QUESTION: Safety and chemistry: how to choose products for different surfaces?

Choosing cleaning products for various types of surfaces is a delicate process that requires taking into account materials, engineering features of the finish, and strict adherence to the sequence of repair and cleaning work. The professional approach to cleanliness states: first, you must ensure safety and deal with engineering communications, waterproofing, and ventilation quality, and only then move on to decorative coatings and final polishing. This method minimizes hidden problems, damage to expensive materials, and premature wear of plumbing or furniture.

Before applying any new product to a natural stone countertop, parquet, laminate, or delicate matte paint, be sure to test it on an inconspicuous area of the surface. Apply a drop of the product for a couple of minutes, rinse with water, and make sure that the coating has not changed color, become cloudy, or lost its protective gloss. For each zone of the house, use specialized chemistry: neutral gels for delicate floors, acidic formulations for removing limescale on tile, and alkaline solutions for breaking down grease on the kitchen backsplash.
