CLEANING AFTER INSTALLATIONCleaning after installation is compulsory when building work has been completed.

Badly performed cleaning after installation or, worse still, failure to perform after-installation cleaning, may

even if this is performed daily.To guarantee excellent cleaning, it is recommended to use a motorised brush with suitable discs.

CEMENT-BASED PLASTER MIXED WITH WATERTo remove residues of cement, grout, plaster, cement-based grout, etc., after-installation cleaning must be performed after 4 or 5 days from installation (to enable the plaster to harden) and in any case within 10 days. After 10 days, cleaning can become very troublesome. Cleaning is performed with special acid

These detergents are easy to retrieve. Some are mentioned in the Table A.

EPOXY ADHESIVESThese must be removed immediately and accurately us-ing a sponge and plenty of water since these adhesives harden very rapidly, even in just a few minutes. The day following after-installation cleaning, perform thorough cleaning with alkaline detergents. Some of these are mentioned in Table B.
