I really need some help here. We're cleaning this porcelain floor and getting beaten by it. Any suggestions would be appreciated. There have been some areas that cleaned up perfectly but it's less than 10% of the floor.
The problem is that when we put cleaner down and run the turbo over it it leaves streaks and spots that look like the original soil level. The spots and streaks are being caused by the turbo's outer edge. I'm thinking that the vacuum is drying areas and setting the soil in. We've tried running tight circles to prevent a pattern and to go over the spots immediately after the edge of the tool touches them. Once these spots appear they are nearly unremovable.
We have tried several cleaning products and this is happening with all of them that are strong enough to loosen the soil. After the streaks appear the only thing I've found to remove them, and it only works on some of them, is Oxyblaster mixed at 6.5lbs to a half a mop bucket of hot water.
For cleaners we've tried the following in various strenthes : Oxyblaster, ultrapac renovate, cobbs powermax, clemons degreaser/nuetralizer, purple power, stride neutral cleaner, cobbs acid grout cleaner, floor stripper, viper venom, viper renew, citrus solve.
For removing the streaks we've tried all of the above straight plus the following: Goof off, pig out, cti energy, cyclone, pog, MEK, wd40, liquid brightener, and probably some things I'm forgetting.
The 1st and 4th pics show these "spots". The 2nd shows a line on the right side where it is 2 tone from using different chems. Oxyblaster makes a clean area unmatchable by anything else but won't remove all of the unsightly spots.
We've tried running 800-2500psi, temps from 120-260F.

Squeeze it out, scrub with green pad & shower feed water, turbo. @ $2.50 per 24 oz this stuff just smoked the 1k+ in other chemicals we dumped on the floor. I'll be going store to store tomorrow in search of 130 bottles
