TRIED AND TESTED
Share
White clay is a multi-purpose product in solid form, made mainly from 100% natural clay, totally organic and biodegradable. It’s a powerful grease and polish remover for almost all surfaces, as long as they are not too delicate.
It’s mainly composed of mineral ingredients such as oxide, aluminium or silica, as well as a good percentage of calcium carbonate, soap, water and vegetable glycerine, which give it degreasing properties.
It’s odourless and, being natural, it can be used to treat almost any type of surface. This is because it’s somewhat abrasive, so it not only cleans but also degreases and polishes the areas on which it’s applied. They can be creamier or more solid and some contain lemon.
What is it used for?
- For removing stubborn dirt from terraces, balconies, garages and swimming pools.
- On stained walls, which can save us from having to repaint.
- Also barbecues, iron frying pans and similar, as long as they don’t have a non-stick surface, as it would get damaged.
- White synthetic trainers. Not coloured ones, as it can be too aggressive.
- Antiqued metal and metal kitchen sink, metal extractor hoods, etc.
- It also cleans resin or PVC furniture, plastic toys, car rims or silver items.
Warning
Do not use on chromefittings, patterned crockery, wooden surfaces, coloured products and leathergoods such as shoes or suitcases.
How do you use it?
To obtain good results, you must scrub the surface that needs cleaning with it. On the one hand, this exerts its abrasive action and, on the other hand, it ensures that the soap mixes well with the dirt and dilutes it.
You will need a sponge, which is normally included with the product. Wet the sponge with a little water and wipe over the surface of the white clay stone so that it’s covered with the paste. Then rub the surface with the sponge.
Wait a few minutes for the paste to take effect and finally, rinse the surface that was scrubbed with the sponge using water.
