That sounds dirty I'll need to read the posts before it I think.

Edit: no I've read the posts before it and it still sounds dirty. What's a bartenders friend?

It's a cleaning product a very fine white powder you put on a cloth and rub it in the stain

 

[Dan]

Oh right. That's the Mrs's job so no wonder I didn't know what it was! I got the wrong end of the stick there. Sorry.

The peppering sounds like the tiles weren't sealed and the pores are filling with dirt,
Can you take a few pictures of the problem ?
The bar keepers friend is a very good abrasive cleaner, Sainsburys do it iirc, I've not used it on tiles though

Oh and welcome

 

[Lynne]

Yep that's the stuff but worried incase it leaves a mark in the tiles or takes away the shine

I am in N/Aycliffe Lynn,so a stones throw from you... just had to pop out so late in replying back..

What colour grout was it and what brand.?

 

[Lynne]

I tried to take photos before to mail to stokes tiles but because of the high shine and reflection they didn't come out but the first one I noticed I thought it was a hairline crack under the surface

 

[Lynne]

The grout was white but the tiler who does lots of work with jeff got it from there

 

[DHTiling]

Lynn, attach some pics in a reply here.. and we can take a look for you..

 

[DHTiling]

Quite a pleasent chap Jeff isn't he :lol: NOT

 

[Lynne]

Stokes tiles called tile tiler as they tried to blame him also by saying it was the adhesive or gout he used but I think they called him to verify, and the rep even said it was probably something to do with the kitchen fitters but didn't know what to say when I explained the kitchen was fitted when we bought the house new 5yrs ago

 

[Lynne]

You're right. About baf

 

[Lynne]

Will take some pics and get them over tomorrow

Will these need maybe repolishing cleaned then the tiles and grout sealed.
i have been told by doing this it doesn't make much difference
