Save 90% using Concentrate versus Ready-to-Use Cleaners. Whether servicing a small hotel or damp mopping a large floor area, it makes economic sense to purchase concentrate and let down in water on the job. Better for your pocket book, better for the environment, and better for your stone.
1.5 to 2 ounces for a gallon of cleaner to damp mop your floor. A 5-Gal Pail of concentrate can make 80 gallons or 320 quarts of ready-to-use cleaner. An exceptional value, and a logical companion product to your ready-to-use cleaner.
A half ounce of concentrate is all you need to refill a quart spray bottle of ready-to-use concentrate.
Designed for regular cleaning of marble, granite, travertine, slate, terrazzo, concrete and other types of natural and man made floors.

Eliminating oils and debris from your floor’s pores allows your surface to shine with all of its natural beauty.
For extra protection use a MARBLELIFE Sealer. MARBLELIFE’s InterCare Cleaner works well on all types of natural and manmade floor surfaces as well as finished wood, glass and metal.
CONVENIENT & ECONOMICAL
For your convenience and economical value, MARBLELIFE’s InterCare Cleaner comes Concentrated in this Easy-To-Use Tip-n-Measure Gallon jug.

For Commercial use in walk behind scrubber, use 32 ounces per 15 gallons of water.
MARBLELIFE Grout Sealer is a fantastic combination of the strongest features of a superior quality sealer, without the negative features of many popular sealers. For you technical folks, MARBLELIFE Grout Sealer is both a hydrophobic and oilophobic,fluoropolymer impregnating sealer. Simply put, it’s an ultra high quality sealer that penetrates into the grout and repels both water based and oil based items. This is healthy for your grout, provides breathability, is durable, long lasting and provides superior sealing protection.
Additionally, it is easy to use and low odor compared to most solvent based sealers that have strong VOC’s. It penetrates into your grout, providing protection under the surface. It adheres a safe, durable, clear polymer material into the pores of the grout, which keeps staining materials from entering and staining the grout. It also helps keep out unhealthy bacteria, germs, oils and dirt which are not good for your grout or your health. As an added feature, MARBLELIFE Grout Sealer helps make cleaning quicker and easier. Moreover, it is easier to use than other solvent based sealers allowing virtually anyone to apply a quality application without streaking.
It is highly recommended that before applying a sealer, that you do a Deep Cleaning of your grout. This gets the oils and dirt out of the pores which keeps them from being sealed in and allows the sealer to penetrate better into all the grout’s pores.
It is recommended before applying a sealer that you first do a deep cleaning as detailed in the above “Deep Cleaning” sections. After deep cleaning, we recommended that you allow the grout to dry for at least a few hours before proceeding with applying a sealer.
STEP 2: Wall Grout – Wet & Dry
After you have cleaned your grout and it has dried, if in a shower proceed with this step. If you are cleaning floor grout, skip this step and proceed to Step 3.
Using a small sponge or a sponge stain brush, blot the sealer into the grout joints of the tiled wall. The objective is to saturate the grout with the sealer and allow the sealer to completely dry in the grout. As sealer gets on the tile, simply buff off so that the tiles remain dry. If sealer dries on the surface of the tile, re-wet the dried sealer with Marblelife Grout Sealer and rub out dried sealer, then buff dry.
The Sealer will not hurt the tiles. Since the tiles most likely have a backed non-porous surface, the sealer can’t soak into the tiles and will dry to a film on the surface which can be promptly removed as described above.
Step 3: Floor Grout – Pour On & Soak
After your tile and grout surface is clean and dry, and if in a shower the walls are done, pour Marblelife Grout Sealer directly into the grout joints and allow to dry. If any gets on the tiles or other surfaces, simply wipe off. If sealer is allowed to pool and dry on hard surfaces, it will cause a residue. If this occurs re-wet the residue with Marblelife Grout Sealer and rub residue off, then buff dry. Once the sealer in the grout is dry you are done. Allow 72 hours for the sealer to fully cure.
Things to Keep in Mind:
If you have epoxy grout, you will not need to apply a sealer, as epoxy grouts are non-porous. While this does not mean they cannot be stained, or discolored, it does mean that a sealer is not required. Similarly if you have an acrylic-modified grout here, again an additive has been added to make the grout non-porous obviating the need for a sealer. Both of these are rare cases, with most floors being installed with either a sanded or non-sanded cementitious grout which will indeed require a grout sealer.
Other Notes:
If your grout is stained and you are struggling to clean it, give MARBLELIFE a call. More than likely the original seal has failed, dirt has penetrated below the surface of the grout where it is easier to clean, and you may need a professional assessment and service to restore the clean look you want before sealing it in.

