polished porcelain tiles stained with grout dye

[Floor_Restorer]

Hi Cath,

I use LTP Online | Cleaning Products (Grout Stain remover) to remove some grout stains from procelain tiles. As with every new product, read the instructions!

I would recommend that you use gloves and watch spills as any grout stain remover is agressive and acidic.

Many other manufacturers such as Lithofin, Aquamix and Fila have similar products, but I find the LTP effective.

Hope this helps,

Tom

Hi Cath, You have grout in the micro -pores of the tile, which in some cases cannot be removed with a acid based cleaner. Lithofin now have a cleaner "ABRA CLEAN" this is used mainly for removing polimer waxes,pencil marks from porcelain, but i have had good results in removing inground grouts from the surface cappilaries of some tiles. Use a white pad to clean back. This product will need a test on a separate tile. Good luck.

Resurecting this thread, I have the same problem with heavy staining from BAL ebony grout on a BnQ white polished (40 x 40) porcelain tile

I guess I need two answers:

1. What can I do to prevent this happening again, should I seal porcelain before grouting?

and

2. How can I fix this job? I really dont want to have smash up the tiles an replace them.......

I have tried the stong residue remover from Topps, dilute and neat to no avail.

TY in advance

if they are polished then they need sealing before and after grouting
