Stone Grip Industrial (Quart) Non-Slip Floor Treatment for Tile and Stone to Prevent Slippery Floors. Indoor/Outdoor, Residential/Commercial, Works in Minutes for Increased Traction

Just had a new travertine shower installed that included granite sills and seat. Unfortunately, the first time I stepped into the wet shower, my foot slipped and it scared the daylights out of me. I found this product and had it the next day. It was easy to use; in fact, the hardest part was "gearing up" with gloves, long pants, long sleeves and eye protection. The actual application was easy. I did have trouble gauging how long to leave it on using the recommended rubber shoe test but ended up letting it set the full 15 minutes before rinsing with the baking soda and water solution. It worked beautifully and I am now able to shower with no fear of falling. It feels fine underfoot - no sticky feeling - and did not change the surface look of the tile at all. Kudos also to the seller for emailing use instructions right after the package was delivered. Made it real easy to know what to do without trying to read the small print on the bottle. Highly recommend this product.

Pool builders put in porcelain pavers. Very very slippery when wet. I used this product and it totally did the trick. I will see if necessary to do next spring again, but so far has lasted the whole summer.

Stone Grip works really well. We couldn’t be happier. Our shower floor now has much more grip when wet. We followed the instructions we found online. We also tested Stone Grip on an extra tile we had in the attic. You cannot see a difference in the tile, but you can definitely feel a difference. It’s like magic! Follow all instructions including having your neutralizer ready when the timer goes off. We actually did 2 applications because we found that the tile wasn’t as grippy as we wanted after just one application of about 10 minutes. There was no problem applying it twice. We just let the tiles dry between applications. We left Stone Grip on for about 10-15 minutes both times and it’s perfect now.Testing on a sample tile first was crucial in helping figure out how much time to leave Stone Grip on. We felt much more comfortable putting it on the file floor after testing. It’s easy and it works as advertised.

When we got the “Stone Grip” product and read the instructions, I thought "this is way too complicated, I'm going to send it back". But, something told me don't give up so easily. So I got on the Web and watched a few videos, coming to realize it wasn't that hard, I just needed to make good safety preparation since it is an acid-based product.For beginners, I thoroughly scrubbed the shower floor, rinsed, and dried it, avoiding cleaning products such as bleach (instructions say to use a neutral or weakly acid-based product for this step; bleach may react with the cleaner). The instructions could have been more specific here, as I wonder if most people really know whether bleach and similar products are "acid-based" or not. Then, once I donned a long sleeve shirt and work jeans, wrapped trash bags around my shoes, (couldn’t find my rubber boots!) put on my rubber gloves and a cheap Lowe's breathing mask, I was ready to go.The actual application took only 10 minutes; after which I repeatedly applied the easy-to-make neutralizer of water and baking soda (have it ready before beginning the treatment...very important; this is outlined in the instructions).RESULTS! It made our dangerously slippery shower floor MUCH safer and we're delighted.Note: the instructions on the bottle say to use the "Stone Grip applicator", but any long-handled nylon brush will do. DON’T get too close to the work surface while the product is in use, which is why a long-handled brush works well. So be safe, pay attention and this stuff works great...at least in our "slippery shower scenario".Overall, the instructions are the weak leak in the chain; otherwise the actual product is good choice, and the effect should last for several years.

As everyone says, "It works!" But it was a lot of work for me. My kitchen floor has large tiles that are shiny and I nearly broke my hip slipping on even a small drop of water. This product got great reviews so I thought I'd try it and share what I learned. It is expensive--know that one quart bottle covers only 50-75 square feet--barely enough to cover my kitchen. You will need a mop and bucket to wash your floor, two 1 gallon sprayers (one to apply the product and another to apply the neutralizer--water and baking soda), and a wet vac. It helps to have rubber boots, safety goggles, and hand gloves. I was very nervous about ruining my kitchen floor but it came out looking OK--the surface is no longer shiny--it is dull, which is why it has such a great grip. I tested a small area and got nervous when it still seemed slick at 14 1/2 minutes (they said it would take 5-15 minutes). I went with that length of time and it did the trick. You have to spray as evenly as possible quickly, and I can see some areas are duller than others from a bit of unevenness, but I saw no way to spread it out because a mop would have absorbed the product. I sprayed the neutralizer and then wet vacuumed it up, then sprayed another layer of neutralizer and vacuumed again, then I wet mopped with just water. Between the shopping for products and getting everything set up (I masked my stainless appliances at their base near the floor but probably didn't need to), I spent the entire afternoon on it. I probably sweated the details more than needed, but this is a very visible floor! I called Slip Doctor with some questions and they were very responsive, 888-436-5404. I would recommend this product but hope I never have to do this again.
