There are many D.I.Y. treatments available over the internet. Besides from being cheap and ineffective, there are several reasons why these are not your best option. 1) They come pre-mixed and ready to use. The problem with that is that there are a countless umber of different tiles on the market (color, strength, durability, quality,etc). Common sense would dictate that there isn't a one size fits all remedy. At Safety Step, we custom mix our solution for your particular tile, as every tile requires a different strength of treatment, mix ratio, application time, etc. 2) D.I.Y. treatments tend to discolor the tile. 3) D.I.Y. treatments are NOT professionally applied by a trained technician. 4) The results are short lived with a lack of warranty. 5) Most importantly...they simply do not work! At Safety Step, we have ordered and tested virtually all of the products on the market, and we can say with confidence, that we offer the most superior product available for your slippery when wet needs.
