So we have an interesting and valuable teaching lesson for the AHSCARC students in September waiting for us at the Vegas RMH. Last year when we cleaned the kitchen and dining room tile and grout certain areas were to be color sealed and others just cleaner sealed (with Saigers). It turns out that some carpet cleaners don't listen to directions well and the freshly clear sealed areas got color sealed as well.
Fast forward a year and a half we now have a grouted floor that is absolutely filthy (see attache pics) that would normally require a high pH cleaning like Tsunami, Ultrapak Extreme or the like, 1000 plus psi and lots of heat and scrubbing.
If we use high pH and high pressure and temperature we will almost definitely remove SOME of the color seal as well. If you removed color seal in the past you know that it never comes off easy or thoroughly. We only have 6 hours or so to fix this floor so we will HOPE that the color seal attached well to the freshly clear sealed floor and attempt to cleaning it with a mild cleaner and gentle scrubbing and low temps and pressures. If this does not work we will have plenty of stripper, an 870 and lots of wire brushes and knee pads on hand to do the right thing, in 6 hours.... gulp!
