My recomendation would be to try some power stripper (add just a small amount of water) to try and strip the residue and then clean with grimex and rinse with water.

For peice of mind I would then reseal with MPG sealer.

If using the above method I would try in a small area first.

Waxwash would never be strong enough to remove epoxy grout residue in my opinion.

Another possability is that the dull finnish on the tile you mention is a sticky residue left over from a protective film. Where your tiles packaged with a stick plastic sheet on each tile? If so then there may be some residue which caused the epoxy to stick to it. (if this was the case Grimex alone may work)

Give LTP a call and they could also offer some advice you can contact them on www.ltp-online.co.uk

Thank you all very much for the feedback. I have contacted ltp-online and now awaiting an answer.

Hope this solves my problem as it is really doing my head in!!

I have still not had a reply from ltp-online and have sent up follow up emails. I have had contact with tile magic from whom I bought the tiles from and there service has been first class. They recommend I use a steam cleaner but I'm not so sure and if anybody has an opinion on this it would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Have you tried phoning them?? I've always ound them very helpful over the phone.

I got in contact with them earlier and they reckon the power stripper should do the trick. I'll try in an area where nobody will see first just in case this doesn't work. I'll let you all know how I get on with the various solutions I have had on here.

Cheers

I went with the LTP power stripper, grimewash and then waxwash and it has all come good for me. Thanks for all the advice.
