Professional Cleaning FAQ – The Most Important Questions & Answers
Which cleaning products should I use on natural stone and porcelain stoneware?
For natural stone and porcelain stoneware, always use specially formulated, pH-neutral cleaning products. Brands like AKEMI or FINALIT are designed to clean effectively without causing surface damage, discoloration or loss of shine.
Natural stone and porcelain stoneware are sensitive to acidic or highly alkaline cleaners. Using the wrong product can lead to permanent surface damage such as dull spots or color fading. Therefore, it is essential to use pH-neutral stone care cleaners such as those from AKEMI or FINALIT. These products remove dirt and construction residues without attacking the stone structure. For long-term protection and easier cleaning, use a suitable stone sealer or impregnator afterward.
How do I clean my tools properly?
Clean your tools immediately after use to prevent adhesives, cement or resin residues from hardening. Use appropriate cleaners, brushes and sponges for effective results.
Clean tools are crucial for precise and professional work results. Remove residues such as tile adhesive, resin or cement right after finishing your work, as dried materials are far harder to remove and may damage surfaces. Use suitable cleaning products along with sponges, washing pads or joint brushes. Regular cleaning extends tool lifespan and ensures consistent performance.
How do I protect my skin while working?
Apply a protective cream before starting work and clean your skin afterward with mild, professional hand cleaners. Finish with a nourishing hand cream.
Working with cleaners, adhesives and construction materials can stress and dry out the skin. To prevent irritation, cracks and dryness, apply a protective hand cream before you start working. After the job, use skin-friendly hand cleaners to remove dirt without damaging the skin, and then apply a replenishing care cream to restore natural moisture and protection. This routine strengthens the skin barrier and prevents long-term skin stress.
Which products are best for the final cleanup on a construction site?
Use durable cleaning brooms, squeegees, sweeping sets and professional surface cleaners like Acryclean or Epex Clean.
After construction or renovation work, fine dust, residue and surface films often remain. Begin with a general clean using brooms, squeegees or wash sets to remove coarse dirt. Then use professional surface cleaners such as Acryclean or Epex Clean to remove stubborn dirt, adhesive residues or marks. This ensures a spotless, visually clean finish – ideal for handovers or project completion.
How often should I replace sponges or brooms?
Replace sponges when they lose absorbency and brooms when bristles bend or spread. This ensures consistently effective cleaning results.
Cleaning tools wear down naturally. Sponges can lose structure and absorb less water, reducing cleaning performance. Overused broom bristles bend and no longer effectively collect dust. Regular replacement ensures optimal cleaning efficiency and prevents dirt from being spread rather than removed. If tools are used daily, more frequent replacement is recommended.
Are the cleaning products suitable for delicate surfaces?
Yes, if the product is pH-neutral and acid-free. Always test on a small, hidden area first.
Delicate surfaces such as polished marble, sealed wood or glossy porcelain tiles require gentle cleaning. Choose acid-free, pH-neutral cleaners to avoid damage like dulling or discoloration. Always test on an inconspicuous spot to check compatibility before full application. This ensures safe cleaning without risking surface quality.
Can I use the cleaning products on machines?
Yes, many cleaning products can be used on machinery, as long as material compatibility and manufacturer guidelines are followed.
Proper machine and tool maintenance improves lifespan and performance. Many professional cleaners can safely remove dirt, grease and residue from machinery and tools. Ensure that the cleaner used is non-corrosive and suitable for the material. Avoid direct contact with electrical components and always follow usage instructions.
What should I do about heavy cement residue (cement haze)?
Use specialized cement residue removers such as AKEMI or FINALIT and follow up with suitable pads or sponges.
Cement haze often appears after tile or stone installation and is difficult to remove with general cleaners. Specialized cement residue removers dissolve mineral deposits without damaging the surface. Use cleaning pads or sponges to boost effectiveness. Always follow manufacturer recommendations carefully to avoid damaging the stone or tile finish.
How should I store cleaning products properly?
Store cleaning products in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed, and out of reach of children.
To keep cleaning products effective, store them away from heat, direct sunlight and moisture. Always keep containers sealed to prevent evaporation or contamination. Store all cleaning products securely and separately from food. This ensures safety and maintains product quality over time.
Which cleaning tools support me best at work?
For large areas, use cleaning buckets with rollers, squeegees and broom sets. For fine details, use joint brushes and specialty sponges.
Efficient cleaning depends heavily on the right tools. Large floors are best cleaned with wash buckets on wheels, wash boards and floor squeegees, while joint brushes and speciality sponges are ideal for precise detail cleaning. High-quality cleaning tools improve result quality, save physical effort and reduce working time.
What helps against odors or residues after cleaning?
Use odor-neutralizing cleaners or rinse the surfaces multiple times with clean water.
Odors or residue can remain if cleaning products are not completely removed. Use neutralizing cleaners or specialized odor removers to eliminate odors rather than mask them. Alternatively, rinse thoroughly with clear water several times. This ensures hygienic, residue-free and fresh-smelling surfaces.
Are there environmentally friendly or biodegradable cleaning products?
Yes, there are eco-friendly cleaning options. Ask specifically for biodegradable or low-emission products.
Many manufacturers now offer environmentally responsible cleaning products that are biodegradable, skin-friendly and free from harsh chemicals. These products clean effectively while reducing environmental impact. Look for certified eco-friendly cleaning lines or ask your supplier for sustainable alternatives.
Can I improve cleaning results by using warm water?
Yes, warm water often enhances cleaning performance and helps loosen dirt faster – just follow product instructions.
Warm water helps dissolve grease and dirt more efficiently and can increase the cleaning power of many products. However, some specialty cleaners require cold water only, so always check manufacturer guidelines before use. When recommended, warm water makes cleaning quicker, easier and more effective.
