Hi, hope someone can help!

I used Dettol bathroom cleaner on my black polished porcelain tiles and it has left awful stains where the cleaner was sprayed on the tiles. No matter how much I scrub they wont come off.

What can I do to get rid of them?

Thanks
😳
 
tiles were sealed with LTP sealer for polished porcelain

The tiler had also used some sort of deep impregnator that had like a black dye in it? Does that make sense?
 
Dettol Bathroom Cleaner contains the following amongst other ingredients: Nonionic Surfactant, Disinfectant, Perfume. Also contains Benzyl Salicylate, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, Citronellol, Hexyl Cinnamal and Limonene.

Not sure it is sutaible for waxed or polish treated surfaces but other hard washables should be ok.

Is porcelaine coated like travertine?
 
It sounds like the cleaner has maybe removed what he applied to the surface...this black stuff....can you not phone him and ask what it was...don't really want to advise anything till we know what he applied..?
 
Long time since I did my Chemistry but can't see anything in the cleaner which will dissolve anything in the MPG sealer in its dry state - perhaps it is some sort of bleaching effect. It would probably disperse the Naptha compounds if scrubbed but these appear to be the evaporant solvent carriers in the product (hence the need for ventillation or you get a headache).
