Frequently Asked Questions
Here you’ll find answers to commonly asked questions about our floor safety solutions, products, and services.
general
Could you tell me about Safe Solution® and how it works?
Safe Solution® is an invisible, non-coating, micro-tech application for hard mineral surfaces such as ceramic tile, cement, and steel enamelled bathtubs, designed to create an anti-slip surface. Safe Solution® creates invisible, microscopic channels that disperse oils and water from underfoot instead of the hydroplaning that usually occurs.
Will it change the appearance of a bathtub or ceramic tile?
At first, you may notice a slight haze, which is normal. With time and regular use, the haze will eventually fade away, and the colour will remain the same.
How long does it take to apply?
The application will take approximately 10 minutes to complete, and you can use your bathtub or shower immediately.
Does Safe Solution® work on acrylic/fiberglass bathtubs?
Porcelain and Steel/Enameled tubs respond exceptionally well to Safe Solution® treatment. Fiberglass or acrylic tubs cannot be treated. Presently, Safe Solution® does not work on these types of surfaces, but we are actively developing a product that will.
Is Safe Solution® safe for the environment?
Safe Solution® is safe and environmentally friendly. We make it safer by including a Neutralizer that converts the remaining residue into biodegradable and non-hazardous material.

What is Safe Solution®?
Safe Solution® is an invisible, non-coating, micro-etch application for hard mineral surfaces such as ceramic tile, cement, and steel enamelled bathtubs, designed to create an anti-slip surface.
How does Safe Solution® work?
Safe Solution® creates invisible, microscopic channels that disperse oils and water from underfoot, ensuring constant contact with the surface.
How effective is it?
According to the Underwriters Laboratory (UL) and the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM), “A static anti-slip coefficient of .5 or above is considered a safe walkway surface.” A Safe Solution® treated surface is 0.6 – 0.8+
Will Safe Solution® damage my floor?
Safe Solution® may cause temporary whitening or efflorescence that will disappear quickly. A slight dulling effect can sometimes be seen, but a test area is always done before application to determine its impact on the surface.
Is it a permanent process?
Experience tells us that routine daily cleaning does not stop the eventual build-up of film and residue left over from cleaning products used. When this occurs, traction will be diminished, and your floor will require rejuvenation. Once this occurs, the floors will not be operating at maximum effectiveness. Most commercial applications average 1-3 years between rejuvenations.

Is Clean Step™ more effective than my current cleaner? My floors look clean.

Clean Step™ is a highly effective, super low-residue cleaner that, when used routinely, ensures the cleanest and safest floors possible.
Is Clean Step™ really any different than other so-called multi-purpose cleaners?
Clean Step™ is a superior multi-purpose cleaner designed to optimally maintain the properties of the Safe Solution® anti-slip treatment and handle all commercial cleaning applications.
