Using the correct tools can make all the difference to the performance of tile and stone cleaning, sealing and maintenance products. Drawing on years of technical support experience, LTP has developed a dedicated range of professional application tools designed to improve efficiency, reduce product waste and deliver consistently better results.
LTP’s professional tools range includes emulsifying and sealant pads and holders, coarse and smooth hand pads, buffing cloths, grout, deck and claw brushes, universal four-piece extension handles, plus complete cleaning and sealing kits. Designed specifically for the application and maintenance of tile and stone surfaces, the range aims to help professionals achieve faster, more consistent results while reducing physical strain on-site.
Using the correct applicators and cleaning tools offers significant benefits. Professional tools help users apply cleaners and protectors more evenly and efficiently, reducing product consumption while speeding up installation and maintenance. Better application also improves product performance, helping solutions work more effectively, reducing residue build-up and supporting safer, lower-maintenance surfaces. On tiled surfaces, an evenly applied sealer provides consistent protection across the entire installation, including corners, edges and grout lines, helping to minimise the need for costly renovation work later.
Quality cleaning tools are equally important; while household scouring pads can scratch or dull tile surfaces, damage sealers and even stain absorbent stone or cement-based grout, professional non-scratch white emulsifying pads provide effective cleaning without risking surface damage. Used with a dedicated pad holder, they also ensure even pressure across the surface. Similarly, professional claw brushes outperform household alternatives, improving access to grout joints, corners and other hard-to-reach areas.
Ergonomics also play a key role on-site. Tilers spend long periods working on their knees, making them particularly susceptible to strains and long-term joint problems. LTP’s application system, including its sealer applicator used with a universal four-piece extension pole, allows installers to work from a standing or more comfortable kneeling position, reducing fatigue while speeding up application. The system is said to be particularly effective on natural stone installations requiring multiple coats of sealer and helps achieve an even, streak-free finish on honed and polished surfaces.
LTP also recommends combining different tools to achieve the best results. While a pole-mounted applicator is ideal for sealing large floor areas quickly, a hand-held emulsifying pad provides greater control around skirting boards and fixtures, helping to avoid accidental damage to painted surfaces. Together, LTP says its range provides professionals with a complete solution for efficient application, effective maintenance and consistently high-quality results.
