StoneTech Restore Acidic Cleaner – 1 Gallon Concentrate, Not for Marble or Limestone
StoneTech Restore Acidic Cleaner is an acidic concentrate supplied in a 1 gallon bottle that dilutes from 1:1 for heavy duty work down to 1:16 for light cleaning, and removes dirt, hard water deposits, efflorescence and rust from tile, acid-resistant stone, masonry and grout.
Key Features
- Concentrate: 1:1 heavy duty at pH below 1, 1:4 medium duty at pH 1.2, 1:16 light duty at pH 1.4.
- Gallon/128oz (3.8L) bottle, 4 per case.
- Approved substrates are ceramic tile, porcelain tile, granite, slate and sandstone.

- Removes dirt, hard water deposits, efflorescence and rust from tile, acid-resistant stone, masonry and grout.
Who Is This For?
Tile contractors clearing grout haze, efflorescence and hard water scale off ceramic and porcelain installations, and restoration crews stripping mineral deposits from granite, slate and sandstone. The gallon concentrate suits a crew that mixes to strength on site rather than buying ready-to-use bottles.
What This Is Not For
Do not use it on marble, limestone or travertine, on colored concrete or on dyed granite: at heavy-duty dilution the pH is below 1 and an acid-sensitive stone will etch. For those surfaces use the Laticrete StoneTech Revitalizer Cleaner & Protector, which is published for marble, limestone and travertine among other stone.
