    Black Limestone - Cement stain removal

    As above, alkaline cleaners will generally deal with greases and dirt, you will only need to test one product. Then deal with the remaining cementisiouse contamination . I like the sound of the first cleaner to test -as it states, acid substitute and will deal possibly with the residues you have.

    Stains on tiles since they were laid a year ago!!

    An alkaline cleaner would be the first to test and safest as above, as they may be a smear of polymer/ cementisiouse residue remaining from the grout install.
