Frequently Asked Questions
Can Fila Deterdek Pro be used on all tile types?
Fila Deterdek Pro is suitable for terracotta, porcelain stoneware, glazed ceramic, quarry tiles, and acid-resistant natural stone. It must not be used on polished marble, limestone, travertine, or any material sensitive to acids. Always test on a small area first if the tile type or its acid resistance is uncertain.
How soon after grouting can Fila Deterdek be applied?
Fila recommends applying Deterdek Pro only after the grout has cured sufficiently. The exact timing depends on the grout type, site conditions, and the manufacturer’s recommendations. Following the recommended curing time helps achieve effective residue removal while protecting the grout installation.
Is Fila Deterdek Pro safe to use indoors?
Yes. Unlike traditional acid cleaners such as muriatic acid, Fila Deterdek Pro uses a buffered acid formula that does not emit harmful fumes during normal use. The product contains biodegradable surfactants and is considered safer for indoor application. Standard protective equipment including gloves and eye protection should still be worn, and adequate ventilation is recommended during application.
What dilution ratio should be used for heavily soiled surfaces?
For heavy cement deposits and construction dirt, a 1:5 dilution (1 liter of Fila Deterdek to 5 litres of water) is commonly recommended. Always refer to the latest manufacturer guidelines and technical data sheet for the appropriate dilution for your application.
Does Fila Deterdek Pro need to be sealed after use?
Cleaning with Fila Deterdek Pro prepares the surface for sealing but does not seal it. After cleaning, the surface should be rinsed thoroughly and allowed to dry completely before a protective sealer is applied. Applying a sealer after the post-installation cleaning step protects tiles from future staining, reduces maintenance requirements, and enhances the appearance of the finished surface.
