Greetings to all from your Nicola that this month wants to give you the right directions to solve a nice problem, the rust!
In this article, in fact, I want to give you the right tools and products to remove rust from your porcelain tiles floors.
Rust forms on the floor when iron in or near the floor material reacts with atmospheric oxygen (O2) and moisture. This chemical reaction causes the formation of iron oxide, known as rust, which accumulates on the floor and can cause orange or dark brown stains.
So let’s see together how to eliminate this unwelcome guest, giving again shine to our surface.
How to remove rust stains from the porcelain tiles floor?
To remove rust stains from the porcelain tiles floor, follow these steps:
- Prepare a solution of citric acid, that is, mixing a part of citric acid with four parts of hot water. Citric acid, in fact, is an effective agent for removing rust stains;
- Apply the solution on the stain, pouring the citric acid solution directly on the rust stain and making sure to completely cover the stain with the solution;
- Allow the citric acid solution to work on the stain for about 10-15 minutes. This will allow the acid to dissolve the rust;
- Brush the stain with a hard bristle brush or paintbrush to scrub the rust stain. It is important, in this step, to exert a slight pressure while rubbing, to completely remove rust from the porcelain tiles floor;
- After scrubbing the stain, rinse the area thoroughly with clean water to remove residues of citric acid and rust;
- If the rust stain persists, finally, repeat the process until it is completely removed. In some cases, you may need more than one treatment to completely get rid of the stain.
But among my suggestions I suggest a non-acidic product that can therefore be used on delicate stone materials, from marble to slate through travertine and polished grits.

It is then applied with a brush, leaving an abundant layer of product on the affected area, then rub the surface with one of the sponges and the BLUE BUFFER and let the product act until the rust is removed.
At this point the advice is to remove the product within 10-15 minutes, and then rinse with a slightly alkaline aqueous solution, such as SGRISER diluted to 10% in water.
At the end, if necessary, you can repeat the operation, or, if not, enjoy the final result!
Also for this month is everything from your Nicola. A greeting and next… advice!
When you use your oven or barbecue regularly, burnt grease, carbon residue, soot and black crusts can quickly build up on internal surfaces. This type of dirt is not the same as everyday kitchen grime. Instead, it forms because of high temperatures, bonds strongly to the surface and becomes harder to remove over time. In these situations, generic cleaners and DIY solutions are often ineffective. Worse still, they may lead to overly aggressive scrubbing that damages surfaces. That is why it is important to understand how this dirt forms and how to treat it properly. With the right approach, cleaning becomes easier and surfaces stay in better condition for longer.
Cleaning metal pots and utensils correctly is a daily task for anyone who cooks at home and uses tools that come into contact with food, heat and water. Stainless steel with streaks, darkened copper, silver that loses its shine or dull brass are common issues. In most cases, these problems are not caused by dirt, but by using cleaning methods that are not suitable for the specific type of metal. In this article, you will find practical advice on how to clean cookware and kitchen tools made of copper, stainless steel, silver, brass and chrome-plated surfaces. You will also learn which DIY metal cleaning methods really work at home, how to use them correctly and when it is more effective to rely on specific metal cleaning and polishing products to achieve more even and long-lasting results.
