Our recommendations for cleaning apartments (chemicals, equipment, equipment)

Cleaning an apartment from dirt always begins with identifying the types of construction stains and the correct selection of products and their concentration to remove construction dirt.

*Complicated construction stains, such as fresh primer stains, construction tile adhesive, two-component construction adhesive, acrylic paint are easily removed and washed with acid-base chemistry, for example Alpha 19 or Alpha 20, the difference between them is that Alpha 20 is best suited for porous types of tiles. It is important to use the concentration correctly and not to overdo it with chemicals, so as not to burn or spoil the top layer of the tile. It is better to work with such chemicals wearing glasses, gloves and respirators.

It is best to wash gypsum dust, putty, and grout using PROBEL chemicals from the PRO-BRITE company, which will clean hard surfaces of dust and create a repulsive environment for dust to get onto the walls.

After construction, windows can be washed with special products that create a dust-repellent film on the windows, allowing them to remain clean for a long time. One of these concentrated products is GL-CRYSTAL SOLUTION, diluted as 1 to 50 or 1 to 40, depending on your needs.

Acetone, turpentine, and paint thinners wash off sealant and greasy technical layer on tiles well. But to completely remove this greasy layer from the tile, you will need to walk over the surface several times.

It is better to remove dust from suspended ceilings using Mister Muscle and a dry cloth. Carefully remove dust from the ceilings without pressing or applying pressure.
