To remove organic stains such as coffee, tea, a fungus you can use the chemical that contains alkaline (Ph > 10). We recommend chemical FilaPS87 to remove the organic stains. FilaPS87 is excellent for basic cleaning of natural stone that is sensitive to acid. This FilaPS87 also ideal for basic cement surfaces.
When diluted, FilaPS87 cleans and removes grease from dirty floors in natural stone. When undiluted FilaPS87 will remove stubborn stains from natural stone tiles.
