Is acid good for cleaning mosaic floor? I use acid quite frequently to clean the floor. Is it a good way?

Question

My floor is getting damaged. Should I stop using acid? What is the best way to clean mosaic floor?

Answer 1

Do not use acid.

I would recommend wiping the area with fresh water a few times to remove residue, then using Scrubbing Bubbles to Clean. Rinse again, and let dry overnight, then apply a sealant to your mortar or check and see if there is one that you can use over the stone as well.

Acid eats away at materials, so every time you clean with acid, you are leaving more pores in the surface to become clogged with dirt.

For most floors, use Lysol, or some elbow grease and warm water.

Answer 2

Acid can be use to clean mosaic floor but it must dilluted with water. The dillution is 1:80. It means, one part of acid and 80 parts of water or one cup of acid mix with 80 cups of water. If the solution is strong, it will damage the flooring.

Answer 3

Well is better if u go to the shop and ask them I need mosaic floor and tell them I have been using the acid product before and it has some damage and say could u please tell me which product is good for cleaning floor? They might help u and give u the good one u need it and good luck for it.

Answer 4

Do not use Acid at all. This will spoil the mosaic. Vim liquid or any other soap should be good enough.

Answer 5

omg NO! it will eat away at your grout. What kind of stone is it? Mosaic is just a term for broken tile... so is the tile natural stone? ceramic? NEVER use anything harsh like that on any natural stone either--- it will deteriorate the stone and ruin it forever---only use natural cleaners that are ONLY for natural stone...

Answer 6

yes acid will eat the top layer off tile, just use a good soap. type cleaner.
