Cleaning pourous floor tile?

[olinda12]

Any tips on cleaning floor tile that needs to be resealed? I've tried hydrogen peroxide and bakng soda, bleach, and Tilex.

I want to get the tile cleaned once and for all so that I can reseal those suckers.

First you have to determine which was used to seal the tiles.. Some floor finishes may require special cleaners. Try to check the cleaner for a small area first.
Some finishes will come up with a mixture of water, ammonia, and landry detergant. If it is buildup and what you have used did not work, try a mild acid like sulfamic acid. Large lumber yards will have sufamic in the tile section.

Cleaning your floor tiles depends on the type of tiles you have. Maybe the removers you have tried is not suitable for the type of tile you have at home. Better tell us what type coz maybe we could add ideas or help you with it.

Shine is right because before we give you exact idea on this problem, we also need to know what type of tiles you have. There are exact tile cleaning or materials to consider. Bleach can be used in most cases to remove some of the nastier, deeper stains. You can also try diluted muriatic acid but must have safety precautions. You can dilute the acid into 60/40 acid/water solution. Maybe it could help you.
