Harmful Chemicals


First on the list are the usual suspects; solvents like acetone and xylene. These bad boys are the troublemakers for your microcement due to their capacity to break down the latex acrylic base of your microcement surface, leaving behind unsightly damage that's a nightmare to repair. Keep these chemicals stored safely away from to avoid any nasty surprises.

To add on that list are hot oils and cold oils. Yep, both hot and cold oils are on the naughty list when it comes to microcement maintenance. Every once in a while we like to grill up a sizzling pan of bacon or enjoy a refreshing salad with a drizzle of olive oil. But be extra careful to avoid any spills or splatters on your microcement surfaces. These oily offenders can leave behind stubborn stains that'll have you reaching for the cleaning supplies as fast as you can.

Golden Rule on Microcement & Harmful Chemicals


The golden rule is that, when your surface is exposed to these liquids or any other liquids, the faster you clean them, the less likely they are to stain your surface. The moment you spot a spill or splatter on your microcement, spring into action like someone on a mission. Grab your trusty cleaning supplies and tackle that mess head-on, because the faster you clean it up, the less likely it is to leave a lasting mark on your precious surface. And lucky for you, we provide cleaning solutions here. You may check it here.

To summarise, protecting your surfaces from harmful chemicals is all about staying vigilant and proactive. By steering clear of solvents like acetone and xylene, as well as hot and cold oils, and acting swiftly to clean up any spills, you can keep your microcement looking flawless for years to come. Trust me, your future self will thank you for it!
