Elementary School bathroom Tile and grout

[Kenny Hayes]

Mix the stripper strong. It will work on on those joints. One thing you can do is get baseboard stripper in cans. Some are gel, and some are foam. Get the foam and spray any joints that didn‘t come clean. You can use a grout brush on those.

May want the mal grit orange colored brush from Malish. I have used it on jobs like this...carbide impregnated bristles....I like High PH.....I would also use a buffer with maroon SPP 3m pad....this pad is always key. Bob Alaska Floor Care . www.*******************

I've been watching youtube "how to" videos on the best way to restore quarry tile and I'm flooded with those dirty british accents.

I've been looking for something in those videos that say I can use acid treatments on this type of tile to remove salt deposits. So far, no go. But most of those videos are idiots who didn't use HWE to flush out the grout, so I think the Brits are idiots

I've got a commercial outdoor balcony with quarry tiles that I clean once a fortnight

1st time I cleaned it with the TM and tile spinner.. it looked better but not great

Now I rely on chems and agitation, and rinse with auto scrubber

on my particular floor I'd be way slower using the TM each clean, and I don't think I'd be getting good results

Janitor!

The spp wouldn’t be as good as regular strip pad unless maybe dominator, but even that I doubt. Don’t get me wrong, I’m an spp user and fan.

Cover the floor drain, build a dam at the front door, flood it with product and come back in 3 days and clean it.

What product would you flood it with?

Matt I would begin with a concrete brightener to attack the lime buildup. NOT muriatic acid! Viper Renew, phosphoric acid based brightener, other non-fuming magic from your chemical pimp.

after that, high ph, stripper, disinfectant, P-lime zyme, whatever you like. Finish by using the concrete brightener and alkaline rinse.

$1000 for that room.

Is the prochem tile acid the same as what you suggested. I have that and harvard tile acid

i don’t know, but I guess that it is designed for the purpose. Be prepared to scrape heavy deposits, don’t expect them to be dissolved completely without physical disruption.
