Tools and Hardware Reviews of StoneTech RVC4-1G Revitalizer Fresh Citrus Tile and Stone Cleaner, 1-Gallon
Customer Review: Next time, try a brush and a little vinegar well diluted.
Summary: 1 Stars
IMHO. . .
In my opinion, this product leaves behind a film that actually *traps* typical dirt and make's it twice as hard to remove unless you use the same product over and over to clean it again, and again, and again, and again, as build-up occurs much faster due to the film's attraction to dirt, especially traffic filth, so buy a case of this stuff and figure your weekends are booked for the next . . .
Preparation is 9/10ths of the job.
....If you haven't installed yout tile yet, you may want to consider the EPOXY grouts, often used on tiled kitchen countertops. No, not the acrylic caulking compound disguised as a grout, but real epoxy.
A much better alternative.
Epoxy is an inert material, and once allowed to cure is impervious to ANY liquid with the exception of industrial solvents[xylene, toulene] that really have no place being anywhere near a kitchen in the first place unless your kitchen is a meth lab or crack house. It does take some finesse to initially apply, and one should address one small area at a time [4sqft] as once this stuff cures [please follow curing directions thoroughly], nothing short of a Hilti rotary hammer will remove it. So unlike typical grouts, you must clean and smooth your joints BEFORE you move on to the next area. Now, if you are hiring out the work, remember that installers HATE epoxy grout[I think I've actually seen one break out in hives at its mere mention], since unlike the very forgiving, very easy to work with but not live with sanded grouts, so they will often try and talk the customer into sticking with traditional grouts and apply this stuff afterwards. You see, they can charge up the wazoo for what is essentially diluted-down poly, and just like sanded grouts, very easy to apply. Which is great since you'll be doing it or paying someone else to do it over and over and over[you get the idea].
Measure twice, cut once.
This product is directed at folks who didn't do the job correctly to begin with and now need to cover-up their mess. But why should Sparky be the only one chasing his tail? Sparky would give it five stars but he can't reach the keyboard.
UPDATE: 8/19/2008
First, I must apologize for not making some of my points clearer at the expense of a tongue and cheek approach: Mia culpa.
This update addresses the sense of some who felt there was little benefit gained by the review and one taking the time to share their thoughts in the "Comments" section.
More to the point: The sealer IS the film, whether it's above the surface or below; which is the whole point of my review. Sorry for not making that clear. Basically, it's like Scotchguard treatments, which do indeed protect from spills, but allows grime to be ground in and adhere to the sealer or Protecter. In the end, it actually makes the substrate more difficult to clean due to the adhesion of the sealer [or protector].
Simply put, sans the tongue and cheek, using these sealers or protectors starts an ever increasing cycle beginning with most contaminents adhering or being ground into the sealer within the substrate/protector making it that much harder to remove grime and that much faster to collect it.
PS. I appreciate all votes, positive or negative, as this means the review got you to THINK and PARTICIPATE. Agreement neither contributes to the process nor does disagreement detract.
Here's to ALL buyers that take the time and effort to THINK, PROCESS and PARTICIPATE! My words are not gospel and skepticism is an invalable attribute!
How on earth do you think ANY company can manage to sell anyone a gallon of "cleaner" for FIFTY BUCKS or a bottle of WATER for _____[fill in the blank]?!?!?!
Some folks are perfectly satisfied to let others do their thinking for them. Without this population, such companies would all but disappear!
