Stain Removal from Natural Stone
Stain Removal Guide
Stain Removal Instructions
When oil, wax, grease, or softening has penetrated deeply into the stone or artificial surface, we recommend HMK R152 oil and wax remover. HMK R152 is great for natural and artificial stone, ceramic, clinker/clay tiles, concrete, cement, and mineral plaster.
Step 1: Apply stain remover
- Cover stained area in HMK 152
- Ensure that the covered area is approximately 1/8″ (5mm) thick
Step 2: cover
- Cover the area completely with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
Step 3: Prick for evaporation holes
- Use a pointed object to pierce holes in the cover so that the cleaner can evaporate.
Step 4: Allow it to work
- Allow around 24 hours for the product to work.
- The dried cleaner has now removed the stain/dirt.
Step 5: Remove the residue
- Brush away the dried residue powder.
- Clean the area with HMK R155 Intensive Cleaner – acid free.
We wish you luck!
