Would have thought it should be ok, i had a sample and brought grout on our kitchen
tiles up a treat, from yellowy looking to white  :)

how much do you have to clean?

why not buy the correct solution as sold by Altro and download there cleaning instructions

Will be fine Derek. The colloidal cleaners are also excellent on Altro. Own branded products tend to be expensive. I know the Amtico range is only Johnsons stuff but about twice the price.

citrus concentrate as a pre-spray on carpets? any good?? Been tempted to try it.

Is it ok on wool? trying to find a better pre-spray for wool, been getting rubbish results on wool at the moment.

Derek,

considering you asked this question today and are doing the job tonight....... if John  had said " no you can't use citrus concentrate on altro flooring"

what would you have used?

Derek

Have used Citrus Concentrate on Altro a few times.  Have also used what Altro recommend.   Final result everytime - great.   Take your pick - you can't go wrong

p.s.   Have you got a hard floor brush for your RX20.  Try it that way. You'll zip though it in no time

Is that Altro, Derek. Cannot say I ever came accross that particular type of Altro, but then again I don't clean very many hard floors.

I was with the missus today at our hospital anti natal clinic,
it had the above Altro in waiting room, 2m wide and welded seems,
with welded coving around the edges too, looked quite nice.

Derek started a different post where it was identified - see "Hard Floor Help" a bit further down the threads.
