Cleaning grout etc off Porcelain tiles, tilers job?

[Amj]

He is here now and I told him and he said he will do it, no worries.

I am glad I asked here first.

thank you everyone for your advice.

I'm no expert, but wouldnt you seal the tiles before grouting ? That way, cleaning would be easier to do afterwards ?

i seal "porcs" after grouting not before.

They require no sealer.


If the tiler was not finished then i see it premature to complain .. he has not finished and might just do this on completion. and as he has now stated he will sort it..

 

[aph257]

i should have said i use a Grout sealer.

Well then of course you would seal after as you havent grouted yet lol.

Are you positive Dave ? He said they were a Matt tile and not Polished ?

Your tiler should really be leaving the room in showroom condition,If you find he wont come back to clean it which im sure he will if you ask then i would recommend a medium white emulsifying pad and a specialist concentrated cleaner [aquamix grout haze] to remove grout residue!! ofcoarse instructions for use should be read on any type!!
all the best

Dave I must have the eyes of a 90 year old, the look Matt to me. lol. Not to worry.

They are matt.. i said glazed not glass glazed..:lol: as in a matt fired finish.

They are classed as a print matt finish.. loads of them about.

Aha! When I think of glazed I automatically think of the mirrored/gloss/polish finish to a tile. Didnt realise there was a matt fired finish too. Thanks
