This post is intended to be helpful and is not aimed at anyone in particular.

All too often there are posts on this forum from various people who have problems of varying degrees from grout residue, dirt, white marks etc etc.
They usually start with "I have this problem and I have tried LTP, Aqua Mix, Lithofin, HG etc etc etc.

I would like to mention a few pointers which relate to any problem and may help.

When asking for advice:

1. Try to post pictures it always helps.
2. If you decide to use any advice given only try a product on a test area preferably inconspicuous or even better a spare piece of tile don't try the whole floor with one product and then try another and another. A lot of products don't compliment each other, they are expensive and it can be dangerous.
3. Read the directions or the instructions thoroughly and follow them.
4. Finally adhere to the dwell times reccommended. Products need time to work they are not magic.

Thats It!!!
