Can you upload some pics.....don't use any sealer yet..

If you can't tell from that photo i can take a better one but it wil have to be tomorrow now before i can do that. I can't find the digital camera.

There is quite a bad dull area in the centre of the tile.

 

[DHTiling]

Yep..thats grout haze....you need a residue remover....

 

[Damian99]

Ah right what do you recommend? Once i have used this do i need to bother with a sealer?

 

[DHTiling]

Lithofin cement away...follow the instructions.....if this works then leave to dry..then use lithofin stainstop...

But be pre-warned....they might not come clean....was the grout flexible..?...some times it's the polymers embedded in the tile surface dulling it...

I have heard LTP grimex is good but i have not used it...

Anybody else used it..?

 

[Damian99]

Yes the grout was flexible

Ive sent for some stuff to remove grout haze but was wondering as the dull parts of the tile have no difference in feel when you run your hand across the surface as any of the polished tiles, is it really grout haze? Would that not have more of a rough feel to it?

Thanks
