HMK R157 Tile Deep Cleaner – Intensive Cleaner 1L, Item No. 16172

Ceramic Tile Intensive Cleaner HMK R157 1L – Intensive Cleaner for Ceramic Surfaces for Professional Post-Construction Cleaning

Heavily used tile surfaces absorb oil-based contaminants, grease films, old care product residues, or construction dirt over time. Conventional household cleaners are often insufficient for this, especially when coverings need to be prepared before impregnation, after renovation, or as part of professional final post-construction cleaning. HMK R157 Ceramic Tile Intensive Cleaner is a mild alkaline special cleaning concentrate for ceramic surfaces. The product reliably dissolves stubborn dirt layers and is suitable for use on glazed and unglazed tiles, porcelain stoneware, clinker, and comparable ceramic coverings.

Advantages and Product Features at a Glance:

• High yield due to concentrated formula – economical for households, trade, and commercial surfaces
• Suitable for glazed and unglazed ceramic surfaces such as tiles, porcelain stoneware, and clinker
• Removes oily and greasy dirt layers, old care product residues, self-shining layers, construction dirt, and oil films
• Assists in removing light limescale deposits and light cement film
• Polished ceramic surfaces are not attacked when used properly
• Can be used indoors and outdoors, e.g., in bathrooms, kitchens, hallways, patios, commercial and property areas

HMK R157 Intensive Cleaner for Household, Trade, and Commercial Surfaces:

HMK R157 is suitable for all applications where normal maintenance cleaning is no longer sufficient. This includes soiled floor tiles in bathrooms, kitchens, and hallways as well as outdoor tiles, patio slabs, or heavily frequented commercial areas in trade, gastronomy, public spaces, or industry. Due to its concentrated form, the cleaner can be dosed depending on the degree of dirt. This is particularly economical for professional users, as large areas can be cleaned efficiently. At the same time, the cleaner remains gentle on materials: polished ceramic surfaces are not attacked when used correctly.

Practical Benefits of HMK R157 Ceramic Tile Intensive Cleaner:

For tilers, stonemasons, and cleaning companies, thorough cleaning is often the prerequisite for the next step. Before impregnation or protective treatment, residues of oils, fats, construction chemicals, and care products must be completely removed. This is the only way to ensure that the subsequent treatment takes effect evenly. HMK R157 Ceramic Tile Intensive Cleaner can be processed manually or mechanically, making it suitable for smaller renovation areas as well as larger commercial and project surfaces. Especially in the case of porcelain stoneware with a structured surface, intensive cleaning helps to dissolve dirt from recesses and pore areas.

Technical Data of HMK R157 Ceramic Tile Intensive Cleaner:

• Product type: mild alkaline special cleaning concentrate
• Area of application: indoors and outdoors (manual or mechanical)
• Suitable for: glazed and unglazed ceramic surfaces such as tiles, porcelain stoneware, clinker
• Action against: oily and greasy dirt layers, old care product residues, self-shining layers, construction dirt, and oil films

• Note for water vacuums: HMK Z702 Defoamer recommended

Application and Important Practical Tips:

Before application, the surface should be roughly cleared of loose dirt. HMK R157 is diluted with water depending on the dirt and applied evenly. The cleaning solution should take effect for a few minutes but must not dry out. The surface is then processed with a brush, scrubbing brush, pad, or a cleaning machine from the Karl Dahm range. The dissolved dirt residues are rinsed off with clear water. For larger areas, the use of a water vacuum cleaner is recommended; HMK Z702 Defoamer can be used as a foam brake.

A test area should always be prepared before large-scale application. This makes it possible to check how the covering, existing joints, and possible old coatings react to the cleaner. For heavily soiled surfaces, a longer contact time is useful as long as the cleaning solution remains wet. Several short cleaning cycles are often more effective than an excessively high concentration. After deep cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clear water so that no cleaner residues remain on the surface.

Compatibility of HMK R157 Ceramic Tile Intensive Cleaner:

HMK R157 is suitable for ceramic surfaces, glazed and unglazed tiles, and porcelain stoneware. It can be used in private households as well as in the professional tiling, stonemasonry, and cleaning trades. For mechanical cleaning, the intensive cleaner can be combined with suitable single-disc machines, pads, brushes, and wet vacuums. When using a wet vacuum, HMK Z702 Defoamer is recommended. For absorbent or sensitive materials, natural stone, or unknown surfaces, material compatibility should be checked in advance.
