Our bathroom tiles have grout haze on them. Been there quite a while so imagine well and truly bedded in. I'm pregnant and the baby is due in 2 months. I therefore think we've left it too late to use an HCL bases grout remover as I've read the harmful effects can linger on for months. I'don't...

Hi, I've just had a job done and am withholding part of the payment pending resolution. I had new tiles fitted in my house and the tiler, as part of the quote, agreed to the 'removal' of the old tiles. He did this - but left them all in a (tidy) pile in my back garden! He contends that he...
