Tannin Remover for Porcelain – Effective Stain Removal Without Damage

Porcelain is a durable, low-maintenance surface, making it ideal for patios, pathways, and outdoor living spaces. However, it is still susceptible to tannin stains—brown marks caused by organic materials such as leaves, tree sap, tea, coffee, red wine, and wood runoff. If left untreated, these stains can become more difficult to remove over time.

Using the wrong cleaning product may cause dullness, damage, or poor results, so choosing a specialist tannin remover is essential to protect your porcelain while removing stains effectively.

What Are Tannin Stains & Why Do They Appear on Porcelain?

Tannins are natural compounds found in leaves, bark, berries, and drinks. When they mix with moisture and settle on porous or textured porcelain, they can cause unsightly, stubborn stains.

✔ Common sources include fallen leaves, tree sap, wooden furniture runoff, coffee, tea, and wine spills.
✔ Unglazed or textured porcelain can trap tannins more easily, making stains difficult to clean with standard products.

Why General Cleaners Don’t Work on Tannin Stains

Standard patio or household cleaners often fail to break down tannins properly. Worse still, many contain acids or bleach that can harm porcelain surfaces.

✖ May cause discolouration or fading, especially on coloured or patterned porcelain.
✖ Can leave a sticky residue, attracting dirt and making the surface harder to clean.
✖ May damage protective coatings, reducing resistance to future stains.

Preventing Future Tannin Stains on Porcelain
