Lithofin KF Mildew-Away is specifically formulated to effectively remove black mould and mildew spots, as well as discolouration caused by plants. It works quickly and efficiently, and through its preventative properties inhibits further growth for a long time. You can use it to remove mould from cement and silicone grouting, from tiles and plastic parts in sanitary areas, as well as to remove mould and algae from masonry, concrete, natural stone and other similar surfaces. We highly recommend testing in an inconspicuous area first. Not for use on polished marble or sensitive glazed tiles and enamel.

Impregnators, such as Lithofin MN Stain Stop, do not form layers on the surface of the stone. Instead the active ingredients penetrate into the capillaries and form a durable film inside them. Since there is no surface coating, and the stone's appearance generally remains the same. The slip properties of the stone are unchanged and the treatment should last many years as it will not be worn away. Surface or topical sealers, such as Lithofin MN Slate Seal, form a protective film over the surface of the stone. This film always produces some degree of sheen and will reduce the slip resistance of the surface. Surface products will need to be maintained as they wear down and will occasionally need fully removing and re-applying.
No, the impregnator needs to be applied to the face and edges of the tile before grouting (on new installations) to ensure that there will be no staining from the grout which can lead to discolouration (so-called 'picture framing'). Tiles must be absolutely dry before impregnating. Once grout has been applied, reseal for maximum water and stain resistancy.
Ideally, after installation, once the tiles are clean, fully dry and prior to grouting. This will seal the sides of the tile as well. Applying at this point will aid the removal of grout residues later and stop any possible staining or picture framing from the grout pigment or moisture. A further application can be made after grouting to seal the grout lines as well.
Lithofin Algex can be used to remove algae and will act as an inhibitor to help prevent re-growth.
Lithofin MN Easy-Clean spray is the most appropriate regular cleaner as it will protect and maintain the sealant.
If you are using Lithofin MN Colour Intensifier to enhance the colour of your stone, this should be applied before the Lithofin MN Stain Stop.
