expoxy grout film on ceramic tile

[steve frasier]

New install. The contractor's construction clean up company can't get the film off the tile. Tile is kind of a light black/dark grey in color with light grey grout. Any ideas from the crowd.

I take posession of the building July 1st and might have to remove the film myself.

Oh my favorite!

How long has the grout been down?

We have had no luck with acid on heavy epoxy residue but we have had great success with kleen strip epoxy remover(gold bottle at Home Depot).

If you want, give me a call tomorrow and I can walk you through depending on your scenario with your specific details. Michael 817-829-4708

It is brand new install Michael. Construction workers have ground the stuff in pretty good. If it gets to the point where I have to take care of the problem, I will give you a call.
Thanks

Acid bath didn't do anything for the problem

To be successful it takes a full process with multiple steps to get it done well.

Dave; The DC Grout Cleaner will work very well on cement-type grout film.

Epoxy grouts require a different cleaner.

The Dynachem Stain Solv you now have, should work well on "epoxy haze".

I had 20k,square ft like this a few years ago. We used bare bones with a black and brown pad then turbo off. Some weight on your machine won't hurt either.
