You
should never use steel wool in a wet area. The shards are so small they do not
all get removed with the vacuum and will leave rust
stains.

Good
point! I should mention that the steel wool pads will produce a fair amount of
fibers that will block a drain tighter than a frogs
. I use a piece of
window screen to block the drain and vacuum it frequently.

Joe,
Good
comments and recommendations
My
only concern and CAUTION is using steel wool in a shower or bathroom
there is risk of leaving steel wool fragments behind. If anyone
uses steel wool in bathroom or showers I highly recommend using a magnetic
broom to pick up the steel wool fragments that may be around the area you are
working. After using a magnetic broom I then would recommend rinsing the area
where you worked including walls, floors etc. then taking a vet and dry van
and suck up all water. This process will pretty much guarantee you have
picked up ALL steel wool.

I
use Gel Gloss on Cultured Marble after cleaning & polishing. It has
carnauba waxes and its easy to use , needs to be reapplied frequently. For
ceramic or porcelain tile I use a 7 steel wool pad with soft scrub and a
pinch of honing powder or a hogs hair pad for water spots. An orbital sander
and a Scotch-Brite© pad (green pad) works well for water spots. If the tile is
a little dull use some enhancer to give it a little
life.

You
can also try a product called gel gloss, I dont use it but all my ceramic
cleaners swear by it! Must be because of how easy it is to
use.

ceramic tiles in shower surround

I am getting a client's home ready for the
market. She wants to spiff up her shower tiles. Usually, I use a
white pad on my hand held makita, with a little water to
lubricate. Does anyone out there have any other ideas to polish
these ceramic tiles? |
