1. What is GLEAN Anti-Slip Stone Grip Treatment?
GLEAN Anti-Slip Stone Grip is a specially formulated stone and tile treatment designed to increase traction and reduce the risk of slips and falls. It works on porcelain, ceramic, quarry, travertine, and most natural stone surfaces by creating microscopic treads that improve grip without altering the appearance of the floor.
2. How does GLEAN Anti-Slip Stone Grip work?
The treatment gently etches the surface, creating invisible micro-ridges that increase friction underfoot. Once the required level of slip resistance is reached, the treatment is neutralised and rinsed off, leaving a safe, natural-looking surface.
3. Which surfaces can it be used on?
GLEAN Anti-Slip Stone Grip is suitable for a wide variety of surfaces, including:
• Porcelain and ceramic tiles
• Quarry, travertine, and slate
• Natural stone floors
• Brick, concrete, and terrazzo
• Bathroom floors, showers, bathtubs, kitchens, patios, stairways, pool areas, garages, and wet rooms
It is ideal for both indoor and outdoor use in homes, commercial spaces, and high-traffic areas.
4. Will it damage my tiles or floors?
No. The micro-ridges created by the treatment are microscopic and not visible to the naked eye, so your tiles and natural stone remain intact and visually unchanged.
5. How long should I treat my floors?
Treatment time varies depending on the surface type, but most floors can be treated in 5–20 minutes. Check the treated area using a rubber-soled shoe; the shoe should slip less than 25–50mm (1–2 inches). Once the desired grip level is achieved, neutralise the treatment and wash the surface.
6. How do I apply GLEAN Anti-Slip Stone Grip?
1 Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean and free from grease, dirt, or debris. Use a degreaser such as GLEAN Heavy Duty Stone Degreaser if necessary.
2 Application: Shake well and apply generously with a cloth, brush, or sprayer to a dry surface. After 3 minutes, test traction using a shoe. Reapply if needed before the surface dries.
3 Neutralisation: Mix 1–2 tablespoons of baking soda per 5 litres of water and apply to the surface to neutralise the treatment.
4 Rinse & Dry: Wash the floor with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly, and allow to dry.
7. Will it change the appearance of my floors?
No. The product dries clear and does not alter the look of your tiles or natural stone. For very dark or glossy tiles, test a small inconspicuous area first, as slight reduction in shine may occur.
8. Can it be used on sealed surfaces?
GLEAN Anti-Slip Stone Grip is less effective on sealed surfaces. If your floor is sealed, lightly sand the surface or remove the sealant before treatment for optimal results.
9. How do I clean treated surfaces?
For general cleaning:
• Use a mild soap or detergent with brushing or mopping once a week.
• For commercial or high-traffic areas, daily cleaning with a deck brush is recommended to maintain grip.
10. How much coverage can I expect?
Coverage depends on surface porosity and texture, but typical use is:
• 500ml & 1 Litre sizes available, enough for multiple small areas or medium-sized floors.
11. Is GLEAN Anti-Slip Stone Grip safe for indoor and outdoor use?
Yes. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor environments, including wet areas like showers, bathrooms, kitchens, pool decks, patios, and high-traffic commercial areas.
12. How long does it take to work?
The treatment begins working immediately. Most surfaces reach the desired slip resistance in 5–20 minutes, after which the surface is neutralised and washed.
13. Is it safe for children and pets?
Yes, once the treatment has been neutralised, rinsed, and fully dried, the surface is safe for everyday use.
