Mapei’s UltraCare range provides solutions for every step of floor maintenance, as well as problem-solvers to tackle specific issues. Products are designed for all types of resilient floors, natural stone and tile finishes and can be used in all settings, from domestic to industrial environments. Throughout the range, treatments also benefit from Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) certification and are included within Mapei UK’s Zero Line, with CO2 fully offset in the entire life cycle.*
Ongoing maintenance with UltraCare Multicleaner
For everyday maintenance and deep cleaning, UltraCare Multicleaner is a versatile and highly concentrated pH-neutral solution that can be used at different dilutions. At a low 1:30 dilution, the cleaner can be used to remove cementitious residues and to deep clean natural stone, whilst a 1:200 dilution is used for daily non-rinse, streak-free cleaning. UltraCare Multicleaner is formulated for all types of engineered and natural stone surfaces, as well as glass mosaics, concrete, LVT, PVC, linoleum, resin floors, polished concrete and industrial floors. UltraCare Multicleaner Spray – the ready-to-use format – offers a convenient alternative in a pump spray bottle, ideal for cleaning stone surfaces and splashbacks, as well as worktops, glass, mirrors and shower screens.
Tackling residues, stains & deposits
Stubborn wax and greasy deposits, fixing residues and rust can be difficult to remove from tiles and stone, especially as many natural tiles are sensitive to acids. The UltraCare range includes four products to tackle these issues:
UltraCare HD Cleaner is a concentrated degreaser and deep cleaner for porcelain, ceramic and unpolished natural stone. It quickly removes organic dirt, grease and wax, and can be used to degrease substrates to allow tile-on-tile installations.
Ultracare Acid Cleaner and Ultracare Keranet are formulated to remove cementitious residues and rust marks from porcelain, ceramic and acid-resistant natural stone. The treatments can also be used to remove efflorescence and limescale from these surfaces. Pump spray-format – UltraCare Keranet Easy – is particularly useful for removing cementitious grout residues during fixing, significantly reducing the time to undertake a Builders Clean.
Removing epoxy & maintaining grout
For pristine joints, the range includes UltraCare Epoxy Off Gel and UltraCare Kerapoxy Cleaner. As its name describes, UltraCare Epoxy Off Gel removes fully-cured epoxy residues, whilst UltraCare Kerapoxy Cleaner removes epoxy residues at point of installation, or within 72 hours.
After grouting, UltraCare Fuga Fresca Grout Refresh – a polymeric paint-based treatment – can be applied quickly and easily to protect joints and make routine cleaning easier. It can also be used to change the colour of a cementitious grout joint, or to eliminate irregularities in colour, and is available in 40 shades. For ongoing maintenance, the UltraCare range also includes ready-to-use pump spray UltraCare Grout Cleaner, which deep cleans cement and epoxy grouts.
A solution for silicone seals
To promote a flawless silicone seal, UltraCare Smooth Silicone eliminates ghosting/halos and helps avoid hollows, where dirt and moisture can sit. It’s also ideal in LVT installation, to help achieve a seamless joint around the perimeter of a room.
Removing stains & rust
To tackle stains on existing floors, the range includes UltraCare Rust Remover and UltraCare Stain Remover. UltraCare Rust Remover is a fast-acting, acid-free treatment designed to remove surface and deeply penetrated rust from all types of tile, including acid-sensitive stone. For organic grease and oil stains – including engine and hydraulic oil – UltraCare Stain Remover quickly removes marks from porous surfaces. Both treatments have a thick paste-like consistency that allows targeted treatment and reduces waste.
Alongside Mapei’s UltraCare cleaners, the range also includes a series of UltraCare protectors, designed to meet specific requirements – from colour enhancing and providing water and oil-repellent protection, to protection prior to grouting.
