About Tile, Stone and Concrete Cleaners
Grout haze, efflorescence, rust marks and built-up grime can dull tiles, natural stone and concrete long after installation. Choosing a cleaner matched to the surface and the type of mark lifts the problem without resorting to harsh scrubbing.
For routine care there are STAIN PROOF daily floor and countertop cleaners from Dry-Treat, plus Environex Refresh cleaning detergent. Tougher jobs call for STAIN PROOF acidic, alkaline or peroxide cleaners, a heavy duty citrus grout cleaner, or specialist removers such as Environex Anti-Eff for efflorescence and Ban Rust for rust stains. A poultice cleaner draws out deep stains, and an adhesive and paint remover handles residue. The Environex Cleaners subcategory groups that brand’s range, including HD, Sapphire, Cyclone and Maestro Organic.
Common Questions
Tile, Stone and Concrete Cleaners FAQ
What is the best tile cleaner for everyday mopping?
For routine cleaning, use a gentle cleaner rather than an acid. Dry-Treat says STAIN PROOF Daily Floor Cleaner, an enzyme concentrate, suits porcelain, ceramic and clay tile, grout and all natural stone, including marble and limestone. Environex Refresh is a pH neutral (neither acid nor alkaline) detergent made for routine cleaning of stone and tiled floors. Dilute as the label directs and test on a small area first.
Can I use an acid cleaner on natural stone?
Only on stone that is not acid sensitive. Dry-Treat lists STAIN PROOF Acidic Cleaner for granite, slate, basalt, brick, terracotta and ceramic and porcelain tile, and says it chemically etches acid sensitive surfaces, so keep it off marble and limestone. Environex says not to use Anti-Eff on bluestone, limestone or limestone composite products. If you are unsure what your stone is, test a hidden spot or use a neutral cleaner.
How do I remove oil stains from concrete?
STAIN PROOF Alkaline Cleaner is a powder concentrate that Dry-Treat says removes oil and grease stains from concrete, natural stone, tile, brick and grout. Mix it with water for general cleaning of driveways, garages and patios. For old, dried-in stains, Dry-Treat says it can be mixed into a poultice that sits on the stain to draw it out. Test on a small area before full use.
How do I get rid of grout haze or efflorescence?
On tile and stone that is not acid sensitive, STAIN PROOF Acidic Cleaner removes grout haze, efflorescence, rust stains and mortar mess. Do not let it dry on the surface. Dry-Treat says to always neutralise afterwards: dissolve 1 cup of STAIN PROOF Alkaline Cleaner in a bucket of water, pour it over, leave it about 3 minutes, then rinse several times with clean water. Environex Anti-Eff is made for efflorescence on pavers, terracotta, slate and sandstone.
What is a good outdoor tile and concrete cleaner for mould and grime?
STAIN PROOF Alkaline Cleaner is recommended for patios, driveways, decks and facades, and removes mould, leaf marks and general grime. For stubborn organic stains and deeply embedded dirt in porous stone and masonry, STAIN PROOF SMC Peroxide Cleaner is ready to use and has a near neutral pH of 7.5. Environex Maestro Organic Cleaner is a strong chlorine product for moss and mould, so read its label first and never mix it with, or follow it straight after, an acid cleaner.
