In humid or poorly ventilated areas, mould can occur. Our Mould Remover for Silicone Joints Art. No. 11966 (250 ml) reliably eliminates mould and mildew from silicone joints and tile gaps – for a hygienic finish.
AKEMI has a long-standing reputation for premium cleaning, care and stone treatment solutions:
FINALIT offers high-end solutions for deep cleaning and advanced surface protection:
Sealing should be carried out only after the adhesive and grout have completely hardened. Depending on temperature and material structure, this can take several days or longer. Applying the sealer before the first use creates a deep, long-lasting protective barrier that prevents dirt, moisture and oils from penetrating the stone or tile. This keeps natural stone, porcelain stoneware and ceramic surfaces easier to maintain and resistant to staining.
The durability of a sealing treatment varies based on the area of application, frequency of use and cleaning habits. Surfaces exposed to heavy wear, such as kitchen floors or outdoor areas, may require re-sealing sooner than lightly used interior surfaces. On average, the protective effect remains effective for 1 to 5 years. Regular gentle cleaning helps extend the lifespan. When water absorption increases, a renewal should be applied.
Different surfaces such as natural stone, porcelain stoneware, marble or engineered stone react differently to cleaning products and sealers. Some products contain acids or solvents that may harm sensitive materials. For this reason, it is essential to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and test on a small, hidden area first. This helps prevent surface dulling, staining or etching.
Natural stone is porous and can quickly absorb oils and greasy substances. Regular household cleaners are usually not powerful enough to remove these stains completely. Products like AKEMI Intensive Cleaner (Art. No. 12137) or FINALIT No. 1 (Art. No. 11168) are formulated to dissolve and lift oil residues from within the stone structure. For stubborn stains, repeated treatment may be necessary to restore an even appearance.
Epoxy residue often appears after grouting with reaction resin mortar. This residue cannot be removed using regular cleaning agents. Epex Clean (Art. No. 11242) is specifically designed to break down epoxy film without damaging the surface. The sooner the product is applied after installation, the easier the residue is to remove, as epoxy becomes harder and more resistant over time.
Color enhancers are used to improve and highlight the natural color and grain of stone surfaces. However, they only provide visual enhancement and do not offer full protection against stains, moisture or daily wear. For complete surface care, a color enhancer should be used together with a separate impregnating sealer to ensure lasting surface protection.
Limescale and cement haze frequently appear in bathrooms or after grouting work. Products such as AKEMI Cement Film Remover (Art. No. 11257) or FINALIT No. 9 (Art. No. 11170) effectively dissolve mineral deposits. These cleaners contain acid and are therefore only suitable for acid-resistant surfaces like porcelain stoneware or granite. Do not use them on marble, limestone or polished stone surfaces, as they can cause etching or dull spots.
