Well Dave,
i actually don't have too much bother with haze,must be the way i was trained to wash!
I use the washboy all the time,rub first in circular motion to form joints etc,then before i move away from the area i clean sponge and rub it once on floor etc,then clean it,rub along floor or wall again then rinse again,do this often and very little if any haze appears,change water regular too,

used to use it on the wooden windows when you couldn't get the grout out lol

same here!
i use washboy,then use clean water & repeat a 3rd time! works for me!

but i do tell the customer to leave a few days then wipe over with a damp cloth

I wipe down with clean sponges a couple of times......then i leave it to dry ...then i wipe with a DRY sponge ..works a treat for me..

I use cotton polishing cloth you get from halfords on a roll.

Think it was Enduro saying the other day that you can use a bit of lithofin Cement away in the water to help...never tried it myself but sounds a good idea.....

Sponge's from topps (don't particulaly like wash boy's)and then a towel to polish off when dry.

 

[macten]

A cap full of ******* grout haze remover in your washboy water works wonders.

 

[GazTech]

Always put liquid polymer into grout, I found it helped with the wash down, hot water when washing off, clean water final wash.......Gaz
