Concrete / Cement countertops
How to maintain concrete, stucco or Mortex worktops?
FIRST TREATMENT
Concrete and stucco should be protected preventively with an impregnating product to optimally protect the surface against soiling, including the penetration of oils and greases.
Recommended products for this are Akemi Anti Stain Nano (colourless) or Akemi Colour Diluter Transformer Max (colour diluting).
See our handy applicators for homogeneous application and agitation of impregnating product.
CARE
As a daily maintenance cleaner, we recommend Akemi Crystal Clean Spray. This product cleans and degreases, dries quickly and is veil-free. Safe for all materials.
Additionally, use Akemi Triple Effect once a month. This 3-in-1 product cleans, conditions and protects. It supports and supplements the effectiveness of existing impregnations.
CLEAN
To remove grease films, maintenance layers and absorbed food residues, we recommend Akemi Natural Stone Basic Cleaner Spray. Use this powerful cleaner only if your daily maintenance cleaner is not sufficient.
Also use this spray to thoroughly clean the worktop before an impregnation aftertreatment.
PROTECT
A post-treatment with Akemi Anti Stain Nano is best done once or twice a year.
TIPS
- Always follow the instructions on the packaging of maintenance products.
- Concrete/plaster is lime-bound and therefore sensitive to acid.
- Acidic etching stains can be removed with Telum hand sanding pads and Akemi Colour Intensifier.
- Marble can be acid-treated with the coating Akemi Acid Protect. Please contact us for more information.
