Lithofin Slate Seal Removal

[Bathfix Bob]

Can I use patio cleaner to get this stuff off?

Water splashing on slate floor has water marked it.
What is the best treatment for a bathroom slate floor?

Yes I didn't read the bottle entirely but the tile shop recommended it.

I think patio cleaners tend to just be acid of varying strengths. I think for this you'll need Lithofin Stain Away. If memory serves right it'll eat through layers of sealer.

Lithofin wax off to strip the patio and remove all the slate seal. As with external use impregnators or colour enhancers only in bathroom / wet room as they will also turn white with water ,moisture contamination, this whitening is none cured , dead seal we will. Need to lift it. Should not have been recommended for this area.

You will generally get 2-3 Sqm per litre to lift this, test first ,1 litre to get per sqmpl

Lithofin stain away , best stripper ever, like all the great products, we had to stop making it 6 years ago, I have two rusty tins left , but there mullard!!! Technical term

Just to clarify, this isn't a patio, its just a small bathroom floor.
So once stripped what do I use then?

Sorry bob, didn't read it properly , I would leave to dry for min 5-7 days after stripping and then , seal with your chosen impregnator, or you could use a colour enhancing impregnator , no topical finishers in these areas.

Bob (lithofin bob) could he use nitromors? I believe you can still buy the proper stuff from trade outlets ie not b&q etc.

I found Nitromors changed there recipe a few years ago and wasn't as good.

 

[Lithofin BOB]

Yes , you could test nitromors, again the good stuff went with new regs around the time we stopped stain away

Thanks guys, so Wax Off and then exactly what product do I need to buy to re seal?
I'm slightly annoyed at my tile shop for recommending slate seal.

You'll need an impregnator, stick with Lithofin and go with Stainstop or alternatively DryTreat Original is also excellent. Saturation is my preferred method.
