Cleaning and Maintenance:
  • Indoors: Apply Biofin on all internal surfaces, especially in Quarzo-Bianco colors. Cleaning involves simple dusting with a feather duster or a vacuum cleaner with soft bristle brushes. Avoid using acid or chlorine.

This treatment makes the stones and grout waterproof and resistant to stains and atmospheric agents without altering their appearance.
Environmental Awareness: Biopietra is committed to sustainable architecture, emphasizing environmental consciousness and meeting the demands of sustainable construction.
