Rust On Marble Floor Tiles

[Willy P]

Off white floor tile, deep rust stains from filing cabinets. Any ideas?

When you guys ask for help with stuff like this, it would be very beneficial for you to take some photos.


If it's from the filing cabinets it should be able to be removed. I would try a non acidic rust remover, maybe from Granquartz.

Willy;

We have a non-acid rust remover.

It is not on the shopping cart, however.

Non-acid rust remover is the place to start. But if the filing cabinets have been in place a long time, the rust stains may be rather deep. You will need an acid to remove the stains. Then you need to repolish the floor to remove harm done by the acid. Depending upon condition of the floor and desired level of gloss when you are done, this may be accomplished with Spinergy / Monkey pads or you may need to go to resin bonded diamond discs.

If it is off white and gray with dark gray veins it could be carrara, in which case an acid is not advisable. Poultice with a non acidic rust remover is probably the best bet.
