In our area, the orange film is biological growth. We see it in rural and outlying areas. Often it is seen when people are on a well. If it is soap, the homeowner can verify the color of their products to help out. If someone has recently had their hair dyed with red tinges, I know from personal experience and a few ruined towels that the first week it will bleed. That is possible too.

Looking at the pictures the color around the perimeter seems to be a pinkish/orange color. This can be caused by a build up of soap. If this is the case try a good soap film remover to remove the wax soap build up them try a proper mildew remover or bleach. to best clean the mildew.Bill SelikGourmet Stone CareOn Monday, April 24, 2017 10:44 AM, Blain Haeg <blain@goldstandardfloorcare.com> wrote:
Without knowing the results of the moisture reading, your solution to scrub the heck out of it, followed by a color seal may be adequate.Likely, regardless of a previous sealer application or any sealing that you provide post-cleaning, this floor will continue to have problems that can only be rectified by frequent scrubbing and cleaning.Mosaics on high-use shower floors are always a bad decision. Less grout = less maintenance, in my opinion.On Apr 24, 2017 12:20 PM, "Mike Alston" <realmikealston@gmail.com> wrote:Good afternoon Pros, a customer has a newly installed shower that is porcelain walls and marble mosaic floor. She had the shower installed last August and has been experiencing stains and molding for several weeks. I told the customer not to use the shower for a few days so I can take a moisture reading before we just jump to conclusions.
Before I left she told me the installer was a friend of a friend and did it seal it. She sealed it herself with products from the local hardware store. However, she was sure how long after the installation she did. Laticrete sent her their color seal but she is reluctant to use it. Would a good cleaning and color seal take care of her problem?
