Re: removing excess sealer from travertine Baird Standish 16 Feb 2011 11:54 EST

Ok. All great advice. I am going to the Tile Store now to get MSDS
sheets. On-line the Tile Store recommended treating with their
Pro-strip ( I checked that MSDS and it is a blend of Meth Chlor and
other typical stuff).  They also recommend it for Aqua-mix enhance n
shine. Aqua- mix recommends nano-scrub but used the exact same
language, so probably is same stuff/same company. Still can't get the
MSDS sheet for the original sealer online.
