Oil and grease stains on natural stone: A challenging task

Oil and grease stains on natural stone surfaces are often difficult to remove. Natural stone, such as marble and travertine, has a porous structure, allowing grease and oil to penetrate easily into the stone. This makes it hard to completely remove these stains with regular cleaning agents. Additionally, many cleaners can damage the stone due to their acidic or aggressive composition, leading to dull spots, discoloration, or even permanent damage. Especially in kitchens and dining areas where natural stone is frequently exposed to grease and oil, an effective and safe cleaning solution is essential.

Safe and effective cleaning with HMK R155 Intensive Cleaner

HMK R155 Intensive Cleaner provides an excellent solution for removing oil and grease stains from natural stone. This acid-free cleaner is specially developed for calcareous stones like marble, Solnhofen stone, and travertine, but it also works well on tiles and flagstones. HMK R155 not only removes oil and grease stains but also light cement residue, construction dirt, and wax layers without damaging the stone. For best results, dilute HMK R155 with water depending on the level of contamination. For heavy soiling, use a dilution ratio of 1:1 to 1:5, and for light soiling, 1:16 to 1:20. Apply the solution with a mop or soft sponge, let it sit for 10 to 20 minutes (without drying out), scrub the surface, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. Repeat as needed until the stains are completely gone.
