Description

Kreidezeit Polishing Soap is an olive soap used as a protective treatment and sheen finish on Stuccolustro, Venetian and Tadelakt surfaces.

Kreidezeit Polishing Soap dates back to the 17th century France, with the same recipe still used today.

When dissolved in water and applied to sufficiently alkaline lime surfaces, part of the natural soap changes in to a lime soap. This gives the surface of the wall hydrophobic and dirt resistant properties without limiting permeability.

The most important component of Polishing Soap is Corfu Soap, a pure olive soap produced in a factory on the Greek island of Corfu. Without any added colouring, preservatives and fragrances. 

Uses

Use as a protective finishing treatment, especially for Kreidezeit Stuccolustro, Stucco Fine, Tadelakt and Marmorino. Also suitable as a finishing treatment for matt surfaces such as Kreidezeit Lime Wall Finish and Lime Paint.
