Have you got extra grout marks or cement tile adhesive spots on your recently renovated bathroom? If so try these tips for removing them. If it is a just a few spots and your floor tiles have a good hard surface that won’t scratch easily, cleaning  tiles design like this should be easy.

Assemble cleaning tools. For the first steps, you only need a steel scourer pad and something to scrape with, such as a screwdriver. For harder stains, you will need to resort to a professional response using acid. See “Things You’ll Need”. Try rubbing the ceramic tiles with a stainless steel scourer pad. Scrape off. If you still have a few larger lumps try scraping with a blunt screwdriver to get the worst off and then the scourer.

Try intermediate measures if the above steps don’t do the job. A grout haze remover may be of use. You can find this at a home store or tile shop. Follow the instructions on the container. You can use the stainless steel scouring pad as above, or you may try a man made scouring pad.

Repeat the process as needed. Wash clean and wash again, get rid of all traces of the acid.
