I would be filing an insurance claim after my dumb ass tried to use floor stripper to remove the wax. I didn't know it was a tile that was saltillo.
So I'm watching this thread to see what the right way to do it is. Thanks Mikey

By any chance is that a dye job?
I can't tell if the glaze has broken down or the color is coming off.

No. He had applied some sort of sealant over soiling, whenever. Well, somebody had. I know because he gave the elves a partially-used gallon!
We used stripper and superheated steam, as well as a CRB. Eventually it all evened out and looked dandy.

What did you guys charge for that?
I can put about 500 sf of tile in for $3500 - $3800 dollars.

Use little bit of degreaser and stripper for this ceramic tile, should work good, and something else for grout... looks like they need a lot of love...
