Hi all,
recently had 600x600 riven charcoal limestone tiles laid in a 36sqm kitchen/diner. Tiles were grouted without sealing and impressive grout haze occurred. Tiler used acid-based HG Cement Grout Film Remover to remove grout. I had asked for a colour-intensifying sealer to be used. Instead he then put HG Golvpolish satin gloss polish on and finally HG Impregnator to seal. The result is a dog's dinner of white clouding (acid etching?), white marks (residual grout?), uneven colouring, sealed-in footprints and roller marks. Tiler was paid (doh) and is not now possible to contact.
Rang HG International. They advised HG Spot Stain Remover to remove sealer and HG Remover to remove polish and possible that HG Cement Grout Film Remover had damaged tiles. Have used Spot Stain amd Remover on a test tile and sealer came off fairly well, a few blobs of polish remained but white marks remained on stubbornly.
As not sure if white marks are removable stains or damage, I plan to used the Spot Stain Remover and then Remover on the whole floor to see what I am left with. I was intending to hire a Scrubber Drier to enable me to go over the floor multiple times. I have read online that a Tynex 46 grit brush will give it the most aggresive scrub. Can anyone advise what type of brush would be most appropriate for the Scrubber and any other comments on ways forward would be very welcomed.
