Thanks John. By the color it looks to be silica so it may ne be effected by the usual type acids, worth a try, can’t use any of the silica cutting acids because of the tile. No ProSoCo here in Australia.  I will have to try a tailgate blend, was thinking sulfuric, hydrochloric, with a neutral surfactant.

Mike,

 

This is pretty heavy deposits. I would use Prosco Masonry Cleaner, this is an  acid base material that will remove this. Even with the use of the Masonry Cleaner you may need to do some scraping

Hi Guys,  any ideas for a mechanical way to get rid of this?  It looks like silica…  There are also a lot of areas where it is in the grout and weeping down stair risers. Last resort will be hand scraping.
