I just remodeled a home and I am having a hard time cleaning the newly istalled tile. I mop and mop but the tile still looks dirty. I guess its all the powder and sand that was created by the remodeling. Am I supposed to use some type of acid or buffer?
That happened to the tile in my utility room also. I am going to try the muriatic acid Good Luck to you also Nesssssssssst
Never use any strong acid on tiles.Instead try vinegar.Mix 1tbl spoon of vinegar with 1cup of water.Apply it on your tiles let it get dry.Then scrub wash with detergent water.May be it will take some time repetation of the effort but you will get the result .
Try a Magic Eraser Sponge by Mr. Clean. They are amazing. I use them everywhere in my house.They get rid of crayon marks,soap scum, and scuffs, anything really .They are very inexpensive, in the home cleaning aisle.
Sometimes when tile is installed and the water that was use to shape the joints and remove the excess grout is not changed as often as it should have been, this leaves a bloom on the tile surface. It is THIS (thin haze of grout residue) that is actually dirty not the tile. You must remove this and all will be well. Use a VERY, VERY, VERY,VERY light mixture of muriatic acid and water and clean the entire tile surface. Read and follow cautions on product label
