The natural stone installed in your home, office building, hotel, and even medical centre is an investment that should give you years of elegant service. That aesthetic appeal that they add to the interior space, the warmth and touch of class- you want it to last. There are different kinds of natural stone. Take the composition for instance. There are siliceous stones that are the more durable variety, where they are composed of mainly silica or quartz-like particles. Examples of these are slate, granite, sandstone, brownstone and quartzite. Then there are those composed of mainly calcium carbonate, which are more sensitive to the cleaning agents used. These include marble, limestone, travertine and onyx. Different finishes can be carried out on the installations, including treating them with acrylics, waxes, enhancers and other coatings. Some can be stained to meet the decor needs of the property owner. These installations are made in different sections of the establishment, from kitchen countertops, the floor, bathrooms, hot tub areas, the outdoor pool and patio, steps, walkways and even fountains. Whichever the case, they need to be properly maintained, and this includes getting rid of one of the universal causes of deterioration: dirt. For this, turn to the Faber Neugel 5L - Daily Cleaner Concentrate.
With natural stone surfaces, cleaning is not just about drenching them in detergent and scrubbing away the dirt. In fact, use a product with the wrong pH and you will ruin the installation; and plenty of resources will go into repairing and reversing the damage made. General purpose cleaners, vinegar, bleach and ammonia-based products, bathroom cleaners, those formulations used to work on the tubs and tiles, dry cleaners and other abrasive agents- they will wreak havoc on natural stone. Foam cleaners, the products relied on to get rid of the scale deposits in sinks and toilet bowls- they are not suitable for use on natural stone surfaces. Other like soapstone cause deposits to be left behind, which will be frustrating to remove. DIY formulations like the popular lemon juice solutions- these are a threat to the material. You want your installation to remain beautiful for years, and for this to happen the appropriate products need to be employed for their maintenance. That’s where units like the Faber Neugel 5L - Daily Cleaner Concentrate come in.

How To Use The Faber Neugel 5L - Daily Cleaner Concentrate
Before working on any surface with the product, first get rid of those loose particles on it. The dust and debris should be swept or vacuumed off. Thereafter, proceed with these steps;
- Dilute the Faber Neugel 5L - Daily Cleaner Concentrate with clean water. How you go about this depends on the kind of surface you'll be working on. For granite, marble and other surfaces with medium absorption, add 20-30 grams of product in every 5L of water. For terracotta, cotto and other materials that have a high or medium-high absorption, 30-40g of product will be needed for the 5L of water.
- Wash the surface. Simply distribute a fine layer of the solution onto the surface, then clean it using your preferred method. Anything from cloths, mops, and hard floor cleaners to even single disc machines can be used. Here it will depend on the size of the area that you’re working on, the tools in your arsenal, and the mode that you find most convenient for your particular situation.
Those sections with stubborn dirt will require additional scrubbing.
- Allow to dry.
After you’re done, wash the equipment that has been used with water.
