I cleaned some freshly installed ceramic tile yesterday in an upscale remodeled home. My contractor buddy had me clean the tile because his crew walked all over it during the remodel, everything came out perfect except.... 2 spots in front of the refrigerator, I think they were either ink or grease. My acid cleaner jug was empty so I put about 2 oz of water in the jug, shook it up and I had no effect on the stain, upt didn't work, I went to the hardware store and bought some acetone and some wire brushes, no effect. The only thing that worked at all was the CA safe super solvent, I was able to loosen the stains and spread the stain. I made it worse, I reapplied the super solvent about 4 or 5 times and had to use my cell phone light since the deck installed turned off the power, and I had to clean the last few rooms of carpet with my cell phone to light the way. I gave up on the grout stain.
I think the stupid tile setter rolled the fridge back and something leaked onto the grout before it dried, I swear the stain was in the grout and was a never ending stain. I hate grout now and I'll never waste a couple hours on $1 section of tile cleaning, I'm going to tell my friend that his installer need to remove that small grout section and re grout.
