CTC Cement & Tile Cleaner – Heavy-Duty Industrial Tile Cleaner (5L/15L)
Master the toughest post-construction cleanups with the legendary CTC Cement & Tile Cleaner. Tried, tested, and unconditionally trusted by the Australian construction industry for over 40 years, this incredibly potent acidic cleaner is specifically formulated to attack and dissolve stubborn mineral residues.

Beyond post-construction cleanups, the 'Original CTC' is highly renowned for its exceptional restorative properties. It reacts aggressively with hard minerals, making it the perfect industrial tile cleaner for stripping away heavy lime scale, bore water stains, and embedded rust marks from older, neglected hard surfaces. Designed to be diluted heavily with water for maximum economy, it requires only a short dwell time to activate, drastically reducing physical scrubbing labor. If you demand fast-acting, uncompromising power for site clean-ups and tile restoration, CTC is the undisputed industry standard.

Directions for Use:
Always test a small, inconspicuous patch before starting the full job. Dilute 1 part CTC to 20 parts water. Spread the diluted solution evenly over the area to be cleaned using a mop or applicator. Leave the solution to dwell for approximately one minute. Crucial Step: You must scrub and thoroughly rinse the product off the floor with clean water immediately after. If the product is left to dry on the surface, the dissolved cement will harden again, and the entire process will have to be repeated.
