Akemi Stone Cleaner — Water-Based Concentrated Cleaning Agent
AKEMI® Stone Cleaner is a highly concentrated, water-based, slightly alkaline cleaning agent for natural and cast stone. Free of phosphates and built on readily biodegradable surfactants, it strips away the tough residues stone shops and restorers deal with every day — building-material films, wax and self-shine layers, thin concrete haze, oil and grease, soot, rubber, tar, and leftover synthetic paint or plaster. Diluted anywhere from 1:1 to 1:50 with water, it works fast and rinses clean, and once used as directed the treated surface is food-safe.
- Highly concentrated — dilute 1:1 up to 1:50 with water to suit the job
- Removes tough residues — wax, grease, oil, soot, tar, concrete film, paint and plaster
- Phosphate-free with readily biodegradable surfactants
- Food-safe when used as directed — certified to DIN 10516
- Broadly compatible — marble, granite, travertine, terrazzo, tile, and more
