Actichem Crete Clean (AP139.05) is a specialised heavy-duty "safe-acid" concrete, masonry, and grout cleaner designed to remove efflorescence, grout haze, mortar smear, hard water scale, rust stains, and concrete residues without the severe hazards, corrosion risks, and toxic fumes of traditional hydrochloric or muriatic acid.

Crete Clean employs advanced acid-replacement technology that provides aggressive mineral-dissolving power while being safer for applicators, equipment, and surrounding fixtures. It is biodegradable, phosphate-free, and ideal for new construction cleanup and ongoing masonry restoration.

Recommended Applications

  • Removal of efflorescence and mineral salt deposits from brickwork, pavers, and masonry.
  • Cleaning grout haze and mortar residue from ceramic, porcelain, and acid-resistant natural stone tiles.
  • Restoring concrete equipment, mixers, and tools coated in cement splatter.
  • Descaling bore water deposits and rust stains on exterior hard surfaces.
