Calcium on, calcium off

Before and after, surface by surface

Most prints here pair a before frame with an after frame, and a few carry four or six. Each one is sorted by the surface that was cleaned: glass and ceramic tile, stone and rock, then Pebble Tec and spas. The white band at the waterline is what comes off. The glaze, the grout and the stone underneath stay.

Stone, slate and rock

Natural stone takes different media than glazed tile. It is picked per surface, which is why the stone comes out looking like stone.