Addressing Shower Mold in Marble and Tile Showers.
The biggest issue in dealing with mold in a marble or stone shower, is that you can’t use the typical aggressive products designed for killing mold because they kill your stone shower as well. Stone showers are beautiful and have wonderful character. Keeping them looking that way means that you must be very careful with the products you use, so that you don’t actually cause damage. Vinegar, masonary cleaners, hard water removers are all acidic and can etch marble, travertine, limestone and concrete, and will remove seals from stone and grout. This means all cleaners need to be non-acidic, at a minimum.
Mold and Mildew Management
Mold likes to live in a dark, warm, moist environment with an ample food source of organic material. This makes a shower a nearly ideal spot for mold to grow. The small pores of natural stone and grout are great places for mold to live and avoid your cleaning efforts. Most cleaning products limit themselves to addressing what is on the surface. Porous materials like stone and grout need a little help breaking the water tension that would normally leave a cleaner on the surface. MARBLELIFE Mold & Mildew Stain Remover is formulated to be stone-safe and to break water tension to penetrate and flush stone and grout pores.
To effectively remove the mold stains from your stone shower, you need a product that is both safe for your stone and able to penetrate into the pores of the stone and grout to remove the visible and hidden mold stains at their source.
Freshness Matters
Mold and Mildew Stain Removers tend to lose their effacy with exposure to light and time.
As such, this is a purchase area where buying in bulk to save can negatively impact cleaning performance over time.
Instead consider right-sizing your purchase and purchasing on a regular basis.
MARBLELIFE Mold & Mildew Stain Remover tests as much as 6-times more effective than store-bought brands that have languished on shelves for months before your purchase. MARBLELIFE products just-in-time manufacturing maximizes performance at time of application.
Try it yourself and see what everyone is talking about. It works.

Ever wonder if you’re cleaning properly versus just making things look and smell good? Or maybe you’re not so sure how the science of mopping prevents just pushing dirt around. Luckily there are some sure-fire ways to change your cleaning habits to produce the cleanest and most durable tile and grout surfaces.
You’re probably cleaning your grout wrong.
Did you know that acid cleaners might cause grout to lose color or crumble out of grout joints? That’s why you should use MARBLELIFE’s Marble & Tavertine InterCare Cleaner for a guaranteed cleaning of your tile and grout without fear of damage.
Pro tip: for intense cleaning of grout that is exceedingly dirty, use MaxOut Tile & Grout Deep Cleaner. The end product is a professional and satisfying grout cleaning free of mold, mildew, and other germs.
You’re probably mopping wrong.
Sticky floors and muddy grout joints are the end product of regular floor cleaners and the old-fashioned process of mopping. MARBLELIFE’s Tile & Grout Cleaner can fix this problem quickly and easily for a streak-free, professional clean.
Pro tip: use a “swiffing” type mop and inexpensive terry towels for mopping without the chance of muddy water. Afterwards, just throw the towel in the laundry. No more muddy tiles!
You’re probably cleaning your shower wrong.
Mold is a microorganism that cannot be seen with the naked eye, so even after cleaning red/black mold like substances, the mold remains in the pores and crevices of the shower.
Pro tip: once the grout is clean, use MARBLELIFE’s Grout Sealer to prevent mold buildup and ensure easier cleanup in the future. Learn more about how to seal your grout, here.
You’re probably not cleaning enough.
Make sure that you are consistently cleaning your tile and grout daily and/or weekly for the best results. Familiarize yourself with how often you should be cleaning, repairing, and sealing. Generally, you want to repair any stains or fill cracks as promptly as possible and reseal annually to protect against stains.
The products you choose and the methods you adopt can be the difference between a mediocre clean and a professional clean. Learn how to properly clean your tiles and grout now so that you don’t suffer the consequences later. Don’t settle for less than a professional clean for an affordable price.
