Joints between tiles are those gaps between tiles, once they have been placed and filled with a mix of cement, mortar, a mixture of water, and sand.
The size of these spaces is mainly determined by the thickness of the tiles that have been used and are crucial for several reasons. The joints between the tiles in fact:
• ensure that the tiles remain in place;
• fill the spaces and prevent that between the tiles water, dirt or other types of debris will go to deposit;
• make the surface of the tiles themselves more resistant to abrasion and wear.
Why do tile joints get dirty?
The joints between the tiles improve the general appearance of the floor and it is of course important to choose, for their realization, the right type of mortar, as well as it is essential to keep them clean, to avoid the formation of bacteria and mold.
The spaces between the tiles can get dirty because:
• although they are useful to prevent dirt from settling between the tiles, they can still be “home” for debris coming from outside;
• they can be victims of moisture, with the result of growing moulds and fungi.
The joints between the tiles can then darken or discolor and, as mentioned, be affected by moisture, which can penetrate into the joints, if the tiles are not sealed properly.
For these reasons, it is important to regularly clean the joints between the tiles, so as to prevent the formation of stains and the accumulation of dirt.

PULI FUGHE
Whitening detergent for the deep degreasing cleaning of cement or synthetic joints of floors and walls.
In a villa located in the Tuscan countryside, a restoration was carried out on an outdoor terracotta floor, which had deteriorated due to mould, lichens, moss, and black stains caused by moisture. The main goal was to effectively remove mould and lichens and protect the material over time. During the cleaning phase, the team used ALGANET®—a professional stain remover specifically formulated to eliminate biological colonies from terracotta and stone surfaces. The treatment successfully removed even the most stubborn encrustations without damaging the material. Afterwards, they applied TIM®—a transparent and breathable protective product designed to prevent the future formation of mould, stains, and new lichens. This product has the advantage of preserving the aesthetic appearance of terracotta while maintaining its breathability. The final result is a fully restored terracotta surface: clean, protected, easy to maintain, and resistant to atmospheric agents. This intervention stands as a concrete example of how to remove mould and lichens in a long-lasting and professional way, thanks to Marbec products.
The Marbec bathroom cleaning product line offers professional solutions designed to ensure hygiene, shine, and ease of use. Among the most effective options is a high-adhesion acidic gel that removes build-up, limescale, and organic residues from toilets and urinals. It clings perfectly to vertical surfaces, allowing for deep and targeted cleaning.
