I don't care if it has a pH  of 6!!!   It is an acidic cleaner and if you use it on any calcite tile you will acid etch them   Additionally their website shows it as a pH value of 2???

1.  Pre wet the tiles so that the grout is soaking wet.
2.  Clean the floor using preferably a Mono Rotary Scrubber fitted with a soft to medium brush (Failing that you can do it the hard way with a grout brush) coupled with a high alkaline cleaner diluted 3:1.
3.  Allow to dwell then extract with a wet vacuum.
4.  Rinse and extract again.
5.  Seal the grout if required with a penetrating sealer!

Never use acid unless you have to!!!

Thanks for the info Kevin.

To clean floor tiles, mix any high-quality oxygen bleach with warm water and stir it until it dissolves. Then pour the solution onto the floor tile so the grout lines are flooded with the solution. It's best to apply the oxygen-bleach solution to dry grout so it soaks deeply. Let the solution sit on the grout for at least 15 minutes. If it completely soaks into the grout, add more solution, making sure there is always plenty of the cleaning liquid on the grout.    source: http://wapo.st/1ns3bcz  or you can contact http://www.gleem.co.uk/

Kevin i see you are very quick to ridicule people on this section, yet when i ridiculed your recommendation for using sodium hydroxide to deep clean Altro safety flooring you had a hissy fit, is it one rule for you on this section and shag everybody else.
