To All Partners,
I am currently trying to remove stains from a new
porcelain tile installation. The porcelain tile is unglazed, and more or
less "open" . It is in a bathroom in a commercial building. The
staining appears to be coming from the grout. The grout is black and so
are the stains. The tiles were sealed prior to installation with
Miracle Sealants "Porous Plus". The grout is laticrete perma color. We
have tried cleaning it with our usual stone cleaner, Viper Venom by
Bridgpoint. No results. Then we tried acetone which yielded next to no
results. The we tried Aldon's Premium Stripper (solvent
based). The we tried an epoxy grout film remopver. No
results. None of these chemicals have impacted these stains. The floor
will have to be torn out unless I find a solution. Attached are some
photos of the floor. Any ideas?
