A suitable joint cleaning fluid, such as Clinex 4Dirt, effectively removes both dirt and discoloration. It is intended for cleaning waterproof surfaces from difficult dirt. The poor condition of joints is influenced by, among others: direct contact with water that is not systematically removed from them.
