High ph cleaners are more safe to work with and avoid secondary damage such as over spray or vapor fumes off acid]]> Mon, 07 May 2012 01:09:22 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=165420&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#165420 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161941&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161941 Author: Michael

Yes, the main use of acid is on grout lines. You can use it on natural stone but only if it is already completely matte, like slate. Otherwise, you'll etch away the patina/shine.]]> Tue, 05 Oct 2010 17:14:17 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161941&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161941 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161937&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161937 Author: alexgman

I prefer Alkaline in surface cleaning to acid. Acid sometimes damage the surface. Any way it depends on the flooring material. ]]> Tue, 05 Oct 2010 06:58:34 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161937&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161937 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161893&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161893 Author: prouddadx3

I forgot acids are great for grout lines especially if you use a grout brush since they will take a very small amount of cement off and get you back to new, clean grout.]]> Sat, 02 Oct 2010 13:16:08 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161893&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161893 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161892&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161892 Author: prouddadx3

Stay away from acids with natural stone. We use a bath mat sprayed with an alkaline pre spray to wipe our feet before heading out to another surface like cement. Leaving footprints down the clients sidewalk is bad for business.]]> Sat, 02 Oct 2010 13:14:17 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161892&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161892 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161868&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161868 Author: MR.

What Mark said. In a kitchen, I usually use both: alkaline followed by acid. Most of the time, acid alone is enough. Just be sure to reseal the grout.]]> Sat, 25 Sep 2010 19:50:31 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161832&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161832 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161829&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161829 Author: Mark McMaster

Use a alkaline or degreaser. Then you can follow these chems with an acid if needed]]> Sat, 25 Sep 2010 17:38:14 +0000 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161829&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161829 https://www.kleenkuip.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=6754&PID=161700&title=phosphoric-acid-vers-alkaline#161700 Author: carpetologist

The answer is totally dependent on the soil you are attempting to remove. Restaurant type food grease will respond better to an alkaline. Yet, bathroom tiles that are soap scummy respond better to a mild form of acid. If you are only maintaining then a neutral product is the best.

   

Our Grout Smart has Hydrogen Peroxide in it that adds brilliance and brighten yet is is a very safe product.
