Actichem Tile & Grout Restore (Low-pH Cleaner) - 5L

Execute heavy-duty hard surface restorations and post-construction cleanups safely with Actichem Tile & Grout Restore. The removal of severe grout haze, cement smears, hard water scale, and mineral efflorescence traditionally requires highly aggressive, fuming hydrochloric acids that degrade surrounding infrastructure and pose significant OH&S risks. This professional-strength low-pH tile and grout cleaner utilizes controlled, advanced acidic technology. It delivers the uncompromising mineral-dissolving power of traditional mineral acids, while providing a vastly safer, more manageable operational profile for commercial contractors.

Engineered explicitly for builders' cleans and large-scale washroom restorations, Tile & Grout Restore penetrates deep into porous grout lines to eradicate stubborn alkaline residues and calcium scale without excessively damaging the underlying masonry. Highly economical, it can be diluted from 1:10 for severe restorative scrubbing, down to 1:100 for routine maintenance descaling. This 5-Litre commercial descaling compound is an indispensable asset for tile layers, restoration specialists, and facility maintenance teams managing extensive ceramic and porcelain surfaces.

Ideal For:

  • Post-Construction (Builders Clean): Rapidly dissolves the dull, white grout haze and stubborn cement smears left behind on newly laid ceramic and porcelain tiles, restoring perfect optical clarity.
  • Commercial Washroom Restoration: Aggressively attacks and breaks down severe calcium scale, hard water deposits, and uric acid buildup in neglected showers and public urinals.
  • Outdoor Tiled Areas & Patios: Highly effective at treating the unsightly white mineral salts (efflorescence) that bloom on outdoor quarry tiles, terracotta, and retaining walls after heavy rain.

Key Features & Operational Benefits:

  • Controlled Low-pH Technology: Operates at a highly acidic pH (1.0 – 1.5) to aggressively dissolve alkaline cement and mineral scale, while significantly reducing the fuming and corrosive hazards of standard hydrochloric acid.
  • Grout Haze & Cement Removal: Chemically reacts with installation residues, turning hardened cement and grout smears into a soft slurry that can be easily scrubbed and rinsed away.
  • Calcium & Scale Eradication: Instantly breaks down heavy mineral deposits caused by hard water, making it exceptional for restoring neglected commercial shower blocks and aquatic centers.
  • Highly Economical Dilution Range: Provides exceptional commercial yield; dilutable from 1:10 for heavy, localized restorations, to 1:100 for large-scale, light-duty maintenance cleans.

  • Brand: Actichem
  • Product Name: Tile & Grout Restore

  • pH Level: 1.0 – 1.5 (Highly Acidic)

What is the primary use of Tile & Grout Restore?

It is a heavy-duty, acidic restoration cleaner used primarily to dissolve alkaline mineral deposits. This includes removing grout haze and cement smears after new tiles are laid, or dissolving severe hard-water scale (calcium) and efflorescence from old tiles.

How is this safer than standard Hydrochloric acid?

While it provides the same heavy-duty dissolving power, this advanced low-pH formulation produces significantly fewer toxic, choking fumes than raw hydrochloric acid, making it much safer to use indoors during bathroom renovations or 'builders cleans'.

Can I use this to clean grease and fat off my kitchen tiles?

No. Acids do not clean grease or oil; they clean mineral scale. If your tiles are dirty from cooking grease or heavy foot-traffic dirt, you need an alkaline cleaner like 'Actichem Tile & Grout Cleaner LF'.

Is it safe to use on Marble or Limestone?

Absolutely NOT. Because this product is highly acidic (pH 1.0), it will instantly burn, etch, and permanently damage acid-sensitive natural stones like marble, limestone, travertine, and polished concrete. It is strictly for ceramic, porcelain, and quarry tiles.

How do I dilute this product?

For severe restorative cleaning (heavy cement smears), dilute at 1:10 with water. For light grout haze or routine maintenance descaling, it can be diluted up to 1:100. Always pre-test your dilution on an inconspicuous area.

How do I apply it?

Apply the diluted solution via a mop or sprayer. Let it sit for a few minutes to react with the scale (do not let it dry). Agitate the area with a stiff brush or rotary scrubber, then rinse the floor thoroughly with clean water to neutralize the acid.

Can it be used to clean pool surrounds?

Yes, it is highly effective at dissolving the white calcium and mineral efflorescence that frequently blooms on the tiles and masonry surrounding commercial and residential swimming pools.

Do I need to wear PPE when using this product?

Yes. This is a highly acidic commercial chemical. Operators must strictly wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, boots, and safety goggles during application and rinsing.

Do you offer trade pricing for tile layers and builders?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides volume pricing and trade accounts for construction companies, tile layers, and commercial restoration cleaners. Contact us to establish your account.
