Ranking of the best cleaning products after repairs for 2022

The most problematic and troublesome cleaning is after renovations, where ordinary cleaning products for order will not be able to cope with the dirt of a high degree of complexity, especially if you need to get rid of the concrete on the surface. There are various preparations on the market that effectively eliminate any dirt. However, each tool has its own purpose, suitable for a particular type of coating. In this regard, the question arises, how to choose the right product. Attention is presented with an overview of the best preparations for external and internal cleaning after repair for 2022 with its pros and cons.

Product Overview - Selection Criteria

In comparison with conventional cleaning products, the content of caustic substances in them is many times less than for the goods of the group under consideration.

Products are classified into three categories: acidic, neutral and alkaline. The first group is used to remove complex building pollution. In order not to make mistakes when choosing, you need to focus on the “pH” indicator - a range of numbers from 0 to 14. Decoding:

• 0-5.5 - acids;
• 5.5-8.5 - neutral substances;
• 8.5-14 - alkalis.

Note! The higher the acidity, the more effective the remedy.

Selection tips - what to look for

Acidic substances get rid of mineral contaminants (for example, rust, lime and calcium deposits, efflorescence and scale). The composition of the product may include one or a whole complex of acids.

Surfactants - an indicator that combined pollution can be cleaned. The liquid can prevent corrosion (sometimes inhibitors are added to the composition).

If you want to get rid of heavy mineral deposits, rust from acid-resistant surfaces, then the pH value should vary between 0-2.

Note! Cement is a heavy mineral contamination.

If it is required to remove lime deposits, rust, residues of dry building mixtures, efflorescence from hard and chrome-plated surfaces, clean phosphorus, faience, brickwork, ceramics, tiles or tiles, then a preparation with a pH of 2-5 is required.

If you plan to clean sanitary blocks, then:

• to remove old stains, foamy acid compositions containing oxalic acid are used;
• for everyday cleaning of tiled, ceramic, earthenware, enameled and other coatings, it is better to use a product that includes phosphoric acid;
• to eliminate unpleasant odors (rottenness, urine), antibacterial agents with aromatic additives are used.

Important! Acid solutions are not suitable for marble surfaces.

Product classification

Based on the above information, you can make several statements that will help you understand which product is better to buy.

There are two categories of products: professional and household series. The average volume for cleaning companies is 5 liters, for home conditions - 500-1000 ml.

If the composition contains one acid, then it is suitable for cleaning specific contaminants, if there are several, then the product is considered universal and is suitable for a wide range of dirt and surfaces.

Budget home preparations are used, in most cases, only for internal work. The professional series is suitable for façade work.

Depending on the degree of complexity of contamination, a solution is made (the proportions are indicated in the instructions). Some models come with a natural function - they can be used in their pure form (rare).

Note! When working with acidic liquids, protection is always required: gloves, goggles, clothing, depending on the degree of harm.

Where to buy goods - the best places

If the tool is selected for professional use, then it is better to purchase it in hardware stores. If the purchase is made for domestic conditions, then as a place of purchase, you can choose a point of sale with construction products or household chemicals, as well as order products in an online store.

Ordering online is the easiest if time permits, and customer reviews will tell you about the effectiveness of the product.
