Rating of the best cleaning products after repair for 2024

The most troublesome and troublesome cleaning is after renovation work, where ordinary cleaning agents for order will not be able to cope with highly complex dirt, especially if you need to get rid of concrete on the surface. There are various preparations on the market that effectively remove any dirt. However, each tool has its own purpose, suitable for a specific type of coating. In this regard, the question arises of how to choose the right product. Attention is given to an overview of the best preparations for external and internal cleaning after renovation for 2024 with their pros and cons.

General product information - selection criteria

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

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

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

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

Tips for choosing - what to look for

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

Surfactant is an indicator that combined pollution can be cleaned. The fluid can prevent corrosion (inhibitors are sometimes added).

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

Note! Cement is a heavy mineral contamination.

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

If cleaning of plumbing blocks is planned, then:

• to remove old stains, acidic foam formulations containing oxalic acid are used;
• for everyday cleaning of tile, ceramic, earthenware, enamel and other coatings, it is better to use a product that contains orthophosphoric acid;
• antibacterial agents with aromatic additives are used to eliminate unpleasant odors (putrefaction, urine).

Important! Acidic solutions are not suitable for marble surfaces.

Product classification

Based on the above information, several statements can be made 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 of them, then the product is considered universal and suitable for a wide range of dirt and surfaces.

In most cases, low-cost home remedies are used only for internal work. The professional series is suitable for facade work.

Depending on the degree of complexity of the pollution, 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! To work with acidic liquids, protection is always required: gloves, glasses, clothing, depending on the degree of harm.

Where to buy the product - 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 living 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 the online store.

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