pFOkUS is a leading hard surface restoration products manufacturing company in the US. With years of experience, they have carefully manufactured a range of home improvement products that can help you clean, restore and seal your floorings, glass surfaces, grout, walls, pools, tubs and even countertops. But let us first see what are the problems these surfaces face and how pFOkUS products comes to their rescue.
Problem with Deep-Rooted Stains, Etching and Mold
Natural stone tile used in floorings, walls and countertops is porous. It tends to absorb water into its pores. Mold loves to breed in damp places and finds favorable circumstances inside the tile.
Slowly, this mold spreads on the entire surface, ruining its beauty and reeking of a bad odor. Mold also causes health hazards such as respiratory issues and eye problems.
Grout used to join two tiles is a cement and sand mix that is porous too. It also absorbs water and tends to get stained and moldy.
Stains also get absorbed easily into these pores becoming more dense and stubborn as they penetrate deeper.
Acidic cleaners often leave etching marks on tile.
Soap scum and hard water stains ruin the integrity of shower tile.
Countertops get stained with oil stains and start looking yellow and dull over time.
Solution
The one-stop solution to all these problems is our heavy-duty cleaner - Imperia Deep Clean, which penetrates deep within the surface and eliminates all the dirt and grime at the root level. Unlike other acidic cleaners which damage the tiles, Imperia Deep Clean is alkaline and hence gentle on the surface. It does not want to damage the integrity of the surface. This tile cleaner does not leave any residue or any chemical odor. It is extremely cost-efficient as it comes in a concentrated bottle and can be diluted upto 1 gallon.

Problems with Chips, Cracks and Caulking
Tile sometimes gets cracked or chipped due to the impact of heavy furniture. This leaves gaping holes and pits, which can harm anyone walking barefoot on the sharp edges.
Grout also gets cracked or goes missing in places. Missing grout not only looks bad, but also tends to stagnate water in its crevices, leading to germ breeding.
Caulk used to seal shower corners tends to peel off or crack in some time. This forces you to go in for re-caulking again and again. Moreover, the cracked caulk tends to accumulate water in its crevices, leading to mold breeding.
Solution
The one-stop solution to all these problems is our powerful epoxy resin adhesive - Sentura. It is two part pigmented flexible solvent based epoxy/resin, formulated with a 1200psi adhesion, ensures that it never pops out from the surface. It protects the floor from bacteria and stains which breed in shower corners. Sentura can be shaded with Caponi and used for sealing corners. Sentura is also used to repair cracked tile and grout.
Problem with Recurring Stains and Mold
Now once you have deep-cleaned and sanitized your tile and grout, it does not mean that stains will not occur again.
As your tile are constantly exposed to water splashes, oil leaks, stains, food and beverage spills and dust accumulation, stain formation is inevitable.
You have to keep on cleaning your surfaces again and again to prevent such occurrence.
Solution
The one-stop solution to these issues is to seal your grout and tile. Once you seal your surfaces with water-proof products, a barrier is formed on the surface, preventing water absorption and subsequent staining or mold breeding.
Sealing Grout

Caponi also used as pool grout sealer as it can make the grout waterproof.
Sealing Tile
If you are looking for a permanent solution for your flooring and countertops, then Celine is the best.

Celine not only shuts all the pores to prevent the occurrence of stains and mold but also adds a slight sheen to the surface.
