloths and mops to larger equipment like a single disc machine, for those working on expansive floor areas.
- Give the Faber Tile Cleaner Gel 10 to 20 minutes to act on the area. During this time, you can continue wiping/rubbing it into the spot.
- Remove the residue and use lots of water to rinse the area.
- Assess the residues. If there is some residue that has remained, you can replicate the application, but this time increase the concentration of the solution slightly.
The equipment used can then be cleaned with water. Some key issues to note include:
- It’s important to first clear away the dust and loose debris before treating the area with the Faber Tile Cleaner Gel. This is because such particulate manner would simply lead to resource wastage, yet they can be easily swept or vacuumed off, to leave the gel to focus on the truly stubborn dirt.
- The gel should only be applied to a dry surface.
- For cases that involve recently laid or grouted installations, the adhesives or grout used should first be allowed to cure before using the product on the area.
The affordable pricing of the Faber Tile Cleaner Gel is the first step in reducing the costs that go into the cleaning process. It is available in 1L bottles and 5L cans, for you to go with the option that suits your particular needs. The high effectiveness of the formulation, where it gets rid of the stubborn stains by itself, without needing to be mixed with other chemicals, further gives you more value for your many. Each litre of the product can be used on 10 to 15m² of surface, and this will depend on factors such as how much it has been diluted.
