FAQs
Can I use Lithofin Care-Sheen on my unpolished travertine floors?
Lithofin Care-Sheen is primarily recommended for polished marble and granite, and for honed surfaces requiring a satin gloss. While it may offer some protection to other natural stone types, its best performance and intended use are on the specified surfaces. Always test in an inconspicuous area first.
How often should I use Lithofin Care-Sheen?
For regular maintenance on surfaces with low wear, use it as part of your wiping water. For touching up dull areas or as an initial treatment, apply as needed. For polished marble, it's recommended after 3-4 washes with Lithofin MN Wash & Clean or Lithofin EASY-CARE.
Is this product suitable for sealing natural stone?
Lithofin Care-Sheen forms a protective film and enhances appearance, but it is not a deep impregnating sealer. It is designed for maintenance and cosmetic improvement of already sealed or polished surfaces.
Can Lithofin Care-Sheen be used on quartz or composite surfaces?
This product is specifically formulated for natural stone like marble and granite. It is not recommended for use on engineered quartz or composite materials as it may not perform as intended or could damage the surface.
What is the coverage rate when used undiluted?
When used undiluted for applications like initial treatment on honed surfaces, the coverage is approximately 20 m² per liter.
What is the coverage rate when used in wiping water?
When diluted and used in wiping water for regular maintenance, the coverage is approximately 200 m² per liter.
Can I use this product outdoors?
No, Lithofin Care-Sheen is formulated and intended for indoor use only.
Troubleshooting
Surface appears streaky after application.
Ensure the product was spread evenly and polished adequately. Wipe away excess product before it dries completely. For future applications, try diluting the product slightly more or using a different application method (e.g., microfiber mop).
Color enhancement is not noticeable.
The surface may require a deeper clean before application. Ensure the stone is fully dry. For very dull surfaces, a second application might be necessary after the first has dried.
Product leaves a white residue.
This can occur if the product is applied too thickly or if there is insufficient polishing. Ensure the product is buffed out thoroughly. Clean the surface with a damp cloth and reapply a thinner, more even coat, buffing as you go.
Little to no protection is evident.
Verify that the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried prior to application. The protective film needs a sound surface to adhere to. Reapply following the instructions, ensuring even coverage.
