Hi i have laid 600x400 polished limestone tiles from stone nation, they have been grouted using mapie grout, i think its number 103 or similar a light biege colour when dry. i am concerned that after grouting and wiping down a slight yellowish tint has been left on the tiles, before you ask they were not sealed prior to grouting which i think is my own fault. can any one suggest anything which might help to remove this stain?? i thought about ltp power stripper. tile giant supplied me with ltp iron wax satin but would LTP MPG Sealer be better??

cheers for any help

You will have to be careful what you use...LTP grimex will be better IMO...and if you get the residue off then seal with mattstone.....MPG not needed on polished limestone..and iron wax satin on a polished tile..?..not needed..

You must make sure they are fully dry...looks like some damp still present at the edges..

Do a test with the cleaner in an unconspicous area.....pics are hard to tell but looks like applestone but not the best selection..
