Thought I'd try an experiment yesterday.
Over the years I've tried all manner of limestone cleaning products on our kitchen floor, which was never sealed properly when it was laid down some 6 years ago. Nothing has ever worked to my satisfaction - until yesterday.
In the car showroom we use a couple of really powerful cleaning products - TFR, or Traffic Film Remover, and Wheel Cleaning Concentrate. TFR is sprayed on the lower half of cars to loosen road dirt prior to pressure washing them and is made up of a complex mixture of solvents and lower-strength acids - but you have to keep it well clear of any chromed, plastic trim, as it clouds it (if you buy a 2nd hand car with clouded chrome trim, they've been a bit too liberal with the TFR in the valeting process). Wheel Cleaning Concentrate gets the most ingrained dirt off alloys when applied with a spray and agitated with a stipple brush. You wouldn't believe how well these products work on cars.
Anyway, I decided to try them out on our Cotswold stone kitchen floor and the difference is amazing. The Wheel Cleaning Concentrate is somewhat overpowering, unless you're wearing a full breathing apparatus, but the TFR doesn't make me gag or gasp for breath at all..
Hay has now given me a job for today - the kitchen floor and the stone floors of both the bathrooms...
