The renovation team had just left the brand-new condo in Clementi when the owner, Mrs Lim, walked in to admire her beautiful marble and porcelain floors. Instead she gasped — every tile was covered in a dull, cloudy film. Cement haze clung stubbornly, grout lines were stained grey, and random paint specks dotted the surface. She tried mopping with regular floor cleaner, then scrubbing with vinegar — nothing worked. The floors looked worse than before the renovation.
After weeks of frustration, she discovered acid wash floor cleaning — a specialised technique that removed years’ worth of construction residue in just one session, restoring the original mirror shine she’d paid for.
What Is Acid Wash Floor Cleaning — And Why Is It Needed in Singapore?
Acid wash uses a carefully diluted acidic solution (typically phosphoric or sulphamic acid) to dissolve mineral deposits, cement haze, grout stains, and renovation residue that normal cleaning can’t touch. In Singapore, where almost every new BTO or resale unit undergoes some form of tiling or screeding work, cement haze and adhesive residue are practically guaranteed.
Common post-reno floor problems acid wash fixes:
- Cement haze and efflorescence
- Grout discoloration and stubborn stains
- Paint, silicone, and adhesive overspray
- Limescale and water marks on marble or homogeneous tiles
- Rust stains from metal tools
Left untreated, these not only look terrible — they can permanently etch into the tile surface.

The Risks of DIY Acid Washing (And Why Most Homeowners Shouldn’t Try It)
Acid washing sounds simple — just pour and scrub, right? Wrong.
- Undiluted or poorly mixed acid can permanently etch marble, travertine, or terrazzo
- Too much acid leaves a cloudy residue that’s almost impossible to remove
- Fumes are dangerous in enclosed HDB/condo spaces
- Run-off can damage nearby grout, wood, or metal fixtures
- Neutralisation step is easily skipped — leaving floors slippery and unsafe
Countless Singapore homeowners have turned SGD 50,000 floors into repair nightmares trying to save a few hundred dollars.
What Professional Acid Wash Cleaning Includes
A trained team follows a strict, safe process:
- Surface & material identification + patch testing
- Protection of walls, fixtures, and adjacent areas
- Correct acid dilution (usually 1:10 to 1:20)
- Controlled application with professional scrubbing machines
- Dwell time monitoring to avoid over-etching
- Thorough rinsing + pH neutralisation
- Final polishing and sealing (optional)
The result? Floors that look exactly as they did in the showroom — without damage.
