Product Information
Full details
The FILA CR10 Epoxy Cleaner is designed for contractors and homeowners looking to eliminate stubborn epoxy grout residue from hard-to-clean surfaces. Its primary benefit is a high-viscosity formula that clings to vertical surfaces and stubborn stains to dissolve epoxy without harming delicate tiles, though users should note it is strictly intended for non-absorbent materials like porcelain and glazed ceramics.

FAQs
Can I use this on natural stone?
No, this product is specifically formulated for non-absorbent materials like porcelain and glass. It may damage acid-sensitive natural stone.
How long should I leave the cleaner on the surface?
Generally, it should be left on for approximately 30 minutes, though this can vary based on the thickness of the epoxy residue.
Do I need to dilute this product?
No, FILA CR10 is designed to be used undiluted for maximum effectiveness on stubborn epoxy grout.
Is it safe for polished tiles?
Yes, it is safe for most glazed and polished non-absorbent tiles, but always perform a small test patch first.
What tools should I use to apply it?
A brush, spatula, or a large paint brush is recommended to apply the viscous liquid evenly.
Does it remove cement-based grout?
This product is specifically for epoxy residues; other FILA products are better suited for traditional cement-based grout cleanup.
Troubleshooting
Residue is not lifting after one application
Allow for a longer dwell time or repeat the process, as older, more consolidated epoxy may require a second application.
Streaks remain after cleaning
Ensure the surface is rinsed thoroughly with clean water; remaining streaks may indicate residual cleaner that needs more water for neutralization.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the surface is dry and free of loose debris. Because CR10 is formulated for non-absorbent materials, always perform a small test patch in an inconspicuous area before full application to ensure material compatibility. Avoid contact with acid-sensitive materials such as marble or limestone, as the chemistry is optimized for ceramics and porcelain. During application, always wear chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. For storage, keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, dry place and ensure it is kept away from reach of children and pets.
