Discuss Removing "Grout Restorer" Pen in the Tiling News; Tile News area at TilersForums. USA and UK Tiling Forum

Please checkout the following advertisement.
Some muppets went and used a bright white grout restorer pen on some beigey porcelain tiles with a mid toned ivory grout. However instead of trying it in an inconspicuous location they have trid it out in the middle of the main focal point wall and upon realising it was vastly different just left it.

So my question is, what or how is the best method to remove this (and all the crayon the children coloured bits of grout with) from the grout and surrounding tiles?

Customer doesnt want to pay for regrouting :(

Thinners gets of most things, and it does say on the grout restorer pens that you should not use solvent cleaners on them, confirming the fact, but on porcelain tiles I would guess that would etch the tiles? Cooking oil cleans off wax crayons a treat, but again you then have the problem of oil on grout...bit of a Pandora's box, so it really sounds like the customer would have to bite the bullet and pay for a regrout...


Try cleaning the porcelain with "Acetone or Xylene" these are both very effective solvent cleaners for very stubborn stains.
