DIY Surface Care Products
Professional surface care products made simple for DIY users, homeowners and property maintenance. This category includes specialist cleaners for stone, porcelain, ceramic tiles, grout, glass, stainless steel, patios, bathrooms, kitchens, garages and everyday floor and hard surface care.
Whether you need to clean a sealed floor, remove limescale from natural stone, clear grout haze after tiling, deep clean dirty tiles, remove grease from a garage floor or restore clarity to shower glass, our DIY range gives you practical products with professional performance.
Choosing the correct cleaner is important. Some floors, such as marble, limestone and travertine, are sensitive to acidic cleaners and can be surface damaged by the wrong product. Others, such as porcelain, ceramic, granite, quartzite and exterior tiles, may need acidic cleaning product to remove residue, grime or build-up.
Always test first in a small, inconspicuous area prior to full application to confirm suitability and finish.
DIY Surface Care FAQs
What should I use for everyday floor cleaning?
For regular floor cleaning, use FLOOR CLEANER.
FLOOR CLEANER is a pH-neutral daily floor cleaner for stone, porcelain, ceramic, marble, limestone, travertine, granite, cement, resin agglomerates and other hard surfaces.
It is ideal for sealed floors because, when used correctly, it will not attack the sealer and does not leave waxy residue or films on the surface. This helps keep the floor clean without creating build-up over time.
At the correct dilution, FLOOR CLEANER does not normally require rinsing, making it a simple and effective choice for routine DIY floor maintenance.
What should I use for quick everyday cleaning around the home?
For everyday surface cleaning, use CLEAN 360.
CLEAN 360 is a ready-to-use neutral cleaner for quick cleaning of hard surfaces such as stone, porcelain, ceramic, quartz, glass, steel, worktops, tables, splashbacks and general household surfaces.
It is useful when you want a simple spray-and-wipe cleaner for daily marks, fingerprints, light dirt and general maintenance without using aggressive chemicals.
How do I remove limescale from marble, limestone or natural stone?
For limescale and watermarks on sensitive natural stone, use CIAO CAL.
CIAO CAL is a neutral limescale remover designed for surfaces where normal acidic limescale removers may cause damage. It is suitable for marble, limestone, travertine, porcelain, ceramic, granite, quartz, steel and glass.
It is a good choice for bathrooms, showers, taps, vanity tops, stone tiles and wet areas where limescale builds up but the surface needs gentle treatment.
What should I use for heavy limescale on shower glass?
For shower glass, use Glass BFF.
Glass BFF is a glass limescale remover designed for shower screens, glass panels, mirrors, windows and glass splashbacks. It helps remove stubborn limescale, hard water marks and soap residue from glass surfaces.
It also leaves a water-repellent effect, helping water run off the glass more easily and making future cleaning easier.
Glass BFF is for glass surfaces. Always protect nearby acid-sensitive materials such as marble, limestone and travertine.
What should I use for greasy kitchen floors?
For grease, oil, rubber marks, heavy dirt and traffic build-up, use DEEP DEGREASER.
DEEP DEGREASER is a concentrated alkaline cleaner for deep cleaning porcelain, ceramic, natural stone, concrete, resin floors, garages, workshops, patios, kitchens and other washable hard surfaces.
It is useful where normal cleaning is not enough, especially on floors affected by grease, tyre marks, rubber transfer, old residues or ingrained dirt.
After deep cleaning, rinse the surface thoroughly with clean water to remove loosened dirt and product residue.
How do I remove cement residue or grout haze after tiling?
For cement residue, grout haze, adhesive films, mineral dirt and efflorescence after tiling, use CEMENT REMOVER 2.0.
CEMENT REMOVER 2.0 is designed for post-installation cleaning on acid-resistant surfaces such as porcelain, ceramic, granite, terracotta, clinker and acid-resistant natural stone.
Do not use it on marble, limestone, travertine or other acid-sensitive surfaces, as acidic cleaners can damage these materials.
What should I use for old build-up or dull film on tiles?
For old maintenance residue, surface film, ingrained dirt and dull build-up on acid-resistant tiles, use TILE CLEANER.
TILE CLEANER is a slightly acidic deep cleaner for porcelain, ceramic, granite, quartzite, sandstone, terracotta and other acid-resistant surfaces.
It is useful when tiles look dull because of old cleaning products, residue, grout haze, sealant film or dirt sitting in the surface texture.
Do not use TILE CLEANER on marble, limestone, travertine or other calcium-based stone.
How do I remove epoxy grout residue?
For epoxy grout residue, synthetic residue, sealant film or epoxy haze, use EPOXY CLEANER.
EPOXY CLEANER is an alkaline cleaner designed to remove residues and films left from epoxy-based grouting, sealing or installation work.
It can be used for end-of-installation cleaning and also for older epoxy residues that were not removed properly at the time of installation.
Which cleaner is safest for sealed floors?
For sealed floors, regular maintenance should usually be done with a pH-neutral cleaner such as FLOOR CLEANER.
Because it is pH neutral and does not leave waxy residue, it is ideal for routine cleaning of sealed stone, porcelain and tiled floors. Using the wrong cleaner can strip, dull or weaken some sealers over time.
If the floor needs heavier cleaning, use the correct deep cleaner first, rinse well, allow the surface to dry, and then return to FLOOR CLEANER for regular maintenance.
Which products should I avoid on marble, limestone and travertine?
Do not use acidic cleaners such as CEMENT REMOVER 2.0 or TILE CLEANER on marble, limestone, travertine or other acid-sensitive stone.
For limescale on these surfaces, use CIAO CAL. For everyday cleaning, use FLOOR CLEANER or CLEAN 360.
Can DIY users use these products?
Yes. These products are suitable for DIY users when the correct product is chosen for the surface and problem.
Always read the instructions, dilute where required, test first, protect nearby sensitive surfaces and rinse properly after using deep cleaners. If you are unsure which product is right for your stone, tile, glass or floor, contact AK Surface Solutions for advice before ordering.
