Stone Care™ products are simple to use for any stone and tile surface such as marble tile, granite counter tops, ceramic tile, granite tile, floor tile, ceramic wall tile, ceramic floor tile, limestone, slate, terrazzo, porcelain tile, quarry tile and even Corian and Formica. SCI also has products for cleaning grout, polishing marble, removing stains, and restoring dull marble surfaces. Stone Care™ products are ideal for kitchen and bathroom use or every part of a home or building.
It is important to understand that generic neutral cleaners are different than neutral stone cleaners. Generic neutral cleaners are predominantly found in the janitorial industry and they are designed to mainly clean soft, nonporous surfaces such as floor waxes and coatings. They just clean the surface.
