MARMOCLEANER-MILD

MARMOCLEANER-MILD is a premium-quality, pH-neutral daily maintenance cleaning concentrate specially formulated for the routine care of natural stone, ceramic tiles, vitrified surfaces, and architectural masonry. Engineered with biodegradable surfactants and a non-abrasive formulation, it breaks down and lifts everyday dirt, dust, grease, grime, light organic stains, and surface contaminants without damaging, dulling, or etching the natural colour, polished shine, or sealant layer of the substrate. It is a fast-drying, low-VOC formula that leaves a clean, streak-free surface with no sticky residue, making it suitable for luxury residential marble floors, commercial lobbies, kitchen countertops, bathrooms, and exterior stone walkways.

Key Highlights

• pH-neutral and non-corrosive: safeguards acid-sensitive calcium carbonate stones such as marble, limestone, and travertine from etching or loss of polish.
• Preserves original polish and sheen: non-abrasive composition cleans without wearing down glossy polished finishes, honed textures, or impregnating stone sealers.
• Fast-drying and streak-free: leaves no cloudy streaks, water marks, or sticky residue after mopping or wiping.
• Economical dilution: concentrated 1:20 with water for cost-effective large-scale maintenance.
• Eco-friendly and biodegradable: biodegradable surfactants and low VOC content for safer indoor air quality.
• Substrate versatility: safe on marble, granite, limestone, slate, terrazzo, porcelain vitrified tiles, ceramics, terracotta, and concrete.
• Interior and exterior: living areas, hospitality lobbies, bathroom vanities, kitchen counters, exterior patios, and stone cladding.

Application & Handling

1. Surface preparation. Sweep, dry-dust mop, or vacuum to remove loose dust, grit, and debris before wet cleaning. Never wet-mop abrasive sand or sharp debris across polished marble.

2. Dilution & mixing. Measure 1 part MARMOCLEANER-MILD into 20 parts clean potable water (for example 50 ml cleaner in 1 litre water, or 250 ml in a 5-litre mop bucket). Stir gently to a uniform solution. For heavily soiled or greasy kitchen floors, dilution may be adjusted to 1:10.

3. Application. Apply the diluted solution evenly with a clean microfiber mop, sponge, or soft lint-free cloth. Allow 2–5 minutes dwell time to break down grease, light organic grime, and foot-traffic marks. For stubborn grime or textured stone, gently agitate with a soft nylon-bristle brush or white non-abrasive pad. Wipe and rinse with a clean, damp microfiber mop or cloth wrung in clean water. Allow the surface to air dry to a streak-free finish.

Do’s

• Sweep the surface clean of loose sand and debris before mopping.
• Dilute 1 part cleaner with 20 parts clean water for daily maintenance.
• Allow 2–5 minutes dwell time for surfactants to emulsify surface grime.
• Keep the solution wet during dwell time; reapply lightly if it dries too quickly.
• Use soft microfiber mops or soft-bristle nylon brushes only.
• Perform a small test patch before full-scale use on antique or unsealed specialty stone.
• Keep the container tightly capped after every use.
• Allow stone to dry completely before applying any penetrating sealer or impregnator.

Don’ts

• Do not mix with acidic cleaners, alkaline strippers, or bleach-based chemicals.
• Do not use abrasive scouring pads, steel wool, or wire brushes that scratch polished finishes.
• Do not allow the cleaning solution to dry completely on the stone before wiping.
• Do not apply on excessively hot surfaces or under direct scorching sunlight (> 35°C).
• Do not use for hardened cement mortar, grout haze, epoxy residue, deep rust stains, or paint (use specialised products such as MARMOEFFLO-REMOVER, Marmo Poxy-Strip, or MARMORUST-REMOVER).

Storage & Safety

Storage: Store in a cool, dry place between +5°C and +30°C away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep the container tightly closed.

Handling: Wear protective gloves and eye protection during dilution and handling. Use in well-ventilated areas. Avoid skin and eye contact.

First aid:

• Skin — wash thoroughly with mild soap and clean water; seek medical advice if irritation develops.
• Eyes — rinse with clean water for several minutes; remove contact lenses if present; consult a physician if irritation persists.
• Inhalation — move to fresh air immediately if feeling unwell.
• Ingestion — do not induce vomiting; rinse mouth with clean water and seek immediate medical assistance.
• Disposal — dispose of residues and packaging according to local environmental regulations. Do not discharge concentrated chemicals into open watercourses.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is MARMOCLEANER-MILD?
A professional pH-neutral cleaning concentrate for daily and routine cleaning of natural stones, marble, granite, and tiles without dulling their finish.

Why is a pH-neutral cleaner necessary for marble?
Marble, limestone, and travertine are calcium carbonate, which reacts and dissolves in acids. Acidic or harsh alkaline household cleaners etch, dull, and erode polished marble. MARMOCLEANER-MILD has a balanced neutral pH (~7.0) that cleans without chemical etching.

Does it damage stone sealers?
No. Harsh detergents strip protective penetrating sealers. MARMOCLEANER-MILD is gentle and preserves the lifespan of impregnators such as MARMOBARRIER and MARMOSEAL-W.

What is the recommended dilution for regular mopping?
1 part MARMOCLEANER-MILD with 20 parts clean water (1:20). For heavy grease on kitchen floors, 1:10 may be used.

Does it leave streaks or hazy films?
No. The fast-drying, streak-free formulation leaves no sticky residue or cloudy haze.

Can it be used on polished granite?
Yes. It is safe and effective for polished granite, quartzite, slate, and onyx.

Is it safe for vitrified and porcelain tiles?
Yes. It works on polished vitrified tiles, glazed ceramic tiles, mosaics, and concrete pavers.

What is the dwell time?
Keep the diluted solution wet on the surface for 2–5 minutes so surfactants can loosen dirt and grease before mopping away.

What if the solution dries before mopping?
Never let it dry completely. If it begins drying, lightly reapply fresh diluted solution to re-emulsify the dirt before wiping it off.

Can it remove heavy cement or grout haze?
No. It is a mild maintenance cleaner. For post-construction cement slurry, efflorescence, or grout haze, use MARMOEFFLO-REMOVER.

Can it remove deep red wine, coffee, or tea stains?
For surface organic grime, yes. For deep stains absorbed inside stone pores, use MARMOMAGIC-STAINOUT.

Can it remove rust stains?
No. Rust requires a dedicated chelating cleaner such as MARMORUST-REMOVER.

Is it safe for kitchen countertops and food prep areas?
Yes. Once cleaned and wiped dry with a microfiber cloth, countertops are clean and suitable for food preparation.

What is the coverage rate?
One litre of concentrate covers approximately 20–40 m² depending on porosity, dirt level, and dilution.

What tools are best?
A clean microfiber mop, sponge, or soft lint-free towel. For grout lines or textured stone, a soft nylon-bristle brush. Never use wire brushes or abrasive pads.

Is it environmentally friendly?
Yes. It is formulated with biodegradable surfactants, contains low VOCs, and is non-hazardous when used as directed.

What is the flash point and density?
Density 1.00 ± 0.05 g/cm³ and flash point > 70°C.

What pack sizes are available?
1 litre bottles and 5 litre heavy-duty cans.

What is the shelf life and storage?
12 months in unopened original containers stored between +5°C and +30°C away from heat and direct sunlight.
