Process for cleaning stone & ceramic floor tiles:

Each tile was processed individually for test purposes. The tile was placed in the ultrasonic wash tank for a cycle time of 10- 40 minutes depending on contamination. After, the tiles are placed in the rinse tank. This tank contains only tap water and will neutralise any of the cleaning agent (OPTICAL 30) and leftover debris on the tile. To speed up the process a sonic jet tank would be highly recommended. This tank option is lined with powerful jets that will significantly reduce cleaning time.
