    Black Limestone - Cement stain removal

    As above, alkaline cleaners will generally deal with greases and dirt, you will only need to test one product. Then deal with the remaining cementisiouse contamination . I like the sound of the first cleaner to test -as it states, acid substitute and will deal possibly with the residues you have.

    Black Limestone - Cement stain removal

    The cleaner states to " non acidically "break grout films. grouts contain polymer binders which can be broken by using an alkaline cleaner although still very difficult on textured stone. This is cement! The cleaner can be tested, it will hopefully remove some contamination but I think generally...

    Wet room slate floor tiles flaking

    This could possibly be one of two things, Whitening to an over applied Impregnator . Or water migrating into the edge / face where the Impregnator or grout has failed, this then can migrate into the tile and form a salt/ whitening. Alkaline products will not remove salt trace or fully remove...
