Starlike Care is a concentrated cleaner with an alkaline pH for removing epoxy residues and haze from floor tiles. Its low viscosity allows for good distribution over large floor areas. The product is water-based and comes in a 1-liter package.
Product & Application
Undiluted, Starlike Care removes aged residues and stains from epoxy grouts such as Starlike Pro, Starlike Crystal, and Starlike Easy. It also removes stains previously left by cement-based grout in dark colors on polished porcelain stoneware.
Starlike Care is the bottle you reach for when the floor is finished and there is still a haze on the tiles. It is thin enough to spread over a large area without you having to scrub.
- All types of ceramic tiles and porcelain stoneware
- Polished and aged stoneware
- Ceramic and glass mosaic
- Natural stone, including polished marble
- Application on floors
Pay attention to which cleaner is suitable for your grout. This line is intended for Starlike Pro, Crystal, and Easy. If you have grouted with Starlike EVO, use Litonet EVO for floors or Litonet Gel EVO for walls.
Substrate & Compatibility
The solution is non-aggressive and can therefore be used on polished marble and on polished or honed stoneware, without affecting or dulling the surface. Wait until the grout has sufficiently hardened — usually 24 hours at +20 to +25 °C — before cleaning.
- Suitable for all types of tiles, mosaic, and natural stone
- Fresh residues require less working time than dried-in ones
- Also usable as a degreaser: dilute it to 30% in water.
- Strong degreasing and wax removal properties
Before use, cover everything that should not come into contact with the cleaner: doors, window frames, rubber seals, furniture, faucets, and metal or PVC profiles.
Application
Shake the bottle well before use. Pour the undiluted product onto the surface and spread it evenly with a pad or brush. Let it act for 10 to 15 minutes, then rub the surface with a white felt pad; on large surfaces, this can be done with a single-disc machine with a white pad. Mechanical rubbing during the working time significantly facilitates removal.
- Use undiluted for epoxy residues
- Apply between +5 °C and +35 °C
- Working time 10 to 15 minutes
- Wear protective clothing and follow the label instructions
- Change rinse water regularly
Absorb the dirty solution with a sponge, squeegee, or wet vacuum, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a clean cloth. Do not let the rinse water dry — this will cause stains to reappear. If residues are still visible after rinsing, repeat the treatment in the same manner.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I have to wait after grouting? Wait until the grout has sufficiently hardened — usually 24 hours at +20 to +25 °C — before cleaning. The product works faster on fresh residues; dried-in residues require a longer working time.
Can this be used on marble and natural stone? Yes. The solution is non-aggressive and, according to the technical sheet, can also be used on polished marble and polished or honed stoneware, without damage or dullness.
Can I also use it as a general degreaser? Yes. Dilute it to 30% in water. This will remove grease, old organic deposits, and wax from both natural and artificial surfaces.
The stains reappear after rinsing — how is that possible? Usually because the rinse water has dried on the tile. Actively absorb the water and dry with a clean cloth instead of letting it evaporate.
