Cleaning slate floor

[Mark02]

I have been trying to clean my kitchen slate floor. I have used LTP grimex which has cleaned off the sealer and general dirt and grease form the floor.

Im still left with dirty grout lines and grout deposits on some of the tiles



Any advice on how to remove this would be greatly appreciated?

What equipment have you been using to clean it?

Is this a new floor, as you say grout deposits on the tiles.

I have been using a stiff brush and some elbow grease and ltp grimex.

Most of the floor has been down for over 5 years. Had some tiles replaced these tiles have what looks like cement residue over them as detailed in the photo. They have been down for about one year.

You ideally need a rotary with soft to medium brush and a wet vac then I would use then since you are already using LTP grout stain remover pre-wet the floor put it on agitate it and allow to dwell 5-10minutes then agitate again then vac it up. Allow it to dry personally give it a good 24hours so the stone is dry surface and throughout the whole stone then seal with a colour enhancing sealer.

Sorry just to clarify i should use some LTp grout stain remover and agitate with a brush, before resealing.

Yes, then rinse the floor with just water.

Very good advise

Or you could try LTP solvex slighty more powerful
