Limestone with the feel of sandpaper

[takeaflight]

Hi newbie here and in deep doo doo with my wife, we have had a limestone floor laid and the shower tiled in a Honed limestone, great job but like a tit I sealed it and while I thought I had cleaned before I started now it's dried with the feel of sandpaper, :mad2:

So am I right in thinking that I have to strip off the sealer and start again, and if so what would you guys reccommend to remove the sealer with.

Thanks Roy

Try Hg remover.....

HG remover is a deep cleaner if we can understand his problem then maybe there is an easier way after all his problem is a surface one.

On travertine brick acid ?? its a alkali sedimentry limestone. You want to remove the honed surface as well then.

I will leave this to you then reaper here is the data sheet for HG remover for you watch you dont trip over the bit in red m8 😉

Directions for use: Use this product to ensure that old floors are perfectly clean before applying a new polish layer such as HG Golvpolish.

For difficult areas and to remove old polish dilute this product with a minimum of 1:4 parts of warm water. In less severe cases dilute up to 1:10 with warm water. When a scrubbing machine is used dilute 1:50 up 1:100 depending on degree of dirt.

Apply solution liberally to the floor treating up to 10-15 square metres at a time. Leave the solution to work for at least 5-10 minutes. Do not allow the floor to dry out. Scub the floor and when clean, mop up. Rinse the mop repeatedly. Rinse 2-3 times thoroughly with clean luke warm water afterwards.

Usage: 20-40 metres squared per litre. 100-250 square metres where a scrubbing machine is used.
